The forest was so beautiful. Even though it was raining, I thought of the sun peering through the trees. There were mga hayop all over. It was like Hapon only slightly less busy. Lots of unfamiliar mga hayop gave Minrough high-fives and hugs. After a moment, I scanned his mind. Patients? I thought he sinabi he was a soldier not a healer! After a minute, I demanded to know who they were.
“Patients”. Just like I thought.
“I thought you sinabi you were a soldier at the war”!
“Yeah, a war of diseases”.
“But you’re only a kid! How could you be a doctor”?
“Not a doctor, healer”.
“How does that even work”!
“I have like a magic touch sort a thing when all I have to do is touch where it hurts and it heals”. I began to protest, to say how unreal that is when I remembered my mindreading dilemma. I’m the one that’s unreal right now.
Moments passed when we came to a little puno near a lake.
“Lisa, Ive got a story I got to tell ya”. His eyes widened with fear.
“You don’t have to tell me anything you don’t want to” I said.
“No, I want you to know, it’s just that Ive never told anyone before”. I was realy carious now.
“What’s going on Minrough”? I didn’t want to read his mind now, I wanted him himself to tell me.
“I want you to know about my father and my past”. He began with a sigh. “My father was a real soldier at war. In 2002, the mga hayop went at war with the humans. Adults from all over the forest were taken away sa pamamagitan ng General Jaspy to fight. My mom begged Jaspy to let my father stay. He promised her that my dad would be fine, but he lied. All the mga hayop were killed besides Jaspy. He swore it just so happened he was last man standing. I say it wasn’t though. Something fishy is going on with him and I demanded to know what it was but he wouldn’t spill. Now that he is the forests new king, I can’t get to him.” He took a deep breath. “I have a deep desire to find out what he was up to and arrest him for it.” His eyes met my gaze. “Since he has been in power, my mother and I have been like slaves to him. “ I was to shocked to speak. Poor Minrough, a father killed in war. Wow just wow. Jaspy take the trono though? Minrough wasn’t telling me something I should know.
“Your dad was a prince”? I asked. Oops…
“How’d you know”? He asked shocked.
“um .. Lucky guess…” I said. Oh boy. He gave me an odd look, “okaaay..” Pheew! Close one.
“Yeah” he answered, “And his brother became king. But, his brother swore if he was to die, my dad could take the throne. That’s the fishy part. The araw after my uncle died, that’s when Jaspy came over to take my dad.” That did sound fish.
“Does Jaspy have any criminal records”?
“No, well... No one knows. He destroyed his record.” Sounded fishier now.
“I swear I’m going to bust him some araw but I... I can’t…” He got upset again.
“I would help you. Your right, it is fishy.” I said. He smiled, “I knew you would”. I thought about this. Maybe it was an accident but wouldn’t that mean Minrough would take the throne? Yes. I knew now this was no accident. Jaspy was up to something and we were going to find out.
“Patients”. Just like I thought.

Lonely Girl
So peaceful in sleep she lies
Brown hair spilled across her pillow
I can picture her beautiful eyes
Looking into her dreams…
She looks like she’s not listening
But really she’s deep in thought
Remembering forgotten memories
When she lived life as she ought
Stolen kisses in the night
Laughing with her friends
Little did she know back then
This is where it all would end
Her puso is filled with regret
Always looking back
She wishes she would just forget
And find happiness once madami
I don’t think she’ll ever forget you
But for now there’s joy on her face
She keeps reminding herself
It’s not a race, to be the first to find your place
Now as the sun goes down
She’ll say a prayer
Wishing perhaps for you
But really, life’s not that fair
There’s nothing this Lonely Girl can do
So peaceful in sleep she lies
Brown hair spilled across her pillow
I can picture her beautiful eyes
Looking into her dreams…
She looks like she’s not listening
But really she’s deep in thought
Remembering forgotten memories
When she lived life as she ought
Stolen kisses in the night
Laughing with her friends
Little did she know back then
This is where it all would end
Her puso is filled with regret
Always looking back
She wishes she would just forget
And find happiness once madami
I don’t think she’ll ever forget you
But for now there’s joy on her face
She keeps reminding herself
It’s not a race, to be the first to find your place
Now as the sun goes down
She’ll say a prayer
Wishing perhaps for you
But really, life’s not that fair
There’s nothing this Lonely Girl can do
If you've learnt British English and you're travelling in the States,or if you've learnt American English and you're travelling in Britain,you'll notice some differences.An obvious difference is the accent,but most travellers find that they don't have too many problems with this.There are some grammatical differences,but they shoudn't make it difficult to understand people,or to communicate.That leaves differences in vocabulary,which can cause misunderstandings.Sometimes the difference is only the spelling,for example,in British English 'center','colour',and 'travelled',and in American English 'centre','color',and 'traveled'.But sometimes the word is completely different in British and American English,and it's good idea to be prepared.
