My Praying hands

These are my praying hands. I have been praying for the forests around the world.

Why snakes don't have legs?

                   Why Snakes don't have legs?
Once upon a time, there lived a monkey named James. Her friend was a snake named Daniel. They lived in a 3 storey house with a healthy garden full of bright green beans and rich red beetroot. They had a lot of books and didn't know where to store them.

So one day, they decided to make a book-shelf out of wood so they could store books in the there. Off they went to the shop called Bunnings warehouse to buy the wood. When they started, Jordan the elephant strolled by and greeted them and soon they went back to work.

In the afternoon, they stopped to have a rest and to eat lunch. Soon they started to finish it. When suddenly Daniel’s legs got stuck in the gravel. James tried pulling Daniel out but he was not strong enough. So James quickly called Jordan the elephant to get Daniel out of the gravel. Jordan puffed and huffed, pulling so hard that stretched Daniel and even pulled his legs off. So now onwards Snakes are long and they don’t have legs.

A loud voice booms across the chapel. I can hear Father Peter consecrating the wine. It is the morning and we are having mass in the chapel. A soft draught is blowing through the holes between my toes. I can see the bright red and light pink flowers. The candles beside Father Peter are unlit and are very nicely designed.


Father Peter is wearing a clean, white cassock and a black watch as dark as midnight. I can smell the new painted wall and I can see a smooth wooden tabernacle on the painted wall with something carved on it. On the other table there is a little flask of wine. The sun is beaming through the windows brightly. I turn around and I can see the nuns behind me.

I stop and wonder how people become nuns and why they want to become nuns. Do they have to wear habits even today? I am glad that we have nuns even today because I think they are very caring and generous.
