Kids' Page

This page is for kids, and people who like kids.

"There are children raised in sorrow on a scorched and barren plain,
there are children raised beneath a golden sun
There are children of the water, children of the sand,
and they cry out through the universe, their voices raised as one:
'I want to live, I want to grow, I want to see, I want to know,
I want to share what I can give, I want to be, I want to live'

Have you gazed out on the ocean, seen the breaching of a whale?
Have you watched the dolphins frolic in the foam?
Have you heard the song the humpback hears five hundred miles away?
Telling tales of ancient history of passages and home?
'I want to live, I want to grow, I want to see, I want to know,
I want to share what I can give, I want to be, I want to live'"

"Many take it to rural fairs with their farm produce or livestock. Some take it to visit relatives. For students, it's just like their 'school bus'. And the lowest price has remained at two yuan – about 30 cents.

'I just bought some wild potherbs at 10 Yuan per kilo on the train. I'll be able to earn one hundred Yuan per kilo by reselling them at a market in the city.'

'Without this train, we'd have to walk, as the transportation in our hometown isn't convenient. For a long time, there were no other options.'"

JOURNALISM

"Who, What, Where, When, Why, & How" - Good Charlotte - "The Electric Company"

The word is about, there's something evolving,
Whatever may come, the world keeps revolving...
They say the next big thing is here,
That the revolution's near,

But to me it seems quite clear
That's it's all just a little bit of history repeating.
The newspapers shout a new style is growing,
But it don't know if it's coming or going,

The Environmental Protection Agency states that 70 decibels, not 85 as this cartoon shows is the limit that human ears can process without hearing damage. I chose to keep because of little children being able to comprehend the over all message.
