Valsin: Mrs. Odile you had no choice, besides the neighboring Mamzelle Aurlie is a good woman

Odile: of course, I do not doubt it at all, but sometimes I worry about she and I do not know if she is a good influence for my kids

Valsin: what it is the reason for your concern?, neighboring Mamzelle Aurlie can be a bit strange but i assured that she will take good care of your children

Odile: your words are of great help, and with respect to your question Mr. Valsin I care about neighboring Mamzelle Aurlie because of its loneliness, it is alarming that at this age she do not have a husband

Valsin: I guess Mrs. Odile that no man has come to love Miss

Odile: I considered that impossible, at some point in her life she must fell in love, maybe it was a forbidden love and today she laments silently

Valsin: maybe it can be Mrs. Odile, but in all cases that did not get her rid of his singleness

Odile: definitely, you have given me a great idea, when i return to take care of my mother and my husband is at home I will find a husband to Miss Mamzelle Aurlie

Valsin: I hope you have good luck neighboring Mamzelle Aurlie is demanding

Odile: sure, she will not be this year without a wedding ring in her hands

Valsin: If you say so Mrs. Odile

THE MCWILLIAMSES AND THE BURGLARD ALARM BY MARK TWAIN

Make a poem using 10 unknown words  

ENCLOSED IN A BODY

I woke up in the harem

It is difficult to be sit on this chair all the days of my life

People call me cripple

Mom and sister says that I hobbled their lives

I see faces and I heard voices but for them I’m invisible

They can’t listen to my voice; I can’t move my legs or my arms

I should commit suicide but I can’t even do that

People tell that what I say is seemingly wanton

I squirm asking for help, am enclosed in this body 

I’m gradually fading toward the end of the world maybe that’s a better place

People are made of miscellaneous experiences

I can’t write my own history, am just a tinware for the creation 

Today I have a dazzling idea that wouldn’t be heard like always

My father doesn’t refurnished my chair since 1995

He continue talking pleasantly with my mom and just for one second he look at my eyes

And everything is flawless.
