h friends- Chesterton -the notebook

Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. 

Children already know that dragons exist. 

Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed.

 TASK_ Read three quotes you like, and copy them on your notebook.

From The Notebook      (by G.K. Chesterton )

Humanity is an extension of human and intensively individual beings.

 Once I found a  friend. "Dear me," I said, "he was made for me."But now I find more and more friends who seem to have been made for me  and more and yet more made for me.  

Is it possible we were all made for each other all over the world?

            A list   (poem)

             

I know a friend, very strong and good. 

      he is the best friend in the world.

I know another friend, subtle and sensitive. 

      He is certainly the best friend on earth.

I know another friend: very quiet and shrewd; 

      there is no friend so good as he.

I know another friend, who is enigmatical and reluctant; 

      he is the best of all.

I know yet another: who is polished and eager; 

       she is much better than the rest.

I know another, who is young and very quick: 

       the most beloved of all friends.

I know a lot more and they are all like that.

Friends: a list  (by G.K. Chesterton -adapted)

I know a friend, very strong and good. 

      She is the best friend in the world.

I know another friend, subtle and sensitive. 

      He is certainly the best friend on earth.

I know another friend: very quiet and charming; 

      there is no friend as good as he.

I know another friend, who is enigmatical and secretive; 

      she is the best of all.

I know yet another: who is sensible and enthusiastic; 

       she is much better than the rest.

I know another, who is young and very quick: 

       the most beloved of all friends.

I know a lot more and they are all like that.

The poem was really nice. I've translated in to Korean for you.
I hope you like it. 


나는 착하고 강한 친구를 알아요. 그녀는 세상에서 가장 좋은 친구에요.

나는 또 다른 섬세하고 감성적인 친구를 알아요. 그는 확실히 지구상에서 가장 좋은 친구에요
나는 또 다른 조용하고 매력적인 친구를 알아요. 그 같이 좋은 친구는 없어요.
나는 또 다른 수수께끼같고 신비한 친구를 알아요. 그녀는 모든 것 중에 최고에요.
나는 또 다른 현명하고 열정적인 친구를 알아요. 그녀는 다른 애들 중에 최고에요.
나는 또 다른 젊고 빠른 친구를 알아요. 그는 모두에게 사랑 받아요.

나는 더 많은 사람을 알고 그들은 하나같이 다 똑같아요.

                             JEDNA LISTA PRIJATELJA

Znam jednu prijateljicu, koja je cvrsta i dobra. Ona je najbolja prijateljica na svijetu.

Znam jednog dobrog, jako dobrog prijatelja. On je stvarno najbolji prijatelj na Zemlji.

Jos jedan prijatelj, kog znam, jako je miran. Nema boljeg prijatelja od njega.

Znam jos jednu prijateljicu, koja je zagonetna i tajanstvena. Ona je zaista najbolja od svih.

Onda znam jos jednu, koja je stvarno simpaticna. Ona je puno bolja od svih drugih.

Znam jos jednog prijatelja, koji je mlad i aktivan, on je najljubljeniji od svih prijatelja.

Znam ih jos puno, koji su isto takvi.
