Famous Haiku

• An old silent pond...
  A frog jumps into the pond,
  splash! Silence again.

  - Bashō

  
  

  • Toward those short trees
    We saw a hawk descending
    On a day in spring.

    - Shiki

    
    

    • Winter seclusion -
      Listening, that evening,
      To the rain in the mountain.

      - Issa

      Written by: Matsuo Basho  

      In the cicada's cry 

      No sign can foretell 

      How soon it must die.

Trash, by Andy Mulligan

We are about to read a novel called 'Trash'.  Here's the link to the book trailer.

We think the miraculous thing that Raphael Fernandez finds could be...

• a house under the trash
• hope - for a better place to live, fresh water, fresh food
• treasure - gold?
• a key to a secret door 
• a computer that still works
• a magic crystal that takes him to another world, where they live in luxury
• a purse with lots of money (thousands) and the purse is valuable too
• Nintendo
• KFC
• a rusty, musty hennessy venom
• a shining box with magical powers in it
• a magic locket that when opens, it travels to another world
• a globe that controls the earth
• something that could grant wishes
• a genie that gives him a massive tower to live in
• a broken down money machine, clogged with money
• petrol station
• a chicken that lays golden eggs
• an underground world
