Word game

More news from my day.

On the past day, I went to a house where men work for the town. I got a card there. That card says who I am and that I am from this place :slight_smile:

And I got a small book there. The book, too, says who I am and that I am from this place. It shows my face, too. Now I can go to the place I want to go to next month, and come back.

That place is not like the place where I am now. That place has a Queen. This place does not. So that place needs to see the small book when I want to go there. And my place wants to see the small book when I come back – since I will have come from a place which is not this place.

What will you do when you go to that place? How long will you stay?

I doubt that you will see the Queen.

I said up in this thread where I will go - to Wales. I want to speak Welsh there, for I learn Welsh. So I will go to a place where lots of boys and girls speak Welsh. It is in the North of Wales.

I will stay for three days. Well, I will go there on the first day, I will sleep, I will have one full day to see the place, then I will sleep again and I will go back home on the third day. This way, the flights are cheap, for they are not at the start or end of the week.

And it is not cheap to stay in Wales for long :slight_smile: So it will be but three days for me.

I doubt that I will see the Queen, too. Nor a Welsh drake :smiley:

Have you been to Wales? Or to my place? (My place is where the tongue is called “Deutsch” in the tongue of the place.)

By the way, I have a small book from the place that Wales is a part of, too. I have had that small book all my life. But some boys and girls in that place said that they do not want to be part of the big place. I don’t know what will be. So I asked for a small book from the place where I live now - where I was born - where I have spent all my life. That way, I can stay here and live here and work here, if Wales is part of the big place or not in the time to come.

So now I have two small books, one from the Welsh place and one from my place.

I have not yet been to Wales, nor to your fine land.

I live far across the fair seas, in a place where there is much rain. This month our rain goes on and on, and makes the hills slide.

I think you have to think and put new word in place of this word

Good catch! This is what makes this game fun. The big words tend to sneak past, which makes us smile.

You did not see a thing :slight_smile: It is gone now. Thank you.

This is one thing I like about my land now - the earth does not quake, the hills do not slide, the mounts do not belch forth flame, the winds do not blow too strong most of the time.

But there are times when there are floods - more now than of yore? The air and rain and all that seems to play tricks on us these days…

Ha ha, you caught me! I will leave mine in place.

It seems to me that in this game it should not be so darn hard to get the rule right. If I go slow I can do it, but when I try to go fast I do err. [quote=“mizinamo, post:29, topic:9456”]

I want to learn to tell tales in 10 ways (that are not the same) boys and
girls talk in the lands they have born and live

I live in the east now. The far east. Far from the west, I like and know the best. I do not talk like the boys and girls do here. I try long and hard to learn to talk like they do, but still I do not. One day I may, but when will that be? I am old now. Not like the boys and girls in this new land. It is hard to learn when you are old. All I can do is pray and ask God to help me learn. God is my friend. He will help me learn. He does not care where I live. In Him I place my hope to learn, to live, to love. God is all to me.

Wow, @pdao, your tale is so good, flows like a stream. In what way did your mum and dad speak when you were born and grew up. Is it the same as where Trump lives or where the Queen lives?

My place in the west is where the sun sets last by the big, calm pond. The same calm pond that I can see from my view here in the east. The name in the east for the place of my home in the west is “Old Gold Hill”.

The place in the west has no Queen, but now it seems to have a King of Mean. Few like the King now, but three short months ago he was all the rage. Folks in that place do not know what they want at times, yet they love to make changes, even poor ones when they look back on them. Let the King be, some folks say. A new King will come in four more years. Where will I be then? Where will my place be? Only God knows, and He does not say a word. If He does not talk, why do we ?

in fact you did want to say not this but that they want to make new things

i like it a lot … a pond it is :joy:… the most big pond

The name of that pond, as said in Spain, is the word for calm, less an “o”. It is a most big pond !

I leave this game to have my meal. I bid you bye for now. Thank you for a smile. Sleep well, friend. Good night.

I think I know the place of which you speak. When people speak of it in the speech of the Queen, that place is named for a saint in the tongue of Spain, is it not? And it is by a bay with a big bridge by its mouth.

The place where I live is not by a big pond - it is by a big stream. That stream flows to the North Sea.

It is true what you say of the bridge and the bay. I miss them both so much. But the east is my home now. No cold or fog here, just heat and rain. The land here is so green. It is brown most of the time in the cold and the fog.

The earth does shake in both the west and the east. We do not fear it though, we just go with the flow. Some day I may view your land. I know not when. I do not plan, I just go when I can.

Food is the best here. I smile as I eat. I may not speak like the boys and the girls, but I can out eat them for sure !!!

But now I must sleep. Tah tah, my friend.
