No one knows what happened to Elmesu or his father, but the tradition of having a special day honoring fathers has continued through the years in countries across the world.
Father’s Day is celebrated on 3rd Sunday in June in many parts of the world. The idea for creating a day for children to honor their fathers began in Spokane, Washington. A woman named Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Father’s Day while listening to a Mother’s Day teaching given in a church in 1909. Having been raised by her father, Henry Jackson Smart after her mother died, Sonora wanted her father to know how special he was to her. It was her father that did everything for her and was, in the eyes of his daughter, a courageous, selfless, and loving man. Sonora’s father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Father’s Day celebration in Spokane, Washington on the 19th June, 1910.

A girl in her teens babysat for a wealthy family one night. The wealthy family had a very large house with many rooms. It was filled with lots of artefacts and old ornaments from all over the world. As the parents were leaving to go out, the father told the girl that once the she put the kids down, she must go down to the basement, watch TV there, and not go wandering around the house.

Once the kids are asleep, the girl retires to the basement room to watch TV. However, she cannot concentrate on her show because in the in the corner of the room is a life-size clown statue grinning at her. She finally decides to drape a blanket over the statue so she can ignore it. After a while she can’t stand looking at the clown statue’s over-sized feet sticking out from under the blanket. She decides to call the father and ask his permission to watch TV in another room, because she is freaked out by the giant clown statue in basement room.

“Listen very carefully,” says the man to the girl.

“Our children have been complaining about a clown that comes into their room in the middle of the night. We just thought it was nightmares. We don’t own a clown statue. You need to get the kids and get out of the house NOW! I’ll call the police.”

The girl hangs up the phone, turns around to look at the covered clown statue, but all there is a blanket on the floor! She hears steps coming down the basement stairs. (-_-)

Một cô gái ở tuổi vị thành niên của mình cho một gia đình giàu có một đêm. Gia đình giàu có có một ngôi nhà rất lớn với nhiều phòng. Nó được làm đầy với rất nhiều đồ tạo tác và đồ trang trí cũ từ khắp nơi trên thế giới. Khi cha mẹ rời đi để đi ra ngoài, người cha nói với cô gái rằng một khi cô đặt những đứa trẻ xuống, cô phải đi xuống tầng hầm, xem TV ở đó, và không đi lang thang quanh nhà.

Khi những đứa trẻ đang ngủ, cô gái nghỉ hưu trong phòng tầng hầm để xem TV. Tuy nhiên, cô không thể tập trung vào chương trình của mình bởi vì trong góc phòng là một bức tượng chú hề kích cỡ cuộc sống cười toe toét với cô. Cuối cùng cô quyết định treo chăn lên bức tượng để cô có thể bỏ qua nó. Sau một lúc, cô không thể đứng nhìn vào đôi chân quá lớn của bức tượng chú nhô ra từ dưới tấm chăn. Cô quyết định gọi cho người cha và yêu cầu sự cho phép của mình để xem TV trong một căn phòng khác, bởi vì cô bị bối rối bởi bức tượng chú hề khổng lồ trong phòng tầng hầm.

“Nghe rất cẩn thận,” người đàn ông nói với cô gái.

“Các con của chúng tôi đã phàn nàn về một chú hề đi vào phòng của họ vào giữa đêm. Chúng tôi chỉ nghĩ đó là những cơn ác mộng. Chúng tôi không sở hữu một bức tượng chú hề. Bạn cần phải có được những đứa trẻ và nhận ra khỏi nhà NGAY BÂY GIỜ! Tôi sẽ gọi cảnh sát."

Cô gái treo điện thoại lên, quay lại nhìn bức tượng chú hề phủ đầy, nhưng tất cả đều có một tấm chăn trên sàn nhà! Cô nghe thấy tiếng bước xuống cầu thang tầng hầm.

Miss Darby was one of those people who never threw anything away. “You never know when you might need it” was (1) ....one... of her favorite sayings. She lived (2) ..by.. herself in a large Victorian house across the road from us. Although I never went to her house, I knew it was full (3) ..of .... antique furniture, Persian carpets and so on. In every room, there were dozens of paintings so that her house was (4) ..like...an art gallery. I remember my father (5) .saying.. that she was a “ Staffordshire Darby” but I had (6) ....no.. idea what he meant. I (7) ..found.. out years later that the Darby family had made their money from coal-mining in Staffordshire. We used to make up stories (8) ..about.. her. My sister Alice, (9) ....who... was a romantic girl, told us that Miss Darby once had a lover, but he walked out one day and she (10) ...never... saw him againbatngo
