The Legend of "Stingy Jack"

     According to Irish folklore a man named Jack, well known for his drunkenness and quick temper, got very drunk at a local pub on All Hallows Eve. He met the Devil outside the pub because the Devil wanted his soul. Jack asked him one more drink but he didn’t have the money to pay. So he convinced the Devil to turn himself into a coin and Jack put it into his wallet that had a silver cross that caught the Devil. Jack agreed to free the Devil under one condition: he should let him live for another year. The Devil accepted.

     The following year the Devil reappeared and asked Jack to accompany him. Jack told the Devil to take an apple from a tree; when the Devil climbed up, Jack carved a cross on the tree and the Devil was trapped again. This time Jack asked the Devil ten more years of life in exchange for his freedom; again the Devil had to accept.

     Soon after, Jack died. God would not allow such an unsavory figure into heaven. The Devil kept his word not to claim his soul, would not allow Jack into hell. He sent Jack off into the dark night with only a burning coal to light his way. Jack put the coal into a carved-out turnip and has been roaming the Earth with ever since. The Irish began to refer to this ghostly figure as “Jack of the Lantern,” and then, simply “Jack O’Lantern.”

     The Irish used to carve turnips or beets as Jack’s lanterns and place them into windows or near doors to frighten away evil spirits on Halloween night. When they emigrated to the USA, they brought their traditions with them. They couldn’t find turnips in America but they found a lot of pumpkins which were suitable substitutes to make a Jack O’Lantern; since then, pumpkins are an essential part of Halloween celebrations.

He began to think, and, in trying to find out why the apple fell, discoveed how the earth, sun, moon, and stars are kept in their places. A boy named James Watt sat quitly by the firside, watching the lid of the tea kette as it moved up and down. He began to think; he wanted to find out why the steam in the kettle moved the heavy lid. From that time he went on thinking and thinking; and when he became a man, he improved the steam engine so much that it could, with the greatest ease, do the work of many horses. When you see a steamboat, a steam mill, or alocomotive, remember that it would never have been built if it had not been for the hard thinking of someone. A man named Galileo was once standing in the cathedral of Pisa, when he saw a chandelier swaying to and fro. This set him thinking, and it led to the invention of thependulum. James Ferguson was a poor Scotch shepherd boy. Once, seeing the inside of a watch, he was filled with wonder. "Why should I not make a watch?" thought he. But how was he to get the materials out of which to make the wheels and the mainspring? He soon found how to get them: he made the mainspring out of a piece of whalebone. He then made a wooden clock which kept good time. He began, also, to copy pictures with a pen, and portraits with oil colors. In a few years, while still a small boy, he earned money enough to support his father. When he became a man, he went to London to live. Some of the wisest men in England, and the king himself, used to attend his lectures.

Milu is the name of the dog bought by his father earlier this year. It had a thick, silky-yellow fur but had brown hairs that looked like patches. The eyes were round and black, and they looked very refined.

The small nose is always wet, it sounds very good. His ears are always prickly, looking very stubborn. He had a sharp tooth, when he saw him, he certainly did not let the thief approach. That's why, last week, it was you who caught the thief who snuck into my house.

My parents rewarded me with a full meal, delicious meat, vegetables and fish. After eating, he swooped into my lap to be caressed and cared for by my brother. Occasionally, Milu rubbed his head against his leg to show affection. Everyone loved Milu. Going away, everyone has a gift for it. At that time, the cake, when wrapped in candy. He accepted with joy and gratitude. Milu is wise and loyal, is considered an indispensable member of my family.

Milu是他父亲今年早些时候买的狗的名字。 它有一层厚而柔滑的黄色皮毛,但有棕色的毛发看起来像斑块。 眼睛是圆的,黑色的,看起来非常精致。

小鼻子总是湿的,听起来很不错。 他的耳朵总是带刺,看起来很顽固。 他有一颗锋利的牙齿,当他看到他时,他当然没有让小偷接近。 这就是为什么,上周,是你抓住了偷偷溜进我家的小偷。

我的父母给我一顿丰盛的美食,美味的肉类,蔬菜和鱼。 吃完之后,他猛扑到我的膝盖上,被我哥哥抚摸和照顾。 有时候,Milu揉着他的头靠在他的腿上以表达感情。 每个人都喜欢米卢。 走开,每个人都有礼物。 那个时候,蛋糕裹着糖果。 他高兴地感激地接受了。 Milu是明智和忠诚的,被认为是我家庭中不可或缺的一员。
