Story: The Star Dollars There was once a little girl who was very very poor. She had no little room to stay in and no little bed to sleep in and nothing more to eat except one piece of bread. So she said a prayer, put on her little jacket and her hood and took her piece of bread and went out into the world. When she had walked a little way, she met an old man, bent and very thin. He looked at the piece of bread she had and said, “
Will you give me your bread little girl? I am very hungry.“ The little girl said, “ Yes“ and gave him her piece of bread. When she had walked a little farther, she came upon a child, sitting by the path crying. “I am so cold!“ said the child, “ Won‘t you give me your little hood to keep my head warm?“ The little girl took off her hood and tied it on the child‘s head. Then she went on her way. After a time, as she went, she met another child. This one shivered with the cold, and she said to the little girl, “ Won‘t you give me your jacket little girl?“ and the little girl gave her her jacket and went on. After a while, she saw another child, almost naked by the wayside. “ Oh little girl“ said the child, “ won‘t you give me your dress? I have nothing to keep me warm!“ So the little girl took off her dress and gave it to the other child, and now she had nothing left but her little shirt. It grew dark and the wind was cold, and the little girl crept into the woods to sleep for the night. But in the wood a child stood, weeping and cold. “ I am cold“ she said, “ give me your shirt.“ And the little girl thought, “ It is dark, and the woods will shelter me. I will give her my little shirt.“ So she did, and now she had nothing left in all the world. She stood looking up at the sky to say her nighttime prayer. As she looked up, the whole sky full of stars fell in a shower around her feet. There they were, on the ground, shining bright and round. The little girl saw that there were silver coins, and in the midst of them was the finest little shirt, all woven out of silk. The little girl put on the little silk shirt and gathered the coins and she was rich, all the days of her life.

Coronavirus: 'The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing'

"The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing," says Andrew O'Dwyer, who is recovering after being infected with the new coronavirus following a skiing trip to Italy in late February. "I've had worse flu, without a doubt - but I wouldn't want to catch it again," he says during his self-isolation at home in south-west London. Despite having type 1 diabetes, Andrew says having the virus "isn't anything to worry about for me personally". He adds that the fever he experienced is "no different to normal flu-type symptoms". "I've not been concerned," he says. The severity of symptoms can vary widely among people. Those who are older and have pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease) are more likely to become severely ill and can need hospital treatment. There have been 10 coronavirus-related deaths so far in the UK. Andrew was told the virus wasn't circulating in the resort ...

Babajide made a Stunning Revelation about the Forthcoming Governorship Election in Edo State

Babajide a veteran journalist, while speaking on the popular program “Journalist Hangout” on TVC news Friday August 7, made a stunning revelation about the forthcoming governorship election in Edo state, says all political parties should shown violence because election is not a do or die affair. Babajide while reacting said “ I have to say I have my fears about these forthcoming election, and I hope my fears does not come past. As we can see the shenanigans in Edo state it is now visible that it is no more Oshiomole against Obaseki, it is now PDP against APC which could be devastating in the light of the politics going on now. Obaseki himself divided the APC, because all the lawmakers in Edo state belong to the APC but he divided them by inaugurating some lawmakers, and refusing to inaugurate others. Right now as it stands 17 lawmakers have decided to align with the APC and just 7 lawmakers is with the Governor. For me I think Obaseki should have averted these problem by just issuing a...

THE MASCARENE PARROT

The Mascarene parrot was 35 cm (14 in) in length with a large red bill and long, rounded tail feathers. Its legs were red, and it had naked red skin around the eyes and nostrils. It had a black facial mask and partially white tail feathers, but the colouration of the body, wings and head is unclear. Descriptions from life indicate the body and head were ash grey, and the white part of the tail had two dark central feathers. In contrast, descriptions based on stuffed specimens state that the body was brown and the head bluish but do not mention the dark central tail feathers. This may be due to the specimens having changed colour as a result of aging and exposure to light, as well as other forms of damage. Very little is known about the bird in life. The Mascarene parrot was first mentioned in 1674, and live specimens were later brought to Europe, where they lived in captivity . The species was scientifically described in 1771. Only two stuffed specimens exist today, in Paris and Vienn...
