Copy his poem the road not taken-

The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

summary of the history of the Arabian nights

Who wrote this book originally? The book that we have today "was collected over many centuries by various authors, translators and scholars across the Middle East and North Africa. The tales themselves trace their roots back to ancient and medieval Arabic, Persian, Indian, Egyptian and Mesopotamian folklore and literature." So there is not really a really author to the stories within the book but who ever did really write them was amazing writer.

What can you tell me about the book? It is mainly about a king or a Sultan how marries young women and kills them after their wedding day, but there one night the girl was clever and had her younger sister sneak into her bed room before the king saw her when the sister was found.His wife bag to tell her sister a story before she went to bed, the king allowed it, interested himself in what the story was going to be about.His wife began her story and for 1,001 nights she told her story and therefore lived longer then any other wife of the king's.

What were your observations of the lemarsLemar's and their babies, what did you discover about their socailsocial behaviour? Some observations I made at the place I went, was the lemurs were very socaiablesociable, and as I could tell sorta liked us. They showed off their cute babies by putting them on their back. At one time the mother tried carringcarrying both of her two babbiesbabies, the father seeing she was haveinghaving trouble came and took one of the babies on his back. This little family I found out was going to be departed because in septemberSeptember the two little lemurs were going to be sold! This made me so sad :( This adorable family was going to be separated, the toughtthought that this family was almost more of a family then a human family,baffled me. When I left their home I couldnt help but feel bad for the mother and father.

Why might owning an exotic pet be good or bad-

GOOD-It's good because the pet lives longer and may like human companushipcompanionship.

BAD- It's bad because the animal is not in its natural habitatehabitat and its a wild animal and at any moment could do something violent.

I think it should become harder to get exotic animals and someone should come to the place where the animal is going to stay to make sure the animal is safe and happier.
