    Interactive Notebook Printables 3rd Grade Unit 6 The Tale of Custard The Dragon by Ogden Nash The pirate gaped at Belinda's dragon, And gulped some grog from his pocket flagon, Belinda lived in a little white house, He fired two bullets but they didn't hit, With a little black kitten and a little gray mouse, And Custard gobbled him, every bit. And a little yellow dog and a little red wagon, And a realio, trulio, little pet dragon. Belinda embraced him, Mustard licked him, 45 No one mourned for his pirate victim Now the name of the little black kitten was Ink, 5 Ink and Blink in glee did gyrate And the little gray mouse, she called her Blink, Around the dragon that ate the pyrate. And the little yellow dog was sharp as Mustard, But the dragon was a coward, and she called him But presently up spoke little dog Mustard, Custard. I'd been twice as brave if I hadn't been flustered.50 And up spoke Ink and up spoke Blink, Custard the dragon had big sharp teeth, We'd have been three times as brave, we think, And spikes on top of him and scales underneath, 10 And Custard said, I quite agree Mouth like a fireplace, chimney for a nose, That everybody is braver than me. And realio, trulio, daggers on his toes. Belinda still lives in her little white house, 55 Belinda was as brave as a barrel full of bears, With her little black kitten and her little gray mouse, And Ink and Blink chased lions down the stairs, And her little yellow dog and her little red wagon, Mustard was as brave as a tiger in a rage, 15 And her realio, trulio, little pet dragon.

  • LOVE ETERNAL by H
    1 LOVE ETERNAL by H. RIDER HAGGARD TO THE REV. PHILIP T. BAINBRIDGE Vicar of St. Thomas' Regent Street, London You, whose privilege it is by instruction and example to strengthen the weak hands and confirm the feeble knees of many, may perhaps care to read of one whose human love led her from darkness into light and on to the gates of the Love Eternal. CHAPTER I HONEST JOHN More than thirty years ago two atoms of the eternal Energy sped forth from the heart of it which we call God, and incarnated themselves in the human shapes that were destined to hold them for a while, as vases hold perfumes, or goblets wine, or as sparks of everlasting radium inhabit the bowels of the rock. Perhaps these two atoms, or essences, or monads indestructible, did but repeat an adventure, or many, many adventures. Perhaps again and again they had proceeded from that Home august and imperishable on certain mornings of the days of Time, to return thither at noon or nightfall, laden with the fruits of gained experience. So at least one of them seemed to tell the other before all was done and that other came to believe. If so, over what fields did they roam throughout the æons, they who having no end, could have no beginning? Not those of this world only, we may be sure. It is so small and there are so many others, millions upon millions of them, and such an infinite variety of knowledge is needed to shape the soul of man, even though it remain as yet imperfect and but a shadow of what it shall be.

  • Introduction This Exhibition Celebrates the Spectacular Artistic Tradition
    Introduction This exhibition celebrates the spectacular artistic tradition inspired by The Tale of Genji, a monument of world literature created in the early eleventh century, and traces the evolution and reception of its imagery through the following ten centuries. The author, the noblewoman Murasaki Shikibu, centered her narrative on the “radiant Genji” (hikaru Genji), the son of an emperor who is demoted to commoner status and is therefore disqualified from ever ascending the throne. With an insatiable desire to recover his lost standing, Genji seeks out countless amorous encounters with women who might help him revive his imperial lineage. Readers have long reveled in the amusing accounts of Genji’s romantic liaisons and in the dazzling descriptions of the courtly splendor of the Heian period (794–1185). The tale has been equally appreciated, however, as social and political commentary, aesthetic theory, Buddhist philosophy, a behavioral guide, and a source of insight into human nature. Offering much more than romance, The Tale of Genji proved meaningful not only for men and women of the aristocracy but also for Buddhist adherents and institutions, military leaders and their families, and merchants and townspeople. The galleries that follow present the full spectrum of Genji-related works of art created for diverse patrons by the most accomplished Japanese artists of the past millennium. The exhibition also sheds new light on the tale’s author and her female characters, and on the women readers, artists, calligraphers, and commentators who played a crucial role in ensuring the continued relevance of this classic text. The manuscripts, paintings, calligraphy, and decorative arts on display demonstrate sophisticated and surprising interpretations of the story that promise to enrich our understanding of Murasaki’s tale today.

  • Butterfly Tip Sheet
    BUTTERFLY TIP SHEET STARTING THE PROGRAM •It will take approximately 4 weeks to transform from larvae to butterfly. •Each larva is housed in its own little container. •Keep the lids on at all times (until chrysalis is formed). •Make sure that the containers are standing upright at all times. (DO NOT TURN UPSIDE DOWN) •Keep the containers out of the sunlight, and also out of the path of air vents. •The suggested room temperature is 68⁰ to 75⁰. •Each container has enough food and air for the larvae, until it forms its chrysalis. FORMING CHRYSALIDES •The larvae will grow to be about 1 inch long and look like a fuzzy black caterpillar. •In 7-10 days depending on the temperature, the larvae should form a chrysalis. (Faster in warm weather, slower in cool) •The larvae will attach itself to the lid of the container by its tail and hang upside down for about 24 hours. During this time the larvae will start to spin its chrysalis. AFTER CHRYSALIS FORMATION •Once the chrysalis has formed, it should take another 7-10 days for the Painted Lady Butterfly to emerge. (Again this depends on the weather) •After the chrysalides have been hanging in the container for 2-3 days, the teacher will GENTLY remove the lid with the chrysalis attached, and then tape it on one of the lower branches, or to the base of the branch. You can also attach the lid to the cage by using a binder clip or Velcro, attaching it on the outside of the cage. •Please do not cut the screen of the cage.

  • The Tale of Custard the Dragon. Belinda Lived in a Little White House
    The Tale of Custard the Dragon. But up jumped Custard, snorting like an engine, Clashed his tail like irons in a dungeon, Belinda lived in a little white house, With a clatter and a clank and a jangling squirm With a little black kitten and a little grey mouse, He went at the pirate like a robin at a worm. And a little yellow dog and a little red wagon, And a realio, trulio, little pet dragon. The pirate gaped at Belinda's dragon, And gulped some grog from his pocket flagon, Now the name of the little black kitten was Ink, He fired two bullets but they didn't hit, And the little grey mouse, she called her Blink, And Custard gobbled him, every bit. And the little yellow dog was sharp as Mustard, But the dragon was a coward, and she called him Belinda embraced him, Mustard licked him, Custard. No one mourned for his pirate victim Ink and Blink in glee did gyrate Custard the dragon had big sharp teeth, Around the dragon that ate the pyrate. And spikes on top of him and scales underneath, Mouth like a fireplace, chimney for a nose, Belinda still lives in her little white house, And realio, trulio, daggers on his toes. With her little black kitten and her little grey mouse, And her little yellow dog and her little red wagon, Belinda was as brave as a barrel full of bears, And her realio, trulio, little pet dragon. And Ink and Blink chased lions down the stairs, Mustard was as brave as a tiger in a rage, Belinda is as brave as a barrel full of bears, But Custard cried for a nice safe cage.
