I generally travel by train or bus. It is both cheaper and safer. But this was a short journey. At the beginning, I didn't feel very happy. This feeling didn't last long. This trip was very exciting. I was soon high up in the sky among the clouds. The view of mountains, fields, and rivers was interesting and unusual. I enjoyed my short and comfortable journey very much.Music Lyrics:Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa - I'll Take Care Of YouI know you've been hurtBy someone elseI can tell by the wayYou carry yourselfBut if you'll let meHere's what I'll doI'll take care of youI, I loved and lostThe same as youSo you see I knowJust what you've been throughAnd if you'll let meHere's what I'll doI just have got to take care of youYou won't ever have to worryYou don't ever have to cryI'll be there beside youTo dry your weeping eyesSo darlin' tell meThat you'll be true'Cause there's no doubt in my mindI know what I want to doAnd just as sureOne and one is twoI just got, I got to take care of youI just got to take care of youTake care of youSource: Musixmatch
Story text:An artist went to a beautiful part of the country for a holiday and stayed with a farmer. Every day he went out with his paints and his brushes and painted from morning to evening, and then when it got dark, he went back to the farm and had a good dinner before he went to bed.At the end of his holiday, he wanted to pay the farmer, but the farmer said, 'no, I do not want money - but give me one of your pictures. What is money? In a week it will all be finished, but your painting will still be here.'The artist was very pleased and thanked the farmer for saying such kind things about his paintings.The farmer smiled and answered, 'It is not that. I have a son in London. He wants to become an artist. When he comes here next month, I will show him your picture, and then he will not want to be an artist any more, I think.'PS: Dedicated to the loved ones who accompanied us on this journey despite the imperfections, especially dear 'Sima Nouri'

The day has come my friend 'Cause this is war It's time and this is war War Light another wick Better make it quick We ain't got a lot of time 'Cause the powers that be Don't want us free So they gotta dull our shine But when the dust settles in They're gonna pays for their sins I've made up my mind Gotta stand side by side As we drag all the lies To the tables for sacrifice It's time and this is war It's time and this is war War @GreatEnglishStories
