Three young women are at a thingytail party. The conversation turns to their position in life and it's clear that they are trying to one-up each other.
The first one says, "My husband is taking me to the French Riviera for two weeks on vacation," and then looks at the others with a superior demeanor.
The second one says, "Well, my husband just bought me a new Mercedes," and looks about with considerable pride.
Number three says, "Well, to be perfectly honest with you, we don't have much money and we don't have any material possessions. However, one thing I can tell you about my husband is that thirteen canaries can stand shoulder to shoulder on his erect thingy."
After this, the first one looks shamefaced and says, "Girls, I've got a confession to make. I was just trying to impress you. You know that vacation I was telling you about? Well, it's not to the French Riviera, it's to my parents house for two weeks."
The second one says, "Your honesty has shamed me. It's not a Mercedes, he bought me a Plymouth."
"Well," the third one says, "I also have a confession to make, canary number thirteen has to stand on one leg!"

Peter was a clever boy. On his first day at school, he learned three words: 1, You and She. The teacher taught him how to make sentences with those words. The teacher said," I, I am your teacher; (then pointing to a girl) She, She is your classmate; You, You are my student.
¡¡¡¡When Peter went home, his father asked him what he had learned at school. Peter said at once, " I, I am your teacher; (then pointing to his mother) She, She is your classmate; You, You are my student His father got angry and said, "I, I am your father; (then pointing to his wife) She, She is your mother; You, You are my son.
¡¡¡¡The next morning at school, the teacher asked Peter if he had learned the three words by heart. "Yes," he said proudly, "I, I am your father; (then pointing to a girl) She, She is your mother; You, You are my son."

Kuroi dipped her head in greeting. "My name is Kuroi. It means black. I am herdless and I was roaming for a while. I am terribly sorry to intrude on you and your colts." Turning to the stallion, she said, "I hope you can forgive me for tresspassing on your territory. I didn't mean any harm, and, as I said, I have no herd following me."
She looked at the bay colt, Castano, and thought about how much he reminded her of the colts from her former herd. If only she had been able to stay there long enough to really get to know one of them. Maybe she would be able to get to know one of these colts.
As she thought to herself, unknowingly, she thingyed her head slightly to one side so that it looked more like she was sizing up the colt. With a snort, she tossed her head and turned to leave. She would never be close to any horse, especially not a male. Was it not her own father who had driven her away?

{Azula. the mare was startled by the company of the mare and skittered before collecting herself and snorted softly. the colt at her side snorted and tossed a buck before hiding behind his mother. he whinnied worriedly at his brother.
the bay colt snorted and bobbed his head, moving to the side as the mare passed, and trotting after her, then passing and residing at azula's side. azula snorted and nuzzled the two colts that were at her side. she stepped towards the stud and gently nudged him before smiling at the mare.
"hello. i am azula. the bay colt is castano and the little one is naranja." she said motioning to the two colts who were now rearing and playing together. soon their activity died down and they walked over and nursed.

Kuroi's ears flew back instantly as the colt approached her all too quickly. She was startled, but she didn't want to harm him. So she bowed her head and stepped past him, revealing herself to the mare and the stallion. "Forgive me," she said. "I didn't mean to intrude. I was just so fascinated with the little ones. I couldn't tear myself away." In fact, she was remember ing a colt she had been drawn to in her herd before she was forced out. She kept her eyes down, trying to seem as polite as possible.

{Azula. The mare snorted softly and nudged the colt with a gentle smile. She hoisted herself up and shook off, nuzzling the colts who now stood by her side. "i dont know. he left once he found out i was pregnant." she said with a soft sigh. the bay colt snorted and bobbed his head before letting out a piercing cry to the horse that he had seen in the woods. he picked up his feet and stumbled forewards to look at her. he bobbed his head and looked back at his mother from between his legs before tossing a buck and letting his long legs carry him over to her. he stretched out his neck and let his ears perk forewards at the new creature before him.
Mrs. Liu was a peasant. The driver of the BMW, Su Xiuwen, is the wife of a businessman. The initial scrape was minor, but after a confrontation, Mrs. Su drove the car into Mrs. Liu.
And that would have ended it, except for two things. First, the "BMW case" tapped into sharp class resentments emerging in this Communist country, which long espoused a classless society. And second, that anger was able to coalesce in what is becoming an increasingly influential court of appeals in China: the Internet, which boiled with online outrage.
This week, in a rare step, officials here announced an investigation into possible judicial corruption in the case, state media reported. There is already speculation that Mrs. Su could face a harsher verdict, a result that would appease the online critics but could also set an uneasy precedent for reformers trying to establish a genuine rule of law in China.
That yawning gap is a fundamental contradiction of China's economic boom. Wealth is pouring in, swelling the middle class, yet hundreds of millions still live in poverty.
Here in the northeast, once the country's industrial center but now mired in unemployment, it is not hard to find class bitterness rubbed raw by the case. "We ordinary people have to obey the laws," said a taxi driver. Mrs. Su, he said, does not: "She has the power. She has the privilege. She can drive wildly."
Initially, the accident barely attracted attention outside Harbin.
Then, after bystanders intervened, she returned to the car, apparently to back up. But she unexpectedly drove forward, crushing Mrs. Liu and injuring several others. The car crashed to a halt against a tree.
"My wife was dragged for six or seven meters," Mr. Dai said. He said he tried to lift her right arm but it was broken. He saw blood coming out of her mouth. "People said she was already dead," he recalled. "I was just dumbfounded."
The question at trial was whether Mrs. Su had intentionally tried to harm Mrs. Liu or had simply mistakenly put the car into first gear instead of reverse. The trial was notable for its lack of eyewitnesses, though many saw the incident.
One of them was Mr. Dai, who said he had received almost $10,000, roughly eight years' wages. He said he did not even attend the trial. "I just want peace for my family," a weary Mr. Dai said as one of his two daughters listened. "I don't care about the verdict and whether it is justice or not."
But China's "netcitizens" cared very much. Editors at Sina.com, the country's most popular Web site, said that after the verdict, more than 200,000 messages were posted to chat rooms, many suggesting corruption was to blame.

Kuroi was silent as she peered between the thick branches, her breath hastening as not one, but two foals were birthed in front of her. She had never witnessed birth of a foal, let alone twins. This was all so new to her. She had never had a mother to show her the ways of a well-brought-up mare, nor had her father shown her the ways of the herd. Maybe that was why her father had had her chased out of her own herd. Or was it because he thought she was strange not to have anyone caring for her? Well, that wasn't important any more. She was on her own now, but that might not be the case for long. As she continued to watch, the stallion stood stock-still as the mare began caring for her two new foals. Would she ever experience that tender love a mother has for her child? She wasn't sure, but she continued to look, trying to keep as still as she could, although her ears kept flicking back and forth because she swore she could hear something behind her.
