Books
A book is my clever teacher
And my best friend.
If I want to learn something
I open it and it always tells.
If I want to grow a flower
And I don't know what how and when,
I open a book, read it
And start doing it then.
A book is the source of knowledge.
One famous writer said:
“You'll be the cleverest man on earth
After many books are read.”

Let me burn like you...
Oh! Burning candle,
Let me burn like you.
Oh! Burning candle that lightens the world,
Let me light the world like you.
Oh! Burning candle that melts to light the life of others,
Let me melt like you for the welfare of others.
Oh! Burning candle that inspires me,
Let me inspire others like you.
Oh! Burning candle that shares a small part in the great deed of
brightening the world,
Let me share such a part in the great deed of brightening the world with
love, like you.
Oh! Burning candle, lightening the world, brightening it; always
burning, inspiring me;
Let me do deeds like you,
Let me burn like you.
