WESAK
Once there was a king
called Sudhdodana and
a queen named Maha
Maya. They lived in India
in a place called
Dabadiwa. When the
queen was pregnant she
dreamed of a white ele-
phant bringing her a
water lily. The queen told the king about the
dream. The king asked a wise man why the
queen had that dream. He said "the queen will
give birth to a boy who will be famous".
One day the queen went to her mum's house
and on her way she saw a Sal garden. It's
name was Lumbini Sal Uyana. The queen went
into the garden to look at the Sal flowers. Then
she was in pain. Then she gave birth to a baby
boy. They were 7 Sal flowers on the ground the
baby boy stood up and walked on the 7 flowers.
He walked 7 steps and then he said "I will be
the greatest in the whole world".
The queen passed away 7 days after the birth
of the prince. The prince was looked after by
his stepmother. The king and new queen
Prajapathi could not think of a name for the
prince. They went a wise man and showed him
the prince. The prince put his feet on the wise
man's head. The wise man said "this means he
will be a very special person to the world and
his name should be "Sidhartha".
Now the prince is bigger and is married to
princess Yasodara. The prince goes on after-
noon walk. One day he sees an old man. The
next day he sees a sick man. The next day he
sees a body of a dead man. The next day he
sees a monk. Then he felt he had enough of
being a prince and wanted be a monk instead.
He went to the palace and looked at his wife
and new born son for the last time. He went to
the jungle and became a monk.
He spent a few years meditating and finally
realized how we can find the peace in our life.
We called it enlightenment. Now the prince is
enlightened and we call him "Buddha".
Buddha travels around India to teach people
and came to Sri Lanka 3 times. The people
who believe in Buddha's teaching are
Buddhist. When Buddha was 80 years old he
passed away.
The day the Buddha was born, enlightened
and passed away are full moon days of the
month May. The Buddhist celebrates the birth,
enlightenment and death of Buddha on a full
moon day in May known as Vesak Day.
Full moon day comes every 28 days in our cal-
endar.  So Vesak Day comes in a different
days of May in every year.  In 2007 Vesak day
is on the first of May and you know it is very
special for me this year.  IT IS MY BIRTHDAY.

Walking School Bus
Every Wednesday morning I wake up about 6:00 am. Then I
wash, eat my breakfast and get dressed. I go to Robertson
Park at 8:00 in the morning to join the Walking School Bus.
There is another one at Jack Cook Park too. But Robertson
Park is closer to me. My Mum, two brothers and I always
get there first because my Mum is a volunteer Walking
School Bus leader. So we have to be there first. We wait till
the others come. When one child comes, the parent signs
them up for the walking school bus. When we are there we
put on our bright vests and we line up in twos and start
walking to school. The leader reminds us when he blows the
whistle twice to go and one to stop. It takes us about 20
minutes from the park to school. 
While we walk we get exercise and get to know new people.
I already have made some new friends. When we get to
school the oldest child goes up to the office and asks some-
one to check us out. After we are called out we can go put
our bags away and play until the bell goes to start school.
The main rule in the walking school bus is when we get to
the crossing you stop, look and listen. WE HAVE FUN!
Around my school there is alot of traffic. So there will be
less traffic around the school when you join the walking
school bus.
You too can think about having a Walking school bus.
