THE LAKE OF THE NIGHT The oars creaked as the tiny rowboat skimmed over the glassy water, its wake making the faintest ripples on the calm surface. It couldn ' t have been more than five o ' clock as a trace of night still remained and the mist of the summer night lingered. Somewhere a loon called to its mate, and nearby a silvery fish jumped. The boy in the boat glanced eagerly at the fishing rod trailing over the stern, but to no avail. The mist began to lift, bit by bit, until a slight glow on the horizon was visible. The islands in the distance began to take form in the early morning light, their towering pines silhouetted against a pale sky. Slowly the trees on the shore showed their reflections in the waveless water. Below him, the boy could distinguish the rocks of the reef, their sinister snags darker than the murky water. But they were far below the boat, and this was where the fish hid. A light breeze arose, blowing away the last wisps of hovering mist. Ripples scurried across the lake ' s surface, changing the ' lake of the night ' to the ' lake of the day ' . Wind Angry gods raging. Running races with themselves. Singing songs of fear. Thought Tangled masses of Woven threads spun to cocoons Coming butterflies. Sunrise The world wakes from sleep Sprays its rays of gladness for One more day of life.

THE POOR MAN AND THE DEATH A FABLE He woke up every morning, Without food to give to his family. He never found work to do; No work, no money. He prayed God every day to help him. But that was nothing at all. Finally he was tired of life. And he called the Death. So the Death came, And told the man to come with him. The man was crying; He didn ' t want to go; And he said to Death, Please let me live. I won ' t call you any more. But the Death was already in his way. And took the poor man with him. Oh, how he had called the Death everyday. And when the Death arrived. He refused to go. All decisions have to be made With thinking before. Jocelyne Menard Form V B 19
