The Winter's Tale

Let's Read one more interesting Story summarised by Merry Lamb and Charles Lamb from The William Shakespeare's Play The Winter's Tale. Leontes, king of Sicily, and his queen, the beautiful and virtuous Hermione, once lived in the greatest harmony together. So happy was Leontes in the love of this excellent lady, that he had no wish ungratified, except that he sometimes desired to see againagain, and to present to his queen, his old companion and school-fellow, Polixenes, king of Bohemia. Leontes and Polixenes were brought up together from their infancy, but being, by the death of their fathers, called to reign over their respective kingdoms, they had not met for many years, though they frequently interchanged gifts, letters, and loving embassies. At length, after repeated invitations, Polixenes came from Bohemia to the Sicilian court, to make his friend Leontes a visit. At first this visit gave nothing but pleasure to Leontes.He recommended th

What if we don't have Nuclear bomb and electricity. What if humans are also living in the way few extinct species are living. Really! Can we afford to live like that? No no!

Finally, we accomplished reading the first part of the story! Puck did a blunder! Let's see the consequences in the second part of the story.  If you want to read the first part of the story please follow the link mentioned below. tsfrommohitsingh.blogspot.in/2017/01/a-midsummer-nights-dream-fromcharles.html Had he first seen Hermia when he awoke, the blunder Puck committed would have been of no consequence, for he could not love that faithful lady too well; but for poor Lysander to be forced by a fairy love-charm to forget his own true Hermia, and to run after another lady, and leave Hermia asleep quite alone in a wood at midnight, was a sad chance indeed. Thus this misfortune happened. Helena, as has been before related, endeavoured to keep pace with Demetrius when he ran away so rudely from her; but she could not continue this unequal race long, men being always better runners in a long race than ladies. Helena soon lost sight of Demetrius; and as she was w
