5. Puppet wanna become a human.

Many years ago, there was a city small and beautiful, a puppet was born. The person who created it wanted it perfectly front others so he gave it the most beautiful things belonging to women. Yeah, the puppet had the shape of a woman. I had long black hair, big sweet eyes, cute lips always smiling, And, the name of it was… Okay, no one knew its name and it’s also not important.
The puppet went with performers to everywhere to perform. It was loved and called by other name whenever it came to another place. It didn’t know it had gone to how many places and gotten how many names but it’s only thing which never changed that it was always greeted and loved.
One night, the puppet had a dream. That’s a strange dream. It met a kind God in its dream.
“You have been doing good your job. You can become human. Do you want be a human puppet?” said the God.
“I want be a human God”, said the puppet.
“Let people call your real name and it’s …”, said the God, “Just one person who call your name and love the name, you will become a human right away”.
“That’s an ugly name, God”, said the puppet, “People will never call it. Why don’t you give another name”.
“The names are named by the fate, not me”, said the God before disappeared.
Years had gone the puppet still did good its roles. It smiled. It cried. It moved under ropes. It made friend with other puppets and including people. They were normal friends and including best friends. Though, no one of them knew its real name. The desire wanting to be a human still existed inside it.
One day, it decided to tell people its real name it couldn’t wait any more. The first person the puppet wanted to share its name was a girl, an ice cream seller who had been its best friend for one year.  
“We have been friend for one year”, said the puppet, “but I have never told you my real name. I want you know it.”
Though she felt a little surprise but she’s still willing to hear the name.
“My friend” she said giving the puppet a kind smile, “I’m hearing. Let me know your name”.
“I can’t”, the puppet hesitated, “It’s so ugly”
“Don’t worry my friend. Though it’s ugly it’s still your name and you are my friend, the best friend. I will love your name as like I love you”, she said.
The puppet stared at its friend for a while. Then, it approached her whispered into her ear.
“My name is …”, it said.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAA”, screamed the girl. She was frightened. Her face turned pale and nearly fainted. Seconds later, the expression of scare still existed, sweat drops downing on her face.
From that time, the girl dodged away the puppet. She didn’t talk to the puppet any more and badly she thought the puppet was monster. The puppet felt very sad, very very sad but it did give up it didn’t wanna be a puppet and lived the puppet’s life any more. It wanna be a human and did what human did.
One day, it met cowherd boy who had been its friend for five years.
“Cowboy we have been friend for five years but you have never known my name”, said the puppet, “Do you want to know it?”
“Yes, I want”, said the cowherd boy quickly though he had a little surprise, “I’m your friend so it’s so lucky to know your name.”
“But”, the puppet hesitated, “It’s so ugly”.
“Don’t worry about that. Though it’s ugly, I’m still your friend.”
“My name is …” the puppet whispered into the cowboy’s ear.
The cowboy didn’t say anything from that time. Then as like the girl selling ice cream he dodged away it. Another time it was considered as a monster. It felt very sad, sadder more than the first time.
“Don’t tell them your name any more”, said the other puppet, “They all will leave you and scorn you”.
“You can not become a human”, said another puppet.
Though other puppet advised it, the puppet didn’t stop his wish because it felt lonely it wanted others called its name. It wanted people loved its name as like they loved it. And the most important thing that’s it wanted to be a human.
It met the person who created it.
“Father, you created me, you gave me this body, this long hair and those nice eyes. All I have now were given by you. You take care of me and also give me roles. I want to say thank”, said the puppet, “By all my gratefulness I want you to know my real name, father”
“Real name”, said the man surprisingly, “It’s not the name I gave you. It’s not…”
“It’s not, father,” said the puppet sadly, “My real name was named by the fate not you father”
“So what’s the name the fate gave you, my child?” the man frowned.
“It’s so ugly father. It will make you scared and leave me”, squeak the puppet. It nearly cried.
“How much it’s ugly, I still you father, right?” said the man, “I still love you and never leave you alone. You are worthy to people call you by your real name.”
The puppet looked the man, its father few minutes then it whispered into his ear.
“My name is …”, said the puppet.
After hearing the name, his heart beat faster than ever. His eyes turned dark. He fainted. After he was cured and rested for a long time, his health got normal. However, he didn’t want to see the puppet again. Though, he still loved and remembered it. He didn’t accept he had created the puppet and was considered it as a monster.   
The puppet felt very sad it sunk into its very bad mood. It left. It went with other puppets and performers. It still performed roles, did them the best. Everywhere it went to, people still loved it and called it by the name they named it but no one of them knew its real name, the name the fate had given it. It didn’t want any person to know that ugly name.
Yes, it still lived and performed but something inside it had vanished. Do you think it have heart? I mean it heart had been broken with its wish becoming a human. Now, in somewhere in the world there still have puppets like that which smile by the face people make up for it, perform the roles people give it and sometime it also creates a role for it to perform but there are not real things it want. Its real name is not called forever and its wish also is broken forever. It keeps the voice inside it silent forever. Hope someone who can calls its name and loves it

Bài 14: Danh từ đếm được số ít và số nhiều và quy tắc thêm chuyển từ danh từ đếm được số ít sang số nhiều.

      Như chúng ta đã biết danh từ thường phân thành nhiều loại nhưng về mặt ngữ pháp bạn chỉ cần biết danh từ gồm hai loại: danh từ đếm được và danh từ không đếm được. Về cơ bản mình sẽ nói qua một chút về danh từ đếm được và danh từ không đếm được vì bài này chủ yếu xoay quanh danh từ đếm được. Về bản chất danh từ đếm được là những từ bạn có thể kiểm soát nó bằng mặt số lượng tức là bạn có thể đếm 1, 2, 3 cái gì đó và nó có sự phân biệt giữa số ít (một) và số nhiều (hơn một) của loại từ này trong ngữ pháp của câu. Ví dụ: I have  bananas và  I have  a banana  có sự khác biệt rõ ràng, bạn có nhận thất mạo từ  “a”  ở trước banana không? Thêm nữa Bananas  are  yellow và a banana  is  yellow bạn có nhận thấy động từ đi kèm có sự khác biệt không; danh từ số nhiều sẽ tương đương vói ư chỉ ngữ they và danh từ số ít sẽ tương đương vói it. Cơ bản là thế. Còn về danh không đếm được thì bạn phải cân, đo, đong như những thứ thuộc chất lỏng, chất rắn, hạt, hay những danh từ mang tính trừu tượn
