The Fascinating Aurora
Aurora is a light ray which occurs in the ionosphere layer of a planet. It is really famous for its striking colours and beautiful shapes. This phenomenon could happens because of the interaction between a planet's magnetic field and charged particles from the sun.
On earth, aurora could be seen in the north pole (known as Aurora Borealis) and in the south pole (known as Aurora Australis). Sometimes, aurora also appears at the peak of tropical mountains.
When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces, and they all went skipping about. And that was the beginning of fairies.

Character building begins in our infancy, and continues until death.
I like dreams of the future better than the history of the past.
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.

The Inspiration Behind The Story of Peter Pan

James Barrie was from Scotland and the youngest of ten children. The eldest child, David, was the hope of their parents. It was David that was going to make them proud, he was going to go to the prestigious university and make something of himself. However, David’s life was cut short in a skating accident when James was six years old. Their mother never recovered from the incident sinking into a deep depression. It was at this young age that James decided that he was going to fulfill the dreams of his parents for David. James did everything that he had set out to do; he became a journalist and a well-known playwright. A short man by many accounts and a childlike demeanor attracted children to him. James was able to entertain the children of many of his friends who were quite fond of him. It was from these games that he played that the story of Peter Pan was born.
Since you get more joy out of giving joy to others, you should put a good deal of thought into the happiness that you are able to give.
