I wanna eat strawberys

"But its just like any other pencil ive seen.."

"That depends on how you look at it.It has five qualities which, if you manage to hang on to them, will make you a person who is always at piece with the world.."

First quality: you are capable of good things, but you must never forget that there is a hand guiding your steps. We call that hand God, and He always guides us according to His will..

Second quality:now and then I have to stop writing and use sharpeners. That makes the pencil suffer a little, but afterwards, he's much sharper. So you, too, must learn to bear pains and sorrows, because they will make you a better person.

Third quality :the pencil always allows us to use an eraser to rub out mistakes. This means that correcting something we did is not necessarily a bad thing; it helps to keep us on the road to justice.

Fourth quality :what really matters in a pencil is not its wooden exterior, but the graphite inside. So always pay attention to what is happening inside you.

Finally the pencil's fifth quality : it always leaves a mark. In just the same way , you should know that every thing you do in life will leave a mark, so try to be counscious of that in your every action.."
