Some wisdom we could have learned as a child… but didn’t. But it is never late…
I came to America as an adult, and missed most of these animated movies… can you identify them for me? Please?
Also, if you have a good quote, wisdom, for life, from a children’s movie, a fairy tale, a cartoon, a fantasy movie, a book, please post it… I’d love to have a collection from my readers… and maybe create some illustrations for it. That would be really cool, right? Thank you in advance.
nice, Matsa, thank you
Some pearls from kids’ mouth – excerpts from the book “The pencil writes with heart” (literal translation). The book is a collection of children’s answers to different questions in a Serbian research conducted in the late 1960’s.
PENCIL AND FOUNTAIN PEN
-They are not same, a fountain pen is better because it doesn’t need sharpening, and when you sharpen a pencil you can cut your fingers.
WHY IS PENCIL BETTER THAN FOUNTAIN PEN?
-A pencil is much better because when you break it you get two pencils, and when you break a fountain pen you get a beating.
-A fountain pen writes with ink while the pencil writes with heart (which is used as a name of the book).
A PLANE AND A CAR
-A plane can even fly upside down, but a car crashes right away.
They are different by the road map.
THEY ARE NOT SAME
-A plane has an engine in the sky, and car has it on the ground.
-Because a traffic policeman cannot stand in the sky.
-When you watch a plane your neck hurts, but cars are nice for watching.
A PLANE AND A BIRD
-A bird is born, but a plane must be made.
-A plane sings ‘thickly’ while a bird sings ‘thinly’ (literal translation)
-We don’t pour gas (petrol) in the bird, it flies on its own
-Sparrow eats wheat, but a plane can’t.
-A bird can be eaten by a cat but a plane cannot.
FUGITIVE
-It’s me when I stole strawberries and afterward I was fugitive
HOW DOES ONE BECOME A FUGITIVE
-When you’re going forward and you’re going all fast-like and everybody’s shouting “get him”.
FISH OIL
-I don’t want to tell you anything because it’s not nice question.
BIRTHDAY
-Birthday is a day for being born.
-For a birthday, they make a cake for you to eat with candles, but guests like it a lot and there’s little left for you.
-For your birthday they give you something because they pulled your ears.
thank you Trish
