A Picture Description


In the picture we can see two girls. They are standing in the midddle of the field and somebody is taking photo of them. I think that it can be their friend. I think the girls are 15-17 years old. One girl who is on the left has long wavy fair hair. She is wearing a beautiful lilac dress and a violet cardigan. She is smiling and I think she is happy. I think that the girl who is on the right is happy, too although I don't see her face. This girl has long wavy brown hair. She is wearing a light blue shirt and dark trousers.
In the background I can see many trees and some houses, so I think that there is a small village. In the sky I can see a flock of birds. The weather is good. It is sunny and warm but a little bit windy.

A Picture Description


In the picture we can see two children and a woman. They are in the room and I think they are in the kindergarten because the kids in the picture are 4-5 years old and they are having a lesson. And in my opinion the woman is their teacher. All they are wearing casual and comfortable clothes.
On the walls and the windows we can see different colourful glued pictures.I think that children and the woman are having a music lesson because the children in the pictue are playing the tambourines and their teacher is claping them.
I think that they are happy because they are smiling and having fun together.

The Narcissus Myth


Narcissus, the son of the river god Cephissus and the nymph Leiriope, was an extremely good-looking Greek youth. His beauty ultimately led to his death. A prophet named Tiresias told Leiriope that her son would enjoy a long life as long as he never knew himself or saw his reflection. Although Leiriope did not understand the prophecy at the time, its meaning eventually became clear.
Narcissus was so handsome that many women and men fell in love with him. He rejected all of them.
One day when Narcissus was out hunting, Echo follows the handsome youth through the woods, longing to address him but unable to speak first. When Narcissus finally heard her footsteps he shouted "Who goes there?" Echo answered "...goes there? ...goes there?" And so it went, until finally Echo showed herself and rushed to embrace Narcissus. He pulled away and vainly told her to leave him alone. Narcissus left Echo heartbroken and she spent the rest of her life lonely and pining away for the love she never knew. Only her voice remained.
Eventually Narcissus became thirsty and went to drink from a stream. As he saw his reflection, he fell in love with it, not knowing that it was him. As he bent down to kiss it, it seemed to "run away" and he was heartbroken. He grew thirstier but he wouldn't touch the water for fear of damaging his reflection, so he eventually died of thirst and staring at his own reflection. The narcissus flower is closely identified with the boy and was said to spring from the ground around the pool where Narcissus died. In the roman version it is suggested that Narcissus is transformed into the flower.
