But she does like to 'dictate' to me some of her blog entries. Kindly visit http://rizagoa.blogspot.com and leave your comments behind. She is specially thrilled when children from other areas leave some comments on what she writes (as would anyone else, I guess). She was thrilled when Colin (8yrs) wrote in from Australia, in response to a post about a circus she had visited in Mapusa. While I egg her on with questions and suggested topics, I try to retain her language... and sometimes the cute "errors" and thought-patterns that creep in from an almost eight-year-old's perspective. FN A visit to Colvale My father told me that Colvale is the last village of Bardez before you reach Pernem. We went to a church in the village, which is near the riverside. We saw some crabs, and my brother was screaming because he was very happy, like a little imp. Colvale is a nice riverside village, where you can play and all. We bought some nice 'chakli' from Colvale and we liked it very much. We went to a quiet side and saw a boat. There was a long stick. It was a big one but didn't look hard at all. My brother was breaking some pieces of the stick and throwing it in the water. He was having such good fun at Colvale. We left at 6.30 and reached at 7 o'clock sharp. Then we went to Florentine and got some chicken cafreal. My brother was very happy. But the chicken was very spicy. Me and my mama ate the chicken, but it was too spicy for my brother. If any of you want to go to Colvale, you'll might a very good time there. * * * * * The beautiful fields in Goa [PHOTO: Fields in Goa] We have many fields in Goa, in front of people's houses. Fields are very important. Children go in the water, and some children play in the water. In the monsoon season, they also get baby fishes and snails. The children collect it. The children love the fields. For big people it also has a use. The big people grow their paddy. And the big people also collect snails to eat. A field is very important. In front of house, there is a field. The dogs run and play in it. I will name three dogs -- Pretinho, Blacky and Sultan. In the evening or afternoon, they run in the field and play. They must be running in the morning also, but I never see them because I'm at school. That's why fields are so important. The ending of my story: the fields of Goa are so beautiful and you can get good value from them.Like good-value toys. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Frederick Noronha http://fn.goa-india.org 9822122436 +91-832-240-9490 4000+ copylefted photos to share from Goa http://www.flickr.com/photos/fn-goa/ _______________________________________________ Goanet mailing list Goanet@lists.goanet.org http://lists.goanet.org/listinfo.cgi/goanet-goanet.org
