They walked around on all fours, like wild animals, so their palms weren‟ t exposed to the
sun, which made the rest of their bodies darker and darker.
Father Cristiano
It was like that because they always went about their hands folded together,
praying in secret.
Dona Dores
God made their hands like that so they wouldn‟ t dirty the food that they made
for their masters, or anything else that they were ordered to do that had to be
kept
quite clean.
Senhor Antunes
Long ago, many years ago, God, our Lord Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary, St. Peter,
many other saints, all the angels were in heaven then, and some of the people
who had died and gone to Heaven- they all had a meeting and decided to make
blacks. They got hold of some clay and pressed it into
some second- hand moulds. And to bake them of the creatures, they took them
to heavenly kilns. Because they were in a hurry and there was no room next to the
fire, they hung them in the chimneys. Smoke, smoke, smoke- and there you have
them, black as coals. Their hands stayed white because their hands are tied.
Senhor Frias
God finished making men and told them to bathe in a lake in heaven. After
bathing, the people were nice and white. The blacks, well, they were made very early in
the morning, and at this hour the water in the lake was very cold, so they only wet the

Dona Estifania
It„s only because their hands became bleached with all that washing.
Mother
God made Blacks because they had to be. He thought they really had to be…Afterwards,
He regretted having made them because other men laughed at them and took
them off to their homes and put them to serve as slaves or not
much better. But because He couldn‟ t make them all be white, for those who
were used to seeing blacks would complain, He made it so that the palms would
exactly like the palms of other men.

MUDDY ROAD
A Zen Story
Tanzan and Ekido were once traveling together down a muddy road. A heavy rain was still
falling.
Coming around a bend, they met a lovely girl in a silk kimono and sash, unable to cross the
intersection.
“ Come on girl,” said Tanzan at once. Lifting her in his arms , he carried her over the mud.
Ekido did not speak again until that night when they reached a lodging temple. Then he no
longer could restrain himself, “We monks don’t go near females,” he told Tanzan, “especially not
young and lovely ones. It is dangerous. Why did you do that?”
“I left the girl there,” said Tanzan. “Are you still carrying her?”

example, if you have a phobia of spiders (as millions of people do), you only feel
anxious when there‟ s a spider around, otherwise you feel fine.
About one in ten people has a significant phobia, although few people seek

Tell something about the pictures below. What is common among the four pictures?
A conjunction is the glue that holds words, phrases and clauses (both dependent
and independent) together. There are three different kinds of conjunctions––
coordinating, subordinating, and correlative––each serving its own, distinct
purpose, but all working to bring words together.
