Letter From Meni to Mani

Sunday, 12.21.2008

Dear Mani
.

Hey, how are you?
I haven't written to you in ages - things have been hectic.
When I had read your last letter, about how you fell into the mud in front of all your friends, it reminded me of an amusing story of my own.

It all happend when I was 4 years old and my 2 sisters and I decided to bake a chocolate cake. My eldest sister told me to get the oil from the cupboard above the kitchen sink. But, because I was very small and weak, when I held the oil bottle I fell backwords. The oil spilled all over the floor and I was covered with it. My sisters tried to help me but they couldn't. And every time I tried to get up I slipped and fell back on the oily floor. Finally, my sisters gave up and started laughing.

I hope my story made you laugh and I want to hear your thoughts about this story. Do you think its funny? Do you like it? Do you know a similar story of your own?

I'm looking foward to hearing from you soon.
.

Yours,

Meni.

Winter & Summer in Israel



Winter is one of the four seasons of the year.
Its the season with the shortest days and the lowest temperatures.
In northen areas it snows during the winter.
In winter the hours of the nights are more dominant and in most areas its characterized with the largest amouat of precipitations.

In terms of the psychological aspect, winter is seen as changing people's mood and habits. Furthermore, Winter is viewed as a symbolic season especially in art and in the media, signifying death or local of hope.

In the Israely realty winter lasts for 3 mounth but it is not as cold or snowy as in Europe and North America. In Israel, druing winter, most of the plants and fields like the Groundsel, the Cyclamenm, the Oxalis and the anemone flourish.

Summer is one of the four seasons of the year and the hottest one of all four.
Some people see summer as the mounths July, June and August.

The weather in summer is the wormest and in some of the subtropical areas it is also a wet season - which, in other words, means it rains a lot.
During the season, most of the plants die and the fields take on a yellow color instead of green.

The Israeli summer is extremely hot and it is the season when children and students go on their summer vacation.

In the past few years, as a result of the global warming, summers have become hotter and hotter. But for now, children still enjoy the pool and the beach during those hot days.
