Im From Poem

I am from the 5 stars and red,
fromstreet markets.
I am from cheap TVs and clothes,
from fake brand name shoes,
that last longer then the real ones.

I'm from tofu,
that tastes good but tastes funny.
I'm from the crowded,
from the somewhat dirty.
I'm from the busy streets,
that are very noisy.

Poem

There is a water fall,
I went there with Paul,
We were going to jump off and fall,
But we suddenly got a call,
It was from my mom at the mall,
She said we will go to Nepal,
Where we could grow tall,
And live happily ever after.

One person, Evelyn Adams won the lottery TWICE. She was greedy and wanted to keep her money. She thought gambling could brng her more money and also she would be able to keep her money. She continued to gamble until one day she realized she has no more money. She lost everything and now lives in a trailer. This relates to the theme of the pearl, wealth cant always bring happiness.
