Love and Time
Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island woukd sink , so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love.
Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment. When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.
Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said, “Richness, can you take me with you?”Richness answered, “No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you.”
Houses of Parliament
Houses of Parliament, also New Palace of Westminster, seat of the British Parliament (legislature), a great mass of buildings on the east bank of the Thames River in London. It was built (1840-60) after plans by Sir Charles Barry, on the site of the medieval royal residence, the Palace of Westminster, which was largely destroyed by fire in 1834.
The buildings cover an area of more than 3 hectares (8 acres) and contain 1100 apartments, 100 staircases, and 11 courts. The exterior, in rich late Gothic style, is impressive with its three massive towers: Victoria Tower (102 m/336 ft), Middle Tower (91 m/300 ft), and Saint Stephen's, or the Clock Tower (98 m/320 ft).
