The nut of this tree is hung high aloft, wrapped in a silk wrapper, which is enclosed in a case of sole leather, which again is packed in a mass of shock absorbing, vermin proof pulp, sealed up in a waterproof, ironwood case, and finally cased in a vegetable porcupine of spines, almost impregnable. There is no nut so protected there is no nut in our woods to compare with it as food. What is a Chesnut.

The strait that shall forever bear his hame.Luis Vaz de Camões
A thousand trees are seen towards heaven rising, With beautiful and sweetly-scented apples The orange, wearing on its lovely fruit The colour Daphne carried in her hair Bent low, nay almost fallen to the ground, The citron, heavy with its yellow load And, last, the graceful lemon with its fruit Of pleasant smell and shaped like virgins' breasts.

Do you know what my favorite part of the game is? The opportunity to play.

My message to the kids and our fans is hockey's a great game. There's a lot of hockey being played at all levels. Get involved, do it. We will be back and we will be back better than ever and hopefully as soon as possible. Don't give up on the game. It's too good.

It was weird because I was pregnant, throughout that so it was weird being a pregnant witch. I was in a really bad mood but luckily, because I sleep with the director, he just sort of scheduled me so I only had to do it two nights.
