〈#154〉北海道の言葉〜押ささる〜

نوبهار است در آن کوش که خوشدل باشی

که بسی گل بدمد باز و تو در گل باشی

من نگویم که کنون با که نشین و چه بنوش

که تو خود دانی اگر زیرک و عاقل باشی

چنگ در پرده همین می‌دهدت پند ولی

وعظت آن گاه کند سود که قابل باشی

در چمن هر ورقی دفتر حالی دگر است

حیف باشد که ز کار همه غافل باشی

نقد عمرت ببرد غصه دنیا به گزاف

گر شب و روز در این قصه مشکل باشی

گر چه راهیست پر از بیم ز ما تا بر دوست

رفتن آسان بود ار واقف منزل باشی

حافظا گر مدد از بخت بلندت باشد

صید آن شاهد مطبوع شمایل باشی


'Tis the fresh spring . In this strive that joyous of heart thou mayst be
For , again , blossometh many a rose when in the clay of the grave thou shall be . *** Within the veil , thee , the harp keepeth giving counsel . But ,
Thee , counsel profiteth at that time when worthy thou mayst be . *** I say not now , with whom , sit what drink
For thou knowest , if wise and learned thou be . *** In the sward , every leaf is a book of a different state
Woe is it if , careless of the state of all , thou be . *** Though , from us to the Friend , is a Path the path of ma'rifat full of fear ,
Easy is the going , if acquainted with the stage the Shaikh thou be . *** In excess , the world's anguish taketh life's cash ,
If , night and day , in this difficult tale , of journeying to the Friend thou be . *** O Hafiz if , from lofty fortune , aid be thine ,
The prey of that true Beloved , impressed with excellences , thou shalt be

Serial-Verb Sentence

Walt Disney is known for creating some of the most beloved children's movies in history. But his path to success wasn't a direct one.

Born in Chicago in 1901, Disney's journey began in 1923, when he moved to California to make cartoons. He made a series of silent cartoons called Alice Comedies, which became successful and led to the founding of the Walt Disney Studio.

In 1927, Walt Disney created a new cartoon character called Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, and made 26 short films with him in just one year.

However, when Disney asked for more money to continue making them, he discovered that his distributor had secretly hired his animators to make Oswald cartoons without him. Worse still, Disney didn't own the character of Oswald — the distributor did.

This setback forced Disney to create a new character. And that's how he came up with his most famous creation — Mickey Mouse. Mickey first appeared in the 1928 movie Steamboat Willie, and became an instant hit.

Disney then made the world's first full-color cartoon, 1932's Flowers and Trees, winning him an Oscar for Best Short Subject.

Building on these successes, Disney began working on his first full-length movie in 1934 — Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Over 300 people were involved in making the movie, including animators and artists. It went four times over its budget, and some dubbed the movie "Disney's Folly," believing it would fail.

But it didn't — when it was released in 1937, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs became the highest-grossing film of all time, although it lost that title two years later to Gone with the Wind.

Walt Disney passed away in 1966, but his legacy lived on. His company continued to release successful animated movies like The Little Mermaid and The Lion King, and now also creates successful computer animated films like Frozen and Moana.
