I’m getting ready to bed but before I’d like to write a few lines here to practice my writing. A moment ago I was telling tales to my daughter to make her to sleep, I told her many tales until she fell asleep, after that I started reading The Happy Prince of Oscar Wilde, as I read it I thought it’s such a beautiful story about compassion and love, the way Wilde tell us that simple facts about sharing our richness with the people that don’t have enough make me cry. I bet Wilde wrote that story in a symbolic way and I believe I reckoned what the actual meaning is, but as a child tale is a beautiful one.

I’m getting ready to go to bed but before that I’d like to write a few lines here to practice my writing. A moment ago I was telling stories to my daughter to lull her to sleep*. I told her many tales until she fell asleep, after which I started reading The Happy Prince by Oscar Wilde. As I read it, I thought** it’s such a beautiful story about compassion and love. The way Wilde tells us that simple facts*** about sharing our riches with the people that don’t have enough made me cry. I bet Wilde wrote lots of symbolism into the story and I believe I reckoned**** what the actual meaning is, but even as a simple children's tale it is a beautiful one.

* "to make her sleep" would also work. "make" and "let" take the bare infinitive, with no "to". ** as written, the phrase after "I thought" feels like a quote or an embedded sentence. When speaking, pause briefly between "thought" and "it's" to make that clear to the listener. *** I'm not sure what the exact meaning of "that simple facts" is here and did not correct for grammar. This bit is slightly ungrammatical, but generally understandable. **** "I reckoned" is not common, at least in my dialect. It sounds like you're a cowboy from the Old West. "I understood" would be my preferred replacement.
