PARAGRAPHS1. PARAGRAPHS

1.He gave examples of other courts and

greater ones. Of course, many opposed him:

that is politics. Of course, it took a long

time: that is politics too. But as the years

went by he wore down opposing arguments,

till he had taught people what a lesson it

would be to all the nations to have a young

athlete at court exhibiting perfect physical

fitness and how such an example would

strengthen their soldiers and enable them to

finally to win the just rights of the nation in

victorious battle against their accused

neighbours. And so the idea caught on; and

to make a very long story short, the past of

court acrobat was dually created.

2.Once he raised a hand to touch the lowest

of the swings that were hung from the

ceiling. But again the applause broke out,

assuring him that no actual activity was

expected of him. And so; having made his

bows, he was led to a seat, his life‟s

ambition achieved. It must have taken him

more than sixty years to do it, since first he

came by that strange ambition of his. But he

did it.

3.There was a young fellow, said Jorken, to

whom his parents probably used to say the

very things that we have been saying now;

and very likely he as many young fellow do,

may have wanted to prove them wrong, I

don‟t know: it was a long time ago. But,

what ever his motive was, he hit on a most

extra-ordinary ambition, and stuck to it, it

was nothing less than to be appointed court

acrobat.

4.He went into politics. They all do in that

country. But he went into them harder than

anyone else, and never gave up his ambition.

Of course he made speeches, and fine ones,

on many other subjects; but all the while he

stuck to his one idea. The years went by,

and the day came when he had power

enough to preach his ambition openly, and

he told them how the glory of their country

and of its ancient throne would be increased

if the post of court acrobat were created.

5.I came to that country and they were

wonderfully friendly, and they let me see the

great ceremony, which book place as soon

as the creation of the Post of Gorgios

uniform could be got ready. And very

magnificient clothing it was, a tight fitting of

the velvet, all gay with old buttons and

shining with lines of gold lace wound and

twisted about it. The great throne room had

been turned into a kind of gymnasium with

the members of royal house of seated along

a raised platform at one end and the

principal officers standing beside and

behind them.KBL ACADEMY OF ENGLISH AND SCIENCES

PARAGRAPHS1.Both parents of Gorgios were by then dead,

by then , little remained to be done; he had

only to stick five more days to that wild idea

of his, and then, when the question arose of

choosing an athlete to fill the newly-made

post, whom could they choose but the man

who had worked for it all those years.

2.Out talk at the club was of opportunity and

determination. Some said opportunity is

required for success, and million never had

it; others that only determination was

needed. And then Jorkins joined in, all for

determination. Of a man was determined to

get anything, and stuck to it long enough, he

hot it, said Jorkins.

3.“Never mind what country it was,” said

Jorken, “And as a matter of facts its

customs were not silly as you suppose. They

had no post of court acrobat, and never had.

But that didn‟t stop young Gorgios. That was

his name. He was a good athlete when he

came by his wild idea at about the age of

sixteen, and had won the high jump and the

hurdles and the hundred yards at his school.

4.Of course, many opposed him: that is

politics. Of course, it took a long time: that

is politics too. But as he years went by he

wore down opposing arguments, till he had

taught people what a lesson it would be to

all the nations to have a young athlete at

court exhibiting perfect physical fitness, and

how such an example would strengthen their

soldiers and enable them finally to win the

just rights of the nation in Victorious battle

against their accursed neighbours. And so

the idea caught on and to make a very long

story short; the post of court acrobat as

duly created.

5.I will not describe it with you, because

everything there, the uniforms and the

ladies brilliant dresses, was utterly put in

the shade by the moment when the doors

opened with a flood of golden light, and the

old man in his brilliant uniform appeared

between them for the crowning of his life‟s

work. His white hair and the red uniform of

Court Acrobat showed each other off to

perfection, and his thin figure worn with age

was made all the more melancholy by the

tight-fitting uniform.

6.But as the year went by, he wore down

apposing arguments, till he had taught

people what a lesson it would be to all the

nations to have a young athlete at Court

exhibiting perfect physical fitness and how

such an example would strengthen their

soldiers and enable them finally to win the

just rights of the nation in victorious battle

5.Whatever the question was it was at once

understood. Royal smiles were directed

towards him, and gentle applause broke out

from every hand, which he understood at

once, and the old bent form moved on away

from the hurdle. Once he raised a hand to

touch the lowest of the swings that were

hung from the ceiling. But again the

applause broke out, assuring him that no

actual activity was expected to him.
