It’s Friday today. That’s the 8th day of June.
"En termyn eus passyes thera trigys en Selevan den ha benyn en teller creiys Chei a Horr." Thew hedna an dalla whedhel en Kernowek. Ew an daralla gwir? Nag ew. Saw thew Selevan teller lel ha’n sans o cadnas Keltek an wheffes cansbledhen en Kernow. Hedhyw ew y dhegol.
Once upon a time there lived in St Levan a man and a woman in a place called Ram’s House. That is the beginning of a story in Cornish. Is the story true? It is not. But St Levan is a real place and the saint was a sixth century Celtic missionary in Cornwall. Today is his saint’s day.

Can I remember rhymes? I can't remember exactly. But "amusing" is a rhyme for "exactly" (more or less). "Moth" is another rhyme, but how can I use it? The picture is a peppered moth.
