3、t the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the childs own happiness.

Also,

4、 parents (7)_ should realize that “Example is better than precept“.

And then, within a single generation, the whole mass of mixed peoples began speaking a total new tongue:

9、 Hawaiian Creole. The (7)_ new speech was contained ready-made words borrowed from all the (8)_ original tongues, but bore little and no resemblance to the (9)_ predecessors in the rules used for stringing the words together.

14、all, the (8)_ real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men with tears.
