Flag!

Anthem!For we are the Gypsy’s proud to be so small. We stand up for are selves even though we are small. We believe in everybody being treated equally and having the same rights for you and me. We live in normal houses and in the 20th century. We get to places we need to go by horses and horse drawn carriages that may be so but we still use cars if in need to. While playing are national sports we may get hurt or pushed be we will still stand up and not hang are heads down. We still have four seasons summer, winter, spring, and fall but are spring and fall are long and are winter and summer are short. We have a better education than most countries and obey are teachers more because we take pride in are future. We take pride in what we do building buildings tall and making inventions so we do not pollute our world. We build are houses out of clay and wood and they still stand strong through wind and rain and hurricanes. For we are the Gypsy’s proud to be so small.
