A month ago after finishing all my homework, I wanted to relax. While I was walking on the beach on a warm evening, I saw two small children playing with the sand. They found something. It was big, reddish-brown, and made of metal. When I looked at it, I knew immediately that it was an old bomb.
First, I told the children to move away from the bomb. Fortunately, I had my mobile phone with me, so I called the police and told them what we had found. Fifteen minutes later, the police arrived and I explained everything to them. Then I went home again.
The next day, I read in the newspaper that the police had blown up the bomb. It was highly explosive. It had been in the sand on the beach for over sixty years. It was from the second World War, and it was very dangerous. |

Jasmine is a native flower to some tropical areas in South Asia, Africa and Australia. In India, some varieties of Jasmine are used for religious purposes.
The flower can grow up to 3 meters high and 2 meters wide. It releases its fragrance mostly after the sun sets especially nearing the full moon. Therefore, it is often associated with soothing night-time moods.
The planting of Jasmine is started by putting some cuttings in 3 inch posts within 4 weeks. After the roots grow, they are put into 6 inch pots. The soil in the pots should be kept moist but possible for the water to go through it for optimum growth.

The Crow and The Oyster
A hungry crow saw an oyster on the beach one day. He wanted to eat the tasty meat inside the shell, so he tried to open the oyster. First, he used his beak, but he could not open the shell. Then, he hit it with a stone, but the shell stayed tightly shut. He even jumped up and down on the oyster, but still be could not open it.
Another crow came by. He saw what the first crow was trying to do and said, "My friend, may I offer you some good advice? I suggest that you pick up the oyster in your beak, fly high into the air, and then drop the oyster onto the wide rock below. The oyster shell will break open and you will be able to have your meal."
The hungry crow thought that it was a very good idea. He picked up the oyster with his beak, and then he flew as high as he could when he was sure that he was high enough, he dropped the oyster onto a wide rock far below.
The oyster shell broke wide open. However, the other crow was waiting nearby, and he
reached the broken oyster first. He enjoyed a tasty meal, while the hungry crow had nothing to eat. |

Butterflies are a type of insect with large and often colorful wings. They start out as eggs. They lay their eggs on leaves. The eggs hatch into caterpillars with tabular body. The caterpillar eats leaves, beds, or flowers of plants.
When a caterpillar is full sized, it goes into another stage called chrysalis. Caterpillars attach themselves to something solid before becoming a chrysalis. The caterpillar inside the chrysalis changes into a butterfly. Some butterflies make the change in one week. Some others take years to change.
When the change is complete, the adult butterfly splits the chrysalis. The insect unfolds its wings and pumps blood and air into then. It spreads out the wings until they become dry and harder. The beautiful butterfly then flies to get nectar from flowers. Most butterflies live only for one or two weeks. |
