I'm five years old


It's getting cold
I've got my big coat on
I hear your laugh
And look up smiling at you
I run and run
Past the pumpkin patch
And the tractor rides
Look now, the sky is gold
I hug your legs
And fall asleep on the way home
1 don't know why all trees Change in the fall
But I know you're not scared of anything at all
Don't know if Snow White's house is near or far away
But I know I had the best day with you today
I'm thirteen now
And don't know how
My friends could be so mean
I come home crying
And you hold me tight
And grab the keys
And we drive and drive
Until we found a town far enough away
And we talk and window shop
Till I forgotten all their names

A long time ago, there lived an old and poor couple in a village in Japan. They didn’t

One day, the old woman washed clothes in a river. While washing, she was also wishing
for a child. Then, a giant peach came floating down the river. She took it home and would cut
it.
There was a human voice from that peach saying not to cut it. Suddenly it split open; a
baby boy jumped out of that peach. Those old people were very happy and named him
Momotaro which means Peach Boy.
Time went by and people in that village were afraid of Oni Monsters who stole their
belongings. When Momotaro was about 15 years old, he wanted to save his village from Oni
Monsters. Momotaro’s parents were very proud of Momotaro. His father gave him a sword;
mother gave him a bag of dumplings.
On the way, Momotaro met a dog, a monkey and a hawk. He shared those dumplings
with them. Those animals joined him to fight Oni Monsters. Being a good leader, Momotaro

One element that is important to nearly all living things is oxygen. Humans and other
animals need oxygen to stay alive. Every time you take a breath, you are filling your lungs with
oxygen.

If much of the oxygen in the air disappeared, animals would not be able to survive. But
animal are breathing in oxygen every day. Why doesn’t the air ever run out of oxygen?

Plants help provide the oxygen that animals need to survive when you breath out, you
release carbon dioxide into the air. Carbon dioxide is made up of two elements, carbon and
oxygen. To make their own food, plants use carbon dioxide from the air. Then they release
oxygen as a waste product. Humans and other animals breathe in oxygen and release carbon
dioxide. This cycle is known as the oxygen-carbon dioxide cycle.

About eighty present of the oxygen used by animals is replaced by algae. Algae are
classified as neither plants nor animal, but as protists. They have chlorophyll and can make
their own food by photosynthesis. Algae live world-wide, in oceans, freshwater, and even on
land. Plants living on land replace the remaining twenty percent of the oxygen used by animals.
Because of the oxygen-carbon dioxide cycle, the amount of oxygen in the air stays fairly
constant. As long as there are enough plants on earth to release oxygen, we will never run out.

A flood is a rise of water with no place to go. Floods come in all depths, from just a couple
inches to many feet. The power of floodwater is extraordinary and lethal. In less than an hour,
strong rain can turn an ankle deep creek into an unstoppable 30-foot-high swell that
overpowers everything in its path.
Floods occur all over the world. Causes of floods include hurricanes, broken levees or
dams, rapidly thawing snow, ice jams, and heavy slow moving rain or repeated rains. A flood
can happen in a few minutes, hours, days, or over weeks.
No matter how quickly it happens or the cause, flooding is deadly. Floods kill more people
and cause more damage than other severe weather related events. Many die trying to drive or
walk through a flooded area. Just six inches of water can knock a person off their feet. Just two
feet of water can carry a car away.
