Venice is a city in northern Italy. It has been known as the Queen of the Adriatic, City
of Bridges, and The City of Light. The city stretches across 117 small islands in the marshy
Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy.
Venice is world famous for its canals. It is built on an archipelago of 117 islands formed
by about 150 canals in a shallow lagoon. The islands on which the city is built are connected by
about 400 bridges. In the old centre, the canals serve the function of roads, and every form of
transport is on water or on foot.
You can ride gondola there. It is the classical Venetian boat which nowadays is mostly
used for tourists, or weddings, funerals, or other ceremonies. Now, most Venetians travel by
motorised waterbuses which ply regular routes along the major canals and between the citys
islands. The city has many private boats. The only gondolas still in common use by Venetians are
the Traghetti, foot passenger ferries crossing the Grand Canal at certain points without bridges.

Dear Icha,
Hows life? Thanks for the letter telling about your holiday activities. Here, I want to tell
you about mine.
Last holiday, my family and I went to the beach. We wanted to release the baby sea
turtles from the Goa Cemara shore.
Goa Cemara is located in Bantul, Yogyakarta. The walk to the beach was pretty far, but
very shady. It felt like we were in the Twilight movie scenes, a great for photo shoots! We
adopted 5 baby turtles. Each turtle cost 10,000 rupiahs. The baby turtles were just hatched. They
were so cute. I chose my turtle and named it Anjo. My sister Fia also chose one and named it
Wora. Anjo and friends were very skittish in the box, and then right when we set them in the
sand, they immediately got still. They did not make any movements.
We entered Anjo in the race. We were told by our guide that before the race began, we
should face the little babies south so that when they came out to shore at night, they would
remember which way to go. Cool, isnt it? And the race began. I could see how energetic they
were. What I noticed was that when they hit the water and were pushed back by the waves, the
turtles ran faster as if knowing what was ahead of them. They were just about to get swept away
by the ocean. It was my unforgettable experience with the baby sea turtles.
Best wishes,
Swastika

Pied-Piper of Hamelin
The town of Hamelin was suffering from a terrible plague of rats. The town council tried
everything to get rid of them, but couldnt. At last, the Mayor promised a big reward to anybody
who could put an end to the plague.
A stranger dressed in bright clothes arrived and said he could rid Hamelin of the rats. At
night, the stranger began playing a tune on his flute, drawing all the rats out of the houses and
barns and into the river, where they drowned.

the reward. He ordered the piper to leave Hamelin.

followed him, and he left the village towards the mountains. Suddenly, a cave opened in the

The culture of Asia is human civilization in Asia. It features different kinds of cultural
heritage of many nationalities, societies, and ethnic groups in the region, traditionally called a
continent from a Western-centric perspective, of Asia. The region or continent is more
commonly divided into more natural geographic and cultural sub regions, including Central Asia,
East Asia, North Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia and West Asia. Although Asia is not a distinct
continent geographically, there has been little unity or common history for many of the cultures
and peoples of Asia. Asian art, music, and cuisine, as well as literature, are important parts of
Asian culture. Eastern philosophy and religion also plays a major role, with Hinduism, Taoism,
Confucianism, Buddhism, Judaism and Islam all playing major roles. One of the most complex
parts of Asian culture is the relationship between traditional cultures and the Western world.
Other cultural differences throughout Asia are Asian peoples adaptations to the climate
zones of Asia, subtropical or tropical. The ethnic groups have adapted to mountains, deserts,
grasslands, and forests. On the coasts of Asia, the ethnic groups have adopted various methods of
harvest and transport. Some groups are primarily hunter-gatherers, some practice transhumance
(nomadic lifestyle), others have been agrarian/rural for millennia and others are becoming
industrial/urban. Some groups/countries of Asia are completely urban (Singapore and Hong
Kong). The colonization of Asia was largely ended in the twentieth century, with national drives
for independence and self-determination across the continent.

Hot Air Balloons
by Mark Marchant
People first experienced flying by using a hot air balloon. The first-ever recorded hot air
balloon flight was in France in the summer of 1783. Two brothers, Joseph and Etienne
Montgolfer, experimented with paper models heated by hot air at their familys paper factory. On
the day of their launch, thousands of people turned out to watch the Montgolfer balloon take off.
The French King Louis XVI was among the crowd. The balloonsmaiden flight was a great
success. Hot air ballooning became an instant national triumph for France. The French nation
loved the Montgolfers, who were seen as a shining example of the countrys new age of
adventure and invention.
However, the Montgolfer brothers were not on board their balloon. The passengers in the
hot air balloon included a duck, a sheep and a chicken! A couple of months later, on 21
17
November 1783, two brave men called Marquis Francois dArlandes and Pilatre de Rozier
entered the history books as the worlds first people to take safely to the air.
The Montgolfers design of a hot air balloon is similar to the designs still in use today.
Hot air balloons work on a very basic scientific theory. Warm air rises up through cooler air.
Warm air in the balloon makes the hot air balloon rise up through the cooler air surrounding it.
To stay airborne, the balloon needs to remain hotter than the surrounding air. As the air inside the
balloon cools, the balloon drops slowly towards the ground. A gas-powered burner underneath
the balloon warms up the air inside the balloon and makes it rise again.

Firefly or Lightning Bug
Photinus pyralis
The Pyralis firefly (also known as the lightning bug) is a common firefly in North
America. This partly nocturnal, luminescent beetle is the most common firefly in the USA.
18
At night, the very end (the last abdominal segment) of the firefly glows a bright yellowgreen color. The firefly can control this glowing effect. The brightness of a single firefly is 1/40
of a candle. Fireflies use their glow to attract other fireflies. Males flash about every five
seconds; females flash about every two seconds. This firefly is harvested by the biochemical
industry for the organic compunds luciferin (which is the chemical the firefly uses for its
bioluminescence).
This flying insect is about 0.75 inch (2 cm) long. It is mostly black, with two red spots on
the head cover; the wing covers and head covers are lined in yellow. Like all insects, it has a hard
exoskeleton, six jointed legs, two antennae, compound eyes, and a body divided into three parts
(the head, thorax, and abdomen).
Both the adults and the larvae are carnivores. They eat other insects (including other
fireflies), insect larvae, and snails.

Once upon a time, on the banks of a river, Turtle played her flute. When Turtle played, all
the animals listened. Lions, elephants, butterflies, snakes and monkeys danced to Turtles music.
One day a man heard Turtles music. Ahh, he thought, that must be Turtle making music.
Turtle would taste very good right now. So he called out, Turtle! Show me your beautiful
flute. Turtle slowly walked to him and held out her flute. But the moment the man saw Turtle,
he grabbed her by the neck and began to run. Turtle tried to cry for help, but she couldnt make a
sound. She closed her eyes, holding tightly to her flute for good luck.
When the man reached his hut, he put Turtle into a cage and shut it. Then he turned to his
children. Dont let Turtle out of her cage. And off he went to the fields. The children began to
play outside. Turtle sat very still inside her cage, thinking about the mans words. She began to
play a sweet tune on her flute, and the children ran to the cage. Is that you playing, Turtle? they
asked, their eyes wide with wonder. Yes, Turtle said. She kept on playing, for she could see the
children were delighted. At last she stopped. I can dance even better than I can play, she said.
Would you like to see? Oh, please! the little boy cried. Ill show you how to dance and play
at the same time, said Turtle, but you must open the cage. There is no room in here.
So the little child opened the cage and Turtle began to dance and play. The children
laughed and clapped their hands, for never had they seen such a wonderful thing. Then Turtle
stopped. Dont stop! the children cried. Oh, Turtle groaned, my legs are stiff. If I could just
walk a little bit to loosen them ... Dont go too far, the little girl cautioned. Come right
back. Never fear, said Turtle. You wait right here. Turtle crawled off toward the jungle. The
moment she was out of sight, she raced all the way back to her house. Nobody ever found Turtle
again. But to this day, if you stretch your ear, you can listen to the sweet sound of a flute in the
forest.

An Ass and a Fox went into partnership and went out to search for food together. They

frightened.
But the Fox thought he saw a way of saving his own skin, and went boldly up to the Lion
and whispered in his ear, Ill manage that you shall get hold of the Ass without any trouble, if
youll promise to let me go free. The Lion agreed to this, and the Fox then rejoined his
companion.
Before long it managed to lead him by a hidden pit, which some hunter had dug as a trap
for wild animals, and into which he fell. When the Lion saw that the Ass was safely caught and
couldnt get away, it was to the Fox that he first turned his attention, and he soon finished him
off, and then at his leisure proceeded to feast upon the Ass.

Mars is a planet that is easy to spot in the night sky. It is called the Red Planet because
of its fiery red-orange color.
Mars comes closer to earth than any other planet except venus. At times it comes within
35 million miles (56 million km). It is similar to Earth in some respects. A day on Mars is only
slightly longer than our own day. The planet has seasons like the Earth, only they are almost
twice as long as ours. It has ice caps at the north and south poles, like Earth. They shrink in

and is much colder. Temperatures do not often rise above freezing, even in summer. It has only a
