When you get up in the morning, you probably don't think much about all the dangers you face
even before you leave the house. When people think of getting hurt, the first thing that comes to
mind is a car or plane accident. The truth is, however, that millions of people suffer serious injuries,
and even death, in their own homes.
Falls on stairs account for 30% of all accidental deaths at home. And be careful as you plug in the
toaster: many people die from electrocution due to bad electrical wiring. In fact, you should think
twice before biting into that piece of toast, because statistics indicate that thousands of people die
each year as a result of choking on food. With all these hidden dangers, you might think that it
would be safer just to stay in bed. Well, think again. A surprising number of people are injured while
in, or around a bed. And that is precisely where most people die.

Once, long ago, the sky was very close to the earth, and people walked on their hands and knees.

birds that thought they could raise the sky. They got sticks and pushed. They raised the sky a little
bit, and then they got big stones and rested the sky on them. People stood up. The birds raised the
sky again. Suddenly it split open and people saw the first beautiful sunrise. The magpies started
singing. Since then, birds have always sung at sunrise.
