THE BIB
A little snail told his father, “I want to have the biggest house.”
“Keep your house light and easy to carry,” said his father.
But, the snail ate a lot until his house grew enormous.
“You now have the biggest house,” said the snails.
After a while, the snails have eaten all the grass in the farm.
They decided to move to another place.
“Help! I cannot move,” said the snail with the biggest house.
The snails tried to help but the house was too heavy.
So the snail with the biggest house was left behind.

The pieces of rocks that come from outer space have three names:
meteor, meteorite, and meteoroid.
A meteoroid is a piece of matter moving in space. It moves as fast as
40 miles a second. It may be large or small. Most meteoroids are smaller than
a grain of sand.
As a meteoroid comes into the air near the earth, it catches fire. Most
meteoroids burn up before they hit the earth. The flash of light from the
burning meteoroid is called a meteor. If a piece of meteoroid falls to the
ground, it is called a meteorite.
People have studied these rocks for many years. They wanted to
research ways to keep meteoroids from making holes in spacecrafts. Thick
walls may help. Or perhaps spacecrafts can be covered with a metal skin that
will seal itself.

A mouse and a cat lived in an old house. The mouse stayed in a hole
while the cat slept under the table.
One night, the mouse got out of its hole. “Mmm, Cheese!” it thought, as
it went up the table. As it started nibbling the cheese, a fork fell. It woke
the cat up so it ran up the table. But the mouse was too fast for the cat. It
quickly dashed to its hole. Safe at last!

A HAPPY PLACE
MARIAN’S
EXPERIMENT
Marian came home from school. She went to the kitchen and saw her
mother cooking.
“Mama, do we have mongo seeds?” asked Marian. “I will do an
experiment.”
“Yes, we have some in the cabinet,” answered Mama.
Marian got some seeds and planted them in a wooden box. She
watered the seeds every day. She made sure they got enough sun. After
three days, Marian was happy to see stems and leaves sprouting. Her mongo
seeds grew into young plants.

TRADING PLACES
On a trip to a university, the driver told the professor, “I’ve heard you
give this speech many times. I can deliver it for you.”
The professor said, “The people in this university haven’t seen me yet.
Give the lecture. I’ll pretend to be your driver.”
When they arrived, the driver was introduced to be the professor. He
gave an excellent speech. Everybody applauded. Afterwards, somebody asked
a question which the driver couldn’t answer. In order to get out of the sticky
situation, he said, “Oh, that’s such an easy question. Even my driver can give
you the answer!”
