The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, or

UK, is in Western Europe. It comprises the island of Great Britain

(England, Scotland and Wales) and the northern one-sixth of the
island of Ireland (Northern Ireland), together with many smaller
islands.

The mainland areas lie between latitudes 49°N and 59°N (the
Shetland Islands reach to nearly 61°N), and longitudes 8°W to
2°E. The Royal Greenwich Observatory, near London, is the
defining point of the Prime Meridian. The United Kingdom has a
total area of approximately 245,000 km².
The UK lies between the North Atlantic and the North Sea, and
comes within 35 km (22 mi) of the northwest coast of France,
from which it is separated by the English Channel.

It shares a 499 km international land boundary with the Republic

of Ireland. The Channel Tunnel bored beneath the English
Channel, now links the UK with France.
The physical geography of the UK varies greatly. England
consists of mostly lowland terrain, with upland or mountainous
terrain only found north-west of the Tees-Exe line. The upland
areas include the Lake District, the Pennines, North York Moors,
Exmoor and Dartmoor. The lowland areas are typically traversed
by ranges of low hills, frequently composed of chalk, and flat
plains.
Scotland is the most mountainous country in the UK and its
physical geography is distinguished by the Highland Boundary
Fault which traverses the Scottish mainland from Helensburgh to
Stonehaven. The faultline separates the two distinctively different
regions of the Highlands to the north and west, and the Lowlands
to the south and east.

The Highlands are predominantly mountainous, containing the

majority of Scotland's mountainous landscape, while the
Lowlands contain flatter land, especially across the Central
Lowlands, with upland and mountainous terrain located at the
Southern Uplands.
Wales is mostly mountainous, though south Wales is less
mountainous than north and mid Wales.
Northern Ireland consists of mostly hilly landscape and its
geography includes the Mourne Mountains as well as Lough
Neagh, at 388 square kilometres (150 sq mi), the largest body of
water in the UK.
The overall geomorphology of the UK was shaped by a
combination of forces including tectonics and climate change, in
particular glaciation in northern and western areas.
The tallest mountain in the UK (and British Isles) is Ben Nevis, in
the Grampian Mountains, Scotland. The longest river is the River
Severn which flows from Wales into England. The largest lake by
surface area is Lough Neagh in Northern Ireland, though
Scotland's Loch Ness has the largest volume.
The Coat of Arms was introduced by King Richard I of England
in the 1190s, apparently as a version of the arms of the Duchy of
Normandy.
Normandy currently uses two leopards, although an alternative
historical version uses three leopards identical to the English
arms.
According to one tradition, following the Norman Conquest an
extra leopard was added to two existing Norman leopards to
represent the combined Anglo-Norman realm. According to
another tradition the two leopards were combined with the single
lion of Aquitaine on the acquisition of these continental territories
by the English Crown.
Other heraldic authorities have claimed that at an early stage in
the development of heraldry the number of Norman leopards was
not fixed and that it is simply a matter of design as to why
England has ended up with three heraldic leopards (now called
lions) and Normandy with two.
 Elephant Amaranta’s Fear
The elephant Amaranta was one of the biggest stars of the Great
Worldwide Circus “The Whale.” With her enormous trunk she
was able to juggle more spectacularly than had ever been seen in
the circus tent. Also, the elephant Amaranta was happy and fun
and everyone loved her very much in the circus.
She only had one problem: mice made her panic. But this, in
reality, was a very small problem, because no mouse had ever
been seen in the Great Worldwide Circus “The Whale.” But one
day, a family of mice appeared there. They had escaped from a
town in which a strange flautist rounded them all up and threw
them out via the river. Once the flautist arrived, he emitted a
magical sound, and every mouse that heard it lost all sense of
reason.
– Lucky for us, we were sleeping when this happened. The only
one that was awake was grandfather; and since he is
deaf…nothing happened to him!
So that family of mice had to flee. And so, walking and walking,
they had arrived at the circus.
– You can all stay here – said the ringmaster – but you have to be
careful with the elephant Amaranta. She gets panicked around
mice, so it will be best that she doesn’t see you.
But the Circus Worldwide “The Whale” was very small and the
elephant Amaranta didn’t take long in discovering this family of
mice.

– Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! – she yelled afraid.

– Don’t you worry – assured the ringmaster – Surely she will
become accustomed…
But Amaranta did not become accustomed and each time that she
crossed one of the mice, she climbed atop the first thing she
found.
1. The stool the ringmaster used in the lion spectacle.
2. The trapeze where Calixta, the trapeze artist monkey, left all
the kids marveling at her pirouettes.
3. Including the tightrope, which Nicolasa, the giraffe aerialist,
climbed.
Whichever site was good enough for her to be far from those tiny,
speedy and bothersome animals that gave her so much fear. So,
those who had to get used to the situation were the other members
of the circus.
The animals, convinced that this absurd fear had to end, decided
one day to search for a way to end it. The first to propose
something was the clown Miguelín, always so ingenious…
– I have found in my suitcase full of joke supplies, a fake
mouse…
– I don’t see how this will help us with Amaranta – groaned a
grumpy lion.
– Very easy: we gift her the mouse, and when she sees that it is
fake and realizes that you can wind it when you want, she will
feel like she can control mice, and with that, her own fear.
No one was very convinced with this plan, but as they did not
have another, they decided to give it a chance. So they hid the
fake mouse in a box, wrapped it up in floral paper and gave it to
Amaranta.
– A gift? For me? But it isn’t my birthday – exclaimed the
elephant Amarantha happily when she saw the package.
But her smile disappeared when inside the package she saw the
mouse.
– Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh… – she screamed as she
climbed a stool scared to death.
– Amaranta, it’s a fake mouse! It is nothing more than a toy.
Touch it!
But the elephant didn’t want to know anything more about the
gift. The plan had failed.
– We have to leave – exclaimed the mice. – At the end of the day,
we are only a family of mice and Amaranta is the star of the
circus. We can’t compete with her!
– Don’t say that! – exclaimed the upset Calixta, the monkey
trapeze artist – if we cannot end her fear, we have to accustom
ourselves to it.
– But, what happens with my stools? I can’t perform my show if
every few minutes she is breaking them. – protested the
ringmaster.
– Well, yes the problem with the stools…let us buy one of her
size! – suggested Greta, the oldest lion of the circus.
– Great, one that can withstand her on all parts so she will be able
to climb it, when she sees a mouse, and won’t break anything.
To the elephant Amaranta, they gave a new gift that she like much
more than the anterior. She promised all her peers that she would
not return to breaking their work tools and that she would try to
control her attacks of fear.
What is certain is that Amaranta never was able to control her
fear, but at least the Great Worldwide Circus “The Whale” never
again was a disaster. And of course, the family of mice remained
there always. Eventually, even they had a circus performance that
became very very very famous.

I found a love for me
Darling, just dive right in and follow my lead
Well, I found a girl, beautiful and sweet
Oh, I never knew you were the someone waiting for me

Well, I found a woman

Stronger than anyone I know
She shares my dreams
I hope that someday I'll share her home
I found a lover
To carry more than just my secrets
To carry love, to carry children of our own

We are still kids, but we're so in love

Fighting against all odds
I know we'll be alright this time
Darling, just hold my hand
Be my girl, I'll be your man
I see my future in your eyes

Now I know I have met an angel in person
And she looks perfect
I don't deserve this
You look perfect tonight
