looks turned to smiles minutes

PIÑATA PROBLEM!



I was at a friend’s birthday party, and I was talking

a big game about my piñata-breaking skills. So
when it was my turn and the candy was still stuck

inside, everyone got excited. I didn’t want to let

them down, so I whacked extra hard ... and hit the

birthday girl in the face! Luckily, she wasn’t hurt

too badly, but she did have to wear an ice pack on
her eye for an hour. She still jokes about not

inviting me to her party next year! — Dee, DE

CAN ANIMALS READ? — Liz, 9, FL

It may sound kind of crazy, but some animals can actually recognize
writing! There aren’t any species that can read full sentences, but

some can be trained to learn the shapes of letters and symbols, plus

some small words. For example, dolphins can read
two-dimensional symbols, and some dogs

can be trained to recognize words like “exit,”

restroom signs or other important markers.

Astrology is the study of how the movements of the planets and stars influence a person’s
personality or things that may happen to them in the future. To read your horoscope, you need

to know your sign. In astrology, the sky is divided into 12 sections, each named after the

constellation that originally fell within its zone. Each sign has its own personality traits. If you
