The Pelican
The white pelican is one of the most successfl fish-eating birds. The success is largely
due to its command hunting behaviour. A group, perhaps two dozen birds, will gather in
a curved arc some distance offshore. The birds then begin to move forward towards
the shore, beating the water furiously with their wings, driving the fish before them.
When the water is shallow enough for the birds to reach the fish, the formation
breaks up as each bird dips its bill into the water to scoop up its meal. As the bird
lifts its head, the water drains from its bill leaving the fish which are then swallowed.
Pelicans are among the oldest group of birds. Fossils of this genus have been found
dating back 40 million years ago.
Butterflies are a type of insect with large and often colorful wings. They start out as
eggs. They lay their eggs on leaves. The eggs hatch into caterpillars with tabular body.
The caterpillar eats leaves, beds, or flowers of plants.
When a caterpillar is full sized, it goes into another stage called chrysalis. Caterpillars
attach themselves to something solid before becoming a chrysalis. The caterpillar
inside the chrysalis changes into a butterfly. Some butterflies make the change in one
week. Some others take years to change.
When the change is complete, the adult butterfly splits the chrysalis. The insect
unfolds its wings and pumps blood and air into then. It spreads out the wings until they
become dry and harder. The beautiful butterfly then flies to get nectar from flowers.
Most butterflies live only for one or two weeks.
The Rabbit and The Turtle
One day a rabbit was boasting about how fast he could run. He was laughing at the turtle for being
so slow.
Much to the rabbit’s surprise, the turtle challenged him to a race. The rabbit thought this was a good
joke and accepted the challenge. The fox was to be the umpire of the race. As the race began, the
rabbit raced way ahead of the turtle, just like everyone thought.
The rabbit got to the halfway point and could not see the turtle anywhere. He was hot and tired and
decided to stop and take a short nap. All this time the turtle kept walking step by step by step. He
never quit no matter how hot or tired he got. He just kept going.
However, the rabbit slept longer than he had thought and woke up. He could not see the turtle
anywhere! He went at full-speed to the finish line but found the turtle there waiting for him.
