Going up and down several flights of stairs can take up a lot of your time. All
that walking can even be an inconvenience with hand full of groceries, sore
legs, or holding a child. Luckily, most buildings are well equipped with elevators
and lifts. An elevator ride would be your best option to ensure quick and easy
travel.
1. Press the "up" or "down" button. When you arrive to the elevator, decide
which way you are going and be ready to wait.
2. Allow any people to leave before entering. Take a step aside and allow
passengers enough space to make their way out of the elevator.
3. Most elevators have signals to show if they are going down or up. Make
certain the elevator is going in your direction. Avoid going in the wrong the
direction, especially if the building has a lot of floors.
4. When the elevator stops at your floor, assess what space remains. If you
cannot see enough room for you, let the doors close and wait for another
elevator.
5. Select your floor. Elevators have buttons on either sides of the door. If
someone is standing closer to the buttons than you, they might offer to
select for you. If they do not, kindly ask them to select the floor.

The king of the mice lived inside a banyan tree in a forest. One day, a
poor man was cutting down some trees. As he started to cut down the banyan
tree, the king of the mice grew frightened "Please, leave the tree standing" he
said to the woodcutter, "and I'll give you a piece of gold every day."
The woodcutter agreed. So, every evening the king of the mice took out
a piece of gold from under the roots of the tree and gave it to the woodcutter. The
woodcutter took the pieces of gold home and showed them to his wife.
After a few days, his wife asked him, "Where does the gold come from?"
"Don't worry about that," he said, "just keep it."
A few days later she asked him again, but he did not tell her. "If you
don't tell me," she said, "I'll go and tell the government or even the king that
you're a robber."
The woodcutter was frightened of his wife when she was angry. So he
said, "Every evening the king of the mice gives me a piece of gold from under the
roots of the tree."
"Oh, you are stupid!" his wife said. "You've been tricked by a mouse. He
gives you one piece of gold every evening but the rest of the gold is under the
tree all the time! Why don't you cut down the tree and take it all away?"
The woodcutter did as he was told. He cut down the tree. But when he
looked under the roots, the gold was not there. The king of the mice had run
away too.
That night, the king of the mice crept up to the woodcutter's house and

took back all the gold. So the woodcutter was as poor as before.
Last year I joined the Chicago Marathon, my first marathon contest. I had
to run 26,2 miles to complete it. It was hard.
At first, I just wanted to get the experience of joining a marathon. I
thought it would be one life time experience. After finishing it, I changed my
mind. I wanted to join another one. I was interested to complete at least one
more marathon and improve my time. I also experienced a good feeling between
participants and the spectators that made me happy. It was a very wonderful
thing for me. So I decided that I had to join another marathon the following year.

A mother duck and her little ducklings were on their way to a lake one
day. The ducklings were very happy following their mother and quack-
quacking along the way. All of a sudden the mother duck saw a fox at a
distance. She was frightened and shouted, "Children, hurry to the lake.
There's a fox!"
The ducklings hurried towards the lake. The mother duck wondered
what to do. She began to walk back and forth dragging one wing on the
ground. When the fox saw her, he became happy. He said to himself, "It
seems that she's hurt and can't fly! I can easily catch and eat her! - Then he
ran towards her.
The mother duck ran, leading the fox away from the lake. The fox
followed her. Now he wouldn't be able to harm her ducklings. The mother duck
looked towards her ducklings and saw that they had reached the lake. She
was relieved, so she stopped and took a deep breath. The fox thought she
was tired and he came closer, but the mother duck quickly spread her wings
and rose up in the air. She landed in the middle of the lake and her ducklings
swam to her.
The fox stared in disbelief at the mother duck and her ducklings. He
could not reach them because they were in the middle of the lake. In this way
she fooled her enemy thinking she was hurt. When the enemy followed her,
this gave her children time to escape.

"Bee"
Bees fly from flower to flower, sipping nectar and collecting grains of
pollen. Bees have a special tongue that sucks up the nectar and a crop in their
throat for storing it until they get back to the hive, where it is turned into honey
to use as food.
Many plants depend on bees to spread pollen, helping them to
reproduce. Flowers that attract bees are usually yellow, blue, or purple. Many
bees specialize in one plant species. In areas where different flowering plants
bloom at the same time, keep different bee species from fighting over the same
flower!
Honeybees and bumblebees live in colonies or hives. All the bees in the
colony work together for the good of the hive. Each has a job to do: the queen
lays the eggs and the workers build the honeycomb, care for the larvae and
collect the food.
