They swim fast.
Kyril is in the ocean. He’s scubadiving. He’s studying orcas. The orcas
are curious. They watch him. He
studies them. Milenka has a special
camera. She needs it to take photos
under water.
“We come to the ocean every day,”
says Milenka. “The orcas know us.
They aren’t scared. Some people are
scared of orcas. They call them ‘killer
whales’. But I’m not scared of them.
They don’t hurt me.”

Victor is outside. There’s a noise. It’s
Mr. García’s cat, Kitty. It’s miaowing.
Kitty hardly ever miaows. Victor looks
into Mr. García’s yard. Mr. García is
an old man. Victor sometimes helps
him. Mr. García usually sits outside.
But Victor can’t see him. Kitty jumps
over the fence and miaows. What’s
wrong? Victor calls his dad.
“Dad! Where’s Mr. García?”
“Mr. García always goes to the store
on Saturday.”
“But Dad, Kitty never comes into our
yard!”
Victor and Dad go next door. They
see smoke. There’s a fire in Mr.
García’s garage! Dad calls the fire
department.
Mr. García comes back. He says,
“Victor, you’re a hero!” But Victor
smiles and says, “Kitty is the hero!”

Every year in Harbin, China, there’s
a festival of ice and snow. This is the
ice city. It wasn’t here in fall. Imagine!
All these amazing buildings weren’t
here. This was a field!
The ice is from the Songhua River.
It was water in summer! But now, in
winter, it’s ice. The statues were big
blocks of ice and snow. Now they’re
beautiful sculptures of people and
animals.
Harbin is very cold in winter. But in
spring, it gets warm. The ice melts.
There was an amazing city of snow
and ice here. But now it’s water
again. It wasn’t a dream! Come back
next winter!

yesterday! We weren’t at my house.
We were at Grandma’s house. All my
cousins were there. It was hot and
sunny. The wedding cake was very
big, but my favourite thing was a
beautiful statue made of ice. It was
a swan and it was amazing. At the

I asked my Grandma about when she
was a child.
Grandma talked about her toys.
She didn’t play computer games.
She played board games with her
sisters and brothers. They listened to
music on big, round records, or they
listened to the radio.
They usually played outside with
their friends. They played games
like skipping and hopscotch. Her
brothers climbed trees and fished. All
the neighborhood children played
together.
Many things are different now. I
don’t listen to records, but I play
outside with my friends! I listen
to the radio, and I watch TV. I play
computer games, too!

A giant had a beautiful garden. He
didn’t want to share it.
“This garden is mine!” he said. He
built a big wall.
One day, the giant found a kite.
“Whose kite is this?” he shouted.
“It’s mine,” said a voice. The giant saw
a brother and sister.
“It isn’t his. It’s ours,” said the girl. “We
share it.”
“Well, this garden isn’t yours,” said
the rude giant. “Go away!”
Later, the giant saw the children
playing. It looked fun! The giant felt
lonely. Then he had an idea.
He called to the children, “The
garden is mine, and the kite is yours.
We can share!”
So the children played with the
giant, and they were friends.

Nabil asked, “Can I get a pet? I like
cats.”
“Oh, Nabil!” said Mom. “Our apartment
is small and cats need a garden.”
Nabil thought. “Can I have a bird?”
“No, you can’t. Birds are noisy and
messy.”
Nabil asked, “May I have a snake?
They’re quiet.”
“No, you may not! They’re quiet, but
they’re dangerous.”
“A mouse isn’t dangerous. Can I get a
mouse?”
“No, you can’t! A mouse can escape!”
said Mom.
A small, quiet, safe pet that can’t
escape …
“Mom! May I get a goldfish?”
“A goldfish?” Mom paused. “OK,
Nabil. Yes, you may. But you have to

There’s a field in front of our house.
Animals live in the field. There’s
a pond across from the field. The
animals go to the pond. But there’s
a road between the field and the
pond. It’s dangerous for them.
Dad had an idea. He dug a tunnel
under the road. He worked hard!
Dad has a small camera. The camera
is behind a tree, next to the tunnel.
We can watch on Dad’s computer.
The animals go into the tunnel.
When the animals are in the tunnel,
the cars are above them on the road.
Now the animals can go to the pond
safely!

For centuries, we used horses for
transportation. A horse is stronger
than a person, and it can pull a
wagon. The wagon’s wheels make a
heavy load easier to pull.
Then people started to use canals.
Canal transportation was slow, but
the boats carried more things. A
canal boat is bigger and heavier than
a wagon. The boat is on water. Water
makes the heavy load easier to pull.
A hundred years ago, canals and
horses were very important.
Now we don’t use horses. We use
highways and trucks. Trucks have
big engines. Trucks are stronger than
horses. They can pull heavier loads.
Trucks are faster than boats.

People and things travel around the
world every day. People often travel
by airplane. It’s the fastest way to
travel. The fastest passenger airplane
in the world was the Concorde. It
traveled from New York to Paris in
3½ hours!
People sometimes go on vacation
on big ships. They aren’t fast, but
they’re very big. The biggest cruise
ship is named Allure of the Seas. It’s
enormous!
Big ships carry things across oceans
and through very big canals. It’s the
slowest way to transport things, but
the big ships can carry the heaviest
loads. The newest ships are very big.
The biggest container ship is named
Emma Maersk. It’s too big for the old
ports and canals!
