Chimpanzees and humans are alike in many ways. A baby chimp laughs when its mother tickles it. After chimpanzees fight, they kiss and make up. When one chimpanzee comforts another, it gives it a hug or pat on the back. There are, of course, many ways that chimpanzees and humans are different. Chimpanzees are smaller and stronger than humans. An adult male chimpanzee stands three or four feet tall and weighs about 100 pounds. But a chimpanzee can lift more weight than a man who is six feet tall.

Chimps live in groups and like each other a lot, but sometimes they fight. Because they don’t want to stay angry at each other after a fight, they make up by holding a hand out to the other. They show they are sorry with pats and hugs. Then the anger goes away.

Different types of clouds have their own appearance.  For example, some are wispy and thin and others are fluffy and shaped.  Some people think Cumulus clouds look like puffs of cotton.

All clouds are made of water droplets.  Fog, however, is a different type of cloud.  The difference is that fog forms on the ground and the other clouds form high in the air.
