The Fieldmouse

~Cecil Frances Alexander


Where the acorn tumbles down,

Where the ash tree sheds its berry,

With your fur so soft and brown,

With your eye so round and merry,

Scarcely moving the long grass,

Fieldmouse, I can see you pass.


Little thing, in what dark den,

Lie you all the winter sleeping?

Till warm weather comes again,

Then once more I see you peeping

Round about the tall tree roots,

Nibbling at their fallen fruits.


Fieldmouse, fieldmouse, do not go,

Where the farmer stacks his treasure,

Find the nut that falls below,

Eat the acorn at your pleasure,

But you must not steal the grain

He has stacked with so much pain.


Make your hole where mosses spring,

Underneath the tall oak's shadow,

Pretty, quiet harmless thing,

Play about the sunny meadow.

Keep away from corn and house,

None will harm you, little mouse.

The first year I grew a garden, I planted only short, purple flowers. How boring! Now I know, though, to plant flowers together that look different. In my opinion, a mix of a few colors in the same spot looks best. Also, plant tall flowers with shorter flowers. This will make your garden look more interesting. Another tip for getting your garden to stand out it to plant flowers in groups. That will look more natural than single flowers in a row.

a)

A garden looks the best when it is full of short, purple flowers.

b)

A garden looks best when the flowers are different colors and heights.

A garden looks best when all of the flowers are short.

What Happened to the Dinosaurs?

Scientists believe that the meteorite was very big and that the impact may have produced a large dust cloud that covered the Earth for many years.

This theory may or may not be true, but it is one explanation as to why these giant reptiles no longer inhabit the Earth.

A Different Kind of Bike!!

Do you like to ride your bike? Most people ride bikes in warm weather, but not many ride when it is cold outside. Almost no one rides a bicycle during the snowy winter.

One unusual man does ride on

snow, and on ice, too. His name is Doug Stoup. Doug rode his bike in Antarctica! No place on Earth has more ice, snow, wind, and extreme cold.

Of course, Doug has warm clothes, and he has a special bicycle called an ice bike. Like other bikes, Doug's ice bike has two wheels, but the tires are different. They are very fat.

Thin tires slip on ice. Fat tires may look funny, but they do no slip as much.

Most bikes have some plastic parts. In very cold weather, plastic can freeze and break. The ice bike has no plastic at all. Antarctica is not a good place for plastic!

In 2003, Doug tested his bike in Antarctica for a week. He rode on ice and snow, and the ice bike worked fine. It did not slip on ice or get stuck in snow. Someday, Doug hopes to ride alone across Antarctica. He wants to go all the way to the South Pole by bike.

Do you think an ice bike sounds like fun? Wait—don’t give your old bike away yet! Ice bikes only work well on ice and snow, and they cost about $3,500. But they are no good at all

on a warm summer day!


What are two ways ice bikes are different from other bikes?

a)

They cost more money.

b)

They have more wheels.

c)

They are not made of any plastic parts.

d)

They are fun to slide on.
