The Camel

You have very likely heard tales of how the camel got its hump. These are fun to hear and read about. Camels are able to live well in the dry deserts of Asia and Africa. In the hump is stored fat and food. If the camel must go without eating for a long time, it can draw on this hump for food. If the camel must go without water for several days, it can draw on water stored in pouches in its stomach. It is able to eat thorny plants which grow in the desert. Thick pads on its feet, legs and chest made it possible to walk, or kneel in burning hot sand. It can close its nostrils in a sand storm, and find water with a keen sense of smell. There are two types of camels. The dromedary has one hump, and the bactrain has two.

Porcelain

Porcelain is one of three kinds of pottery. It is usually coated with a hard, shiny material galled glaze. When porcelain is broken it has a glassy look, when it is tapped there is a clear ringing sound, and it is not harmed by fire or water. It is often called china because that is the country where it was invented. The two other kinds of pottery are stoneware, and earthware. They are less glossy and more heavy than porcelain. Also, they do not let light shine through as porcelain does.

One summer's day, a merry Grasshopper was dancing, singing and playing his violin with all his heart. He saw an Ant passing by working hard to store food for the winter. “Come and sing with me instead of working so hard,” said the Grasshopper “Let’s have fun together.” “I must store food for the winter,” said the Ant,“ and I advise you to do the same.” “Don’t worry about winter, it’s still very far away,” said the Grasshopper, laughing at him. But the Ant wouldn’t listen and continued to work. When winter came, the starving Grasshopper went to the Ant’s house and humbly begged for something to eat. “If you had listened to my advice in the summer you would not now be in need,” said the Ant. “I’m afraid you will have to go without supper,” and he closed the door.
