Cane toads come from South America, but they were brought to Australia in the 1930s. The reason people brought them was to help control the beetles that were harming sugar crops, since the toads would eat the beetles. Unfortunately, their introduction to the country had some unexpected side effects. The toads began reproducing quickly, and their population spread out of control. They began harming Australia’s ecosystem and were thought of as a big problem.

Car crashes are extremely dangerous. In the past, not all cars had seatbelts. As highways began to spread across the United States, more and more people were getting hurt in car crashes. The government made a new law requiring everyone to wear a seatbelt in order to keep people safe. As a result, there were far fewer deaths on the road. It was estimated that seatbelts saved about 14,000 lives in the year 2015.

At the same time, German Nazis were rounding up Jewish families like her own, and she and her family soon had to go into hiding.
