Cheetahs are the fastest big cat in the world. They can run up 70 miles per hour- speeds that are equivalent to the speed limit on a highway. One of the main reasons a cheetah can run so fast is because of its build. The cheetah is very slender, light, has long legs, and a long tail. This allows aerodynamics to works in its favor. Speed is also what keeps the cheetah out of danger when being attacked as prey.

Their house was small, for the lumber to build it had to be carried by wagon many miles. There were four walls, a floor and a roof, which made one room; and this room contained a rusty looking cooking stove, a cupboard for the dishes, a table, three or four chairs, and the beds. Uncle Henry and Aunt Em had a big bed in one corner, and Dorothy a little bed in another corner. There was no garret at all, and no cellar—except a small hole, dug in the ground, called a cyclone cellar, where the family could go in case one of those great whirlwinds arose, mighty enough to crush any building in its path. It was reached by a trap-door in the middle of the floor, from which a ladder led down into the small, dark hole.
