Jellyfish are not really fish. They are invertebrate
animals. This means that unlike fish or people, they have no backbones. In
fact, they have no bones at all.
Jellyfish have stomachs and mouths,
but no heads. They have nervous systems for sensing the world around them, but
no brains. They are made almost entirely of water, which is why you can look
through them.
Some jellyfish can glow in darkness
by making their own light. The light is made by a chemical reaction inside the
jellyfish. Scientists believe jellyfish glow for several reasons. For example,
they may glow to scare away predators or to attract animals they like to eat.
Most jellyfish live in salt water,
apart from a few types that live in fresh water. Jellyfish are found in oceans
and seas all over the world. They live in warm, tropical seas and in icy waters

Disc jockeys, sometimes called "deejays,"
play music on the radio. They also talk about the news, sports, and weather.
Sometimes, they make commercials, talk with guests, and tell what's going on in
the community.
Disc jockeys work for radio
stations, often in small rooms called studios. These rooms are air-conditioned
and soundproof. Full-time disc jockeys talk on the radio 5 or 6 days a week for
about 4 hours at a time.
Most disc jockeys need to
be able to ad-lib, which means talk without a script. They also need to keep
track of time so that they can fit music, talk, and commercials into a strict
schedule. But the job is more than talking on the radio. Every day, disc
jockeys must prepare for the radio show. Many disc jockeys write or edit the
scripts that they read on air. Sometimes they write commercials too. Some disc
jockeys find people to interview. And some make public appearances at schools
and parties.
Disc jockeys at small radio
stations often work with equipment to play music and adjust sound.
Because many radio stations
are on air 24 hours a day, disc jockeys usually don't work regular hours. They

An ecosystem is a community of living things
interacting with each other and their surroundings. It can be anything from a
piece of ritting wood to a huge swamp.
In every ecosystem, each organism depends on the
others. When vegetation colonizes an area, the first plants to grow there are
small and simple, such as mosses and lichens. Grass and sadges appear next. The
simple plants stabilize the soil so that bigger and more complex plants can
move in. This is called vegetation succession.
Rainforest ecosystems cover only 8% of the world’s
plant and animal species.
Green plants are autothrops, or producers, which means
they make their own food. Animals are heterothrops, or consumers, which means
they get their food from other living things. Primary consumers are herbivores
that eat plants. Secondary consumers are carnivores that eat herbivores or each
other.
Farming has a huge effect on natural ecosystems. It
reduces the number of species dramatically.

health assistance had not yet reached the flood-hit locations. The conditions

Bees are flying insects closely related to wasps and
ants, and are known for their role in pollination and for producing honey and
beeswax. There are nearly 20,000 known species of bees in nine recognized
families though many are undescribed and the actual number is probably higher.
They are found on every continent except Antarctica, in every habitat on the
planet that contains insect-pollinated flowering plants.
Bees have a long proboscis (a complex
"tongue") that enables them to obtain the nectar from flowers. They
have antennae almost universally made up of 13 segments in males and 12 in
females, as is typical for the super family. Bees all have two pairs of wings,
the hind pair being the smaller of the two; in a very few species, one sex or
caste has relatively short wings that make flight difficult or impossible, but
none are wingless.
The smallest bee is Trigona minima, a stingless bee
whose workers are about 2.1 mm (5/64") long. The largest bee in the world
is Megachile pluto, a leafcutter bee whose females can attain a length of 39 mm
(1.5"). Members of the family Halictidae, or sweat bees, are the most
common type of bee in the Northern Hemisphere, though they are small and often
mistaken for wasps or flies.

A pair of crows had made their nest on a big tree.
Each time the mother crow laid eggs and hatched them, a cruel snake that lived
at the hollow at the bottom of the tree trunk would come out. Then, he would
eat up the young ones. The crow couple felt sad at the loss of their young
ones.
One day the mother crow saw the snake approaching her
nest. She cawed loudly for help as she saw the snake nearing her young ones.
She tried to chase away the snake, but all was in vain. The snake ate up all
the young crows and the unhatched eggs. The mother crow mourned for this great
loss. She cried her heart out. The other crows joined her sorrow.
An old and wise crow thought deeply and replied,
“Don’t worry, I have a plan. Tomorrow many ladies from the royal family will
come to the river for a dip. They will keep all their precious jewellery and
clothes aside before they get into the river for a swim. Their belongings would
be watched from a distance by some royal guards. When you get a chance, you
must pick a piece of precious jewellery and fly off. The others should make a
lot of noise to attrack attention of the guards. Once you are noticed flying
away with the jewellery, you should quickly fly to the tree and drop the
precious jewellery in the snake’s hollow. They will try to reclaim the precious
jewellery from the snake’s hollow. Thus the snake would surely die at their
hands.”
The crows agreed to the plan and the next morning
mother crow flew to river. She saw some ladies swimming in the river and their
jewellery lying aside.
The mother crow did as the old crow had advised, and
all the plans succeeded. She dropped the jewellery in the snake hollow. The
guards beat the cruel snake with their spears until he died and retrieved the
necklace from the hollow.

There is a Chinese story of an old farmer who had an
old horse for tilling his fields.
One day the horse escaped into the hills and, when all
the farmer’s neighbours sympathised with the old man over his bad luck, the
farmer replied, ‘Bad luck? Good luck? Who knows?’
A week later the horse returned with a herd of wild
horses from the hills and this time the neighbors congratulated the farmer on
his good luck. His reply was, ‘Good luck? Bad luck? Who knows?’
Then, when the farmer’s son was attempted to tame one
of the wild horses, he fell off its back and broke his leg. Everyone thought
this very bad luck. Not the farmer, whose only reaction was, ‘Bad luck? Good
luck? Who knows?’
Some weeks later the army marched into the village and
conscripted every able-bodied youth they found there. When they saw the
farmer’s son with his broken leg they let him off. Now was that good luck? Bad
luck? Who knows?

bamboo. It is a tall treelike grass. There are more than 350 species. Most grow
in Asia on islands of the Indian and Pacific oceans. Although bamboo is a
tropical plant, it can grow in a cooler temperate zones.

feet (0.9 meter) around. Sprouts grow fast, at times 1 foot (0.3 meter) or more
a day. They may grow to 30, 50, or even 130 feet (9 to 40 meters) in height.
Near the top are many branches. Some species do not bloom for 60 years or more.
Bamboo products range from food to
houses. Asian people usually use the sprouts as vegetables. In East and
Southeast Asia people use the hollow stems for water pipes and for building
bridges and houses. Short sections serve as pails and cooking utensils. The
stems make for walls, floors, and roofs. Thinner strips are woven into mats,
chairs, cages, and curtains. Bamboo fishing rods are made of mathced strips
glued together. Split bamboo is also used for chopsticks and fan ribs. The
inner parts of the stems of several species are made into quality papers.

MAKING CANDLES
Making coloured and scented
candles is really quick and simple. What's more, you'll save so much money. If
making candle is easy, why do you ever buy one from a shop? What you need in
making candle are wax, moulds, wick, dye discs, essential oils, and a double
boiler. All these materials are available from craft shops. Or if you do not
want to buy them, you can improvise with an old saucepan, Pyrex jug, or even a
sturdy can, in a pot of water. After providing the materials, follow this
procedure or instruction in making candles!
First of all, melt the wax.
All wax has a flash point, so to prevent it bursting into flames; you must melt
it in a double boiler, with water in the bottom of the pan.
Then, prepare the mould
with the wick. Thread the wick through the mould and make sure that you leave a
good few centimeters sticking out of the hole in the bottom.
After that, add the scent.
If you want a scented candle, add a few drops of essential oil to the melted
wax. You can use any essential oil you like, as long as it doesn't contain
water.
Next step, pour the wax
into the mould. Try and tip the wax into the mould quickly, all in one go, to
minimize spillage and air bubbles.
Then, release the bubbles
and top it up. Releasing the air bubbles will eventually make the candle sink,
so you will need to top it up with more melted wax.
Finally, remove it from the
mould. After four or five hours, the candle can be taken out of its mould.
Your candle is now ready for display. Remember, you
must always leave it for a day before lighting it.
Where can you buy the materials for making candle?
At the handicraft shop.
At the super market.
At the stall.
At the craft shop.
