Frogs live on land and in water. Frogs have long back legs and short bodies. Their eyes stick out. They do not have tails.
Most of the time they move in the water, but they can also move on land. Frogs have smooth, not bumpy, skin. They can
breathe through their skin. Their skin must stay wet so they can breathe through it. Young frogs must breathe through their
skin. Older frogs grow lungs. They breathe through their lungs when they are on land, just like people do. Frogs lay their
eggs in ponds and other bodies of water, like lakes.
Frogs must move fast to catch something to eat. They must also get away from bigger animals. Some frogs have webs
of skin between their toes. Webbed toes are good because it helps them to swim very fast. Tree frogs have toe pads. The

Many people worked to create television. In 1862, Abbe Giovanna Caselli invented a machine called the Pantelograph.
Caselli was the first person to send a picture over wires. By the 1880s, Alexander Graham Bell invented a machine that
transmitted pictures and sound over wires. His machine was called the Photophone. The World’s Fair was held in Paris,
France, in the year 1900. The first International Congress of Electricity was held at the World’s Fair. That was when the word
television was first used – by a Russian named Constantin Perskyi. That name stuck, and is now shortened to “TV.”
At the beginning of TV history, there were several types of TV technology. One system was a mechanical model based on
a rotating disc. (Rotating discs are discs that spin like CDs.) The other system was an electronic model. In 1906, Boris Rosing
built the first working mechanical TV in Russia. In the 1920s, John Logie Baird in England and Charles Francis Jenkins in the
United States demonstrated improved mechanical systems. Philo Taylor Farnsworth also showed an electronic system in
San Francisco in 1927. His TV was the forerunner of today’s TV, which is an electronic system based on his ideas.
Now TV is everywhere. Before 1947, there were only a few thousand televisions in the U.S. By the
1990s, there were televisions in 98% of American homes.

One day, King Solomon was out hunting when he noticed two snakes engaged in a fight. The larger snake was white
and shining. The other was smaller and black with long poisonous fangs. Just as the black snake was about to give its
opponent a fatal bite, the king grabbed up a stone and killed it. Safe at last, the white snake went off into the trees.

the black snake was an enemy who had been trying to poison him. In the course of the battle, both have changed into
snakes.

gift of healing?’
‘I’m already rich enough,’ replied the king, ‘and the other gift would be suitable for a doctor.’
‘Well, what do you want?’ asked the giant. ‘Wisdom,’ replied the king.

Dolphins are marine mammals closely related to whales and porpoises. They have a streamlined body adapted for
fast swimming. The tail fin, called the fluke, is used for propulsion, while the pectoral fins together with entire tail section
provide directional control. The dorsal fin, in those species that have one, provide stability while swimming. Though it varies
by species, basic coloration patterns are shades of grey, usually with a lighter underside, often with lines and patches of
different hue and contrast.
The head contains the melon, a round organ used for echolocation. In many species, elongated jaws form a distinct
beak; species such as the bottlenose have a curved mouth which looks like a fixed smile. Some species have up to 250 teeth.
Dolphins breathe through a blowhole on top of their head. The dolphin brain is large and highly complex, and is different in
tructure from that of most land mammals.
