In 490 B.C. there was a big war between the Persians and the Greeks. Persia was a huge empire and bigger than Greece. There were 48000 Persian soldiers and only 10000 Greek soldiers. The Greek sent a messenger to Sparta for help. The messenger ran two days over the mountains. But the Spartans could not fight until there was full moon. The messenger returned the Marathon alone. The Greek attacked the Persian army and won. The messenger ran 40 kilometers to Athens to tell that they won. He arrived at the city very tired. “We won!” he shouted. Then he died.

“Ten steps from the porch and twenty steps from the rose bushes,” growled Bluebeard in Jimmy’s dream one night. “Treasure is there!” The next day Jimmy began to dig. He dug until the hole was deep. He kept digging. The hole got deeper and the dirt pile got higher. He dug until the hole was deepest and dirt pile was at its highest. He sighed. “I’m too tired. I can’t dig anymore.” Then he spied something… but it was only one of Woofy’s bones. Instead of treasure, all Jimmy found a dog bone. He thought “That pirate lied to me!” But when Jimmy’s mother saw the hole, she clasped her hands and smiled. “Oh, thank you, Jimmy. I always wanted a rhododendron bush planted just there. Here’s $5.00 for digging that hole.”

We can use a thermometer to find out how cold or hot it is outside. Some kinds of thermometers have a glass tube with liquid inside. When the air around the tube gets warmer, the liquid moves up inside the tube. When the air around the tube gets colder, the liquid moves down inside the tube.
The numbers on the thermometer show how cold or hot it is outside.
Some places get cold in winter. When the number on the thermometer is -20 people wear warm clothes. Some places get warm in the spring. When the number on the thermometer is +20 some people may plant flowers in their garden. Some places get hot in summer. When the number on the thermometer is +30 some people may go swimming. Some places get cool in the fall. When the number on the thermometer is -10 some people may rake leaves.

The Sun’s smile grew hotter and hotter. Now he took it off. The Sun was declared stronger than the Wind.

One summer a grasshopper met some ants. They were working very hard. He couldn't believe how hard they were working. “They must have fun in summer?!” he thought. So he asked them, "Why are you working so hard all summer long, you must have fun, making music and dancing!" The ants replied, "We are working hard to gather food and shelter for winter. Then we will rest and play all warm in our ant hill. You must prepare for the long winter." "That's no fun! I want to play and dance and make music all summer long!" said the Grasshopper and went.
So the summer passed and autumn came. The family of Ants was drying the grain. The Grasshopper came along. He began making fun of the ants. "You're still working but I’m playing all summer long - you ants are so boring!" And he went again, playing his fiddle and dancing merrily along.
276 Part III Soon winter came and the wind whistled and the snow fell. The ants were snug in their ant hill. The ants were surprised to see the Grasshopper! He was hungry and freezing. "Please, can you give me some food?" he said. "What!" cried the Ants, "didn’t you store anything away for winter?" "I was so busy making music didn’t know the summer went." whined the Grasshopper. The Ants were angry for his laziness but had pity on him. "We will share our home and food with you but you must play your fiddle and dance for us through the long winter." The Grasshopper thankfully agreed and learned that next summer he must work before he plays.
