The Wind and the Sun
One day the
wind and the sun were disputing which was teh stronger. Suddenly, they saw a
traveler coming down the road
The Sun : I see a way to settle our dispute.
Whichever of us can cause that traveler to take off his cloak shall be regarded
as the stronger
The Wind : Would
you mind not talking so loudly ?
The Sun : Sorry,
Okay, you begin. I will retire behind a cloud
The Wind : I
will blow as hard as I could and I’ll be the winner
The Sun : Okay,
Good Luck
The Wind : zzzzzzzzzzz
I’m so tired. I shouldn’t give up. I have to blow harder..... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
But the harder
he blew, the more closely did the traveler wrap his cloak aroound him, tilll at
last the wind had to five up in despair. Then the sun came out and shone in all
his glory upon the traveler, who soon found it too hot to walk with his cloak
on.

the ministry did not say whether or not all his chickens were dead.
Ant eaters are perhaps the most curious looking
animals. Their long head and snout look like tubes and they have no teeth at
all. Their front legs are very strong and armed with heavy curved claws with
which the break open the nets of ants and termites and then, when the insects rush
out, the ant eaters use their long sticky tongues to lick them up at great speed.
True ant-eaters are found in the swamps and forests
of Central and South America. Scaly ant eaters or pangolins are found in Africa
and tropical Asia.
Insect eating animals are sometimes called
ant-eaters, although they actually, belong to other groups of animals. One of
them is the ant-bear, which lives on the plains of south and Central Arica. It
has long, erect ears, but short blunt claws, an almost hairless tail and is
yellow brown in color. Unlike the true ant-eaters, it has small teeth
Abortion : Legal or Illegal
There has been a great deal of discussion on the
problem of abortion. The discussion includes : “Is abortion legal or illegal?”
When a country faces the problem of
overpopulation, the government applied some methods to solve it. One of them is
the method of contraception. However this method is not one hundred percent effective and
successful. Consequently, some people argue that the abortion is the only effective
way out.
Nevertheless, abortion may cause many negative
effects for women’s health. Women risk their health and lives in bearing the
weight of the operation and its consequences. The most common complications are
inflammation, infertility, endometriosis and many other kinds of evary
illnesses.
So far, abortions have become a dilemma for
countries with a large number of citizens.

How is Dust Useful to Us?
Most people think that dust is very
harmful to us. But this is not true. Dust is, in fact, very useful and
therefore, it is essential to know what dust is and how it is formed.
Every solid substance is composed of very
small particles. When these small particles of matter are scattered, they
become dust particles. For example, if we go on breaking a brick or a stone
into small pieces, it will turn into small particles. These particles get mixed
with air and they are called dust particles. The air then carries dust
particles from one place to another.
There are different ways by which dust is
formed. When solid substance breaks, dust is formed. Smoke generated by the
burning of coal, wood, petrol, etc. Also produces fust. Dust particles also
come from dead plants, sea salt, desert, volcanic sand, etc. The particles of
the earth’s surface also fly
in the air in the form of dust.
The biggest use of the dust particles is
that they help in the formation of the rains. The water vapors in the clouds
condenses on the dust condenses on the dust particles in the form of
water-drops. These drops fall on the earth as rains. The absence of dust
particles can delay the rain. Likewise, mist, fog, etc. Are also formed due to
the presence of dust particles.
