Venice is a city in northern Italy. It has been known as the “Queen of the
Adriatic”, “City of Bridges”, and “The City of Light”. The city stretches across
117 small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in
northeast Italy.
Venice is world famous for its canals. It is built on an archipelago of 117
islands formed by about 150 canals in a shallow lagoon. The islands on which
the city is built are connected by about 400 bridges. In the old centre, the canals
serve the function of roads, and every form of transport is on water or on foot.
You can ride gondola there. It is the classical Venetian boat which
nowadays is mostly used for tourists, or weddings, funerals, or other ceremonies.
Now, most Venetians travel by motorised waterbuses which ply regular routes
along the major canals and between the city’s islands. The city has many private
boats. The only gondolas still in common use by Venetians are the Traghetti,
foot passenger ferries crossing the Grand Canal at certain points without
bridges.

Dear Icha,
How’s life? Thanks for the letter telling about your holiday activities. Here, I want
to tell you about mine.
Last holiday, my family and I went to the beach. We wanted to release the baby sea
turtles from the Goa Cemara shore.
Goa Cemara is located in Bantul, Yogyakarta. The walk to the beach was pretty far,
but very shady. It felt like we were in the Twilight movie scenes, a great for photo
shoots! We adopted 5 baby turtles. Each turtle cost 10,000 rupiahs. The baby turtles
were just hatched. They were so cute. I chose my turtle and named it Anjo. My sister Fia
also chose one and named it Wora. Anjo and friends were very skittish in the box, and
then right when we set them in the sand, they immediately got still. They did not make
any movements.
We entered Anjo in the race. We were told by our guide that before the race began,
we should face the little babies south so that when they came out to shore at night, they
would remember which way to go. Cool, isn’t it? And the race began. I could see how
energetic they were. What I noticed was that when they hit the water and were pushed
back by the waves, the turtles ran faster as if knowing what was ahead of them. They
were just about to get swept away by the ocean. It was my unforgettable experience
with the baby sea turtles.
Best wishes, Swastika

Pied-Piper of
Hamelin
The town of Hamelin was suffering from a terrible plague of rats. The town council
tried everything to get rid of them, but couldn’t. At last, the Mayor promised a big
reward to anybody who could put an end to the plague.
A stranger dressed in bright clothes arrived and said he could rid Hamelin of the rats.
At night, the stranger began playing a tune on his flute, drawing all the rats out of the
houses and barns and into the river, where they drowned.
The Mayor would not pay the piper because he said that playing a flute was not
worth
the reward. He ordered the piper to leave Hamelin.

The culture of Asia is human civilization in Asia. It features different kinds of cultural
heritage of many nationalities, societies, and ethnic groups in the region, traditionally called a
continent from a Western-centric perspective, of Asia. The region or “continent” is more
commonly divided into more natural geographic and cultural sub regions, including Central
Asia, East Asia, North Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia and West Asia. Although Asia is not a
distinct continent geographically, there has been little unity or common history for many of the
cultures and peoples of Asia. Asian art, music, and cuisine, as well as literature, are important
parts of Asian culture. Eastern philosophy and religion also plays a major role, with
Hinduism, Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, Judaism and Islam all playing major roles. One
of the most complex parts of Asian culture is the relationship between traditional cultures and
the Western world.
Other cultural differences throughout Asia are Asian people’s adaptations to the climate
zones of Asia, subtropical or tropical. The ethnic groups have adapted to mountains, deserts,
grasslands, and forests. On the coasts of Asia, the ethnic groups have adopted various
methods of harvest and transport. Some groups are primarily hunter-gatherers, some practice
transhumance (nomadic lifestyle), others have been agrarian/rural for millennia and others are
becoming industrial/urban. Some groups/countries of Asia are completely urban (Singapore
and Hong Kong). The colonization of Asia was largely ended in the twentieth century, with
national drives for independence and self-determination across the continent.
Adapted from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_of_Asia

Hot Air Balloons by Mark Marchant
People first experienced flying by using a hot air balloon. The first-ever
recorded hot air balloon flight was in France in the summer of 1783. Two brothers,
Joseph and Etienne Montgolfer, experimented with paper models heated by hot air at
their family’s paper factory. On the day of their launch, thousands of people turned out
to watch the Montgolfer balloon take off. The French King Louis XVI was among the
crowd. The balloon’smaiden flight was a great success. Hot air ballooning became an
instant national triumph for France. The French nation loved the Montgolfers, who
were seen as a shining example of the country’s new age of adventure and invention.
However, the Montgolfer brothers were not on board their balloon. The passengers in
the hot air balloon included a duck, a sheep and a chicken! A couple of months later, on
21 November 1783, two brave men called Marquis Francois d’Arlandes and Pilatre
de Rozier enteredthe history books as the world’s first people to take safely to the air.
The Montgolfer’s design of a hot air balloon is similar to the designs still in use
today. Hot air balloons work on a very basic scientific theory. Warm air rises up through
cooler air. Warm air in the balloon makes the hot air balloon rise up through the cooler
air surrounding it. To stay airborne, the balloon needs to remain hotter than the
surrounding air. As the air inside the balloon cools, the balloon drops slowly towards
the ground. A gas-powered burner underneath the balloon warms up the air inside the
balloon and makes it rise again.

Firefly or Lightning Bug Photinus pyralis
The Pyralis firefly (also known as the lightning bug) is a common firefly in North
America. This partly nocturnal, luminescent beetle is the most common firefly in the USA.
At night, the very end (the last abdominal segment) of the firefly glows a bright yellow-
green color. The firefly can control this glowing effect. The brightness of a single
firefly is 1/40 of a candle. Fireflies use their glow to attract other fireflies. Males
flash about every five seconds; females flash about every two seconds. This firefly is
harvested by the biochemical industry for the organic compunds luciferin (which is the
chemical the firefly uses for its bioluminescence).
This flying insect is about 0.75 inch (2 cm) long. It is mostly black, with two red spots
on the head cover; the wing covers and head covers are lined in yellow. Like all insects,
it has a hard exoskeleton, six jointed legs, two antennae, compound eyes, and a body
divided into three parts (the head, thorax, and abdomen).
Both the adults and the larvae are carnivores. They eat other insects (including other
fireflies), insect larvae, and snails.

Once upon a time, on the banks of a river, Turtle played her flute. When Turtle
played, all the animals listened. Lions, elephants, butterflies, snakes and monkeys
danced to Turtle’s music. One day a man heard Turtle’s music. “Ahh,” he thought,
“that must be Turtle making music. Turtle would taste very good right now.” So he
called out, “Turtle! Show me your beautiful flute.” Turtle slowly walked to him and held
out her flute. But the moment the man saw Turtle, he grabbed her by the neck and
began to run. Turtle tried to cry for help, but she couldn’t make a sound. She closed her
eyes, holding tightly to her flute for good luck.
When the man reached his hut, he put Turtle into a cage and shut it. Then he turned
to his children. “Don’t let Turtle out of her cage.” And off he went to the fields. The
children began to play outside. Turtle sat very still inside her cage, thinking about the
man’s words. She began to play a sweet tune on her flute, and the children ran to the
cage. “Is that you playing, Turtle?” they asked, their eyes wide with wonder. “Yes,”
Turtle said. She kept on playing, for she could see the children were delighted. At last
she stopped. “I can dance even better than I can play,” she said. “Would you like to
see?” “Oh, please!” the little boy cried. “I’ll show you how to dance and play at the
same time,” said Turtle, “but you must open the cage. There is no room in here.”
So the little child opened the cage and Turtle began to dance and play. The children
laughed and clapped their hands, for never had they seen such a wonderful thing. Then
Turtle stopped. “Don’t stop!” the children cried. “Oh,” Turtle groaned, “my legs are
stiff. If I could just walk a little bit to loosen them ...” “Don’t go too far,” the little girl
cautioned. “Come right back.” “Never fear,” said Turtle. “You wait right here.” Turtle
crawled off toward the jungle. The moment she was out of sight, she raced all the way
back to her house. Nobody ever found Turtle again. But to this day, if you stretch your
ear, you can listen to the sweet sound of a flute in the forest.

Hay fever can occur all year round but it is traditionally worse in the spring months
when the pollen count in the air is high. Hay fever is a common name for allergic
rhinitis – meaning an allergy in the nose. The allergic reaction causes the nasal passages
to become inflamed and produce more mucous. Some of the common symptoms are :
sneezing; runny or stuffy nose; itchy ears ,nose and throat; red, itchy and watery eyes
and sometimes headaches.
Tips to try and reduce hay fever symptoms:
1: Stay indoors where possible on windy and stormy days.
2: Smear Vaseline on the inside of your nose to help stop the air-borne pollen touching the
lining of your nose.
3: Splash your eyes often with cold water as this tries to flush out any pollen.
4: Try and reduce contact with known allergens. For example –pet fur, flowers, dust etc.
5: Anti-histamine medications in the form of tablets, nasal sprays and eye drops may
help alleviate symptoms but you need to discuss this with your doctor or pharmacist.

THE ASS, THE FOX, AND THE LION
An Ass and a Fox went into partnership and went out to search for food together.
They hadn’t gone far before they saw a Lion coming their way, at which they were
both extremely frightened.But the Fox thought he saw a way of saving his own skin,
and went boldly up to the Lion and whispered in his ear, “I’ll manage that you shall
get hold of the Ass without any trouble, if you’ll promise to let me go free.” The
Lion agreed to this, and the Fox then rejoined his companion.
Before long it managed to lead him by a hidden pit, which some hunter had dug as a
trap for wild animals, and into which he fell. When the Lion saw that the Ass was
safely caught and couldn’t get away, it was to the Fox that he first turned his
attention, and he soon finished him off, and then at his leisure proceeded to feast
upon the Ass.

Mars is a planet that is easy to spot in the night sky. It is called the Red Planet because
of its fiery red-orange color.

and is much colder. Temperatures do not often rise above freezing, even in summer. It
has only a very thin atmosphere, made up mainly of canbon dioxide gas.
