Fact: Spread across 50 sq. km (20 sq. miles.) there are more than 1200 similar shaped mounds covered in green grass. The hills turn brown during the dry season. Fable: There was once a giant water buffalo, as tall as a small mountain. The buffalo used to eat up all the crops in the fields of the neighbouring villages. So the villagers decided to trick it by offering it huge piles of spoilt food. The buffalo gulped the food but soon fell sick. It ran all over the place, leaving behind it’s enormous droppings. The feces dried and came to be known as the chocolate hills! Moral: Be careful when accepting a gift or favor from an enemy. Fact: A huge tower of rock that rises suddenly from the ground and has Bear Rock (Devils Tower strange markings on it’s sides. Monument), USA Fable: Long ago a group of seven girls went out to play in the forest. They were spotted by several giant bears, who began to chase them. The girls barely escaped by climbing a small rock. But the bears began to dig their claws into the rock and climb it. The girls prayed to the Great Spirit to save them. Hearing their prayers, the Great Spirit made the rock rise from the ground towards the heaven. The bears, began to slip down the slopes and left deep claw marks in the sides of the mountain. When the girls reached the sky, they were turned into the star constellation called the Pleiades (seven sisters). Moral: If you plan to mess with wild bears, you better have someone to answer your prayers. Socotra Island, Yemen Fact: This island is teeming with more than 700 extremely rare species of plants and animals, a full 1/3 of which are found nowhere else on Earth.

The tribes prayed to the Goddess of Rain, until she took pity. She told them that she would create a great lake that would be invisible to sun. And as the tribes watch a huge rock grew up in the middle of the desert. The tribes were con- fused. But soon realised that the Uluru’s runoff from the rain, lies deep-set in the sand at it’s base or is held in the roots of desert scrub that grow around it. In a way, the Uluru was an inverted lake.

History of swimming lthough humans have been swimming for thousands of years , swimming only became a competitive sport in the 1800s. today swimming is the third most-watched sport in the Olympic games. Matthew Web was an expert in swimming and in 1875 he was the first one to cross the English Chan- A and the big surprise is that it took him more than 21 hours and 47 minutes to pass the channel nel , and 31 years must pass so that someone else that is an expert in swimming could pass the English Channel. In the first modern Olympic games in 1896, only men could compete in swimming and they were allowed to compete in only 4 swimming events , they always competed in the Mediterranean sea because there was no other space for them to compete . four years later in the 1900 summer games in Paris , all swimming event such as obstacle course were contested in the rivers. Women and swimming : For special rea- sons , women were not al- lowed to share in the Olympic swimming games. But that year, women made their own Olympic swimming game, racing in the 100 meter freestyle and the 4 x 100 meter freestyle relay. In 1926 , Gertrude Ederle a girl at the age of 19 passed the English Channel in more than 23 hours and 51 minutes , she beat the contemporary men’s record by two hours and was really known . 72 Life Lesson Learn These Three : Ride a Horse , Learn to Shoot, Learn to Swim.

Odd and bizarre Blobfish Perhaps it's Strange but real—Blobfish unfair to judge a fish out of water, but the blobfish looks more like a ball of slime than a living creature. Blobfish live deep in the ocean, where pressures are exceedingly high. In fact, the blobfish's gelati- nous appear- ance is actually a brilliant adap- tation — its gooey, pudding- like flesh allows it to stay buoy- ant at depths where gaseous bladders can't function. The blobfish (Psychrolutes marcidus) is a deep sea fish of the family Psychrolutidae. Inhabiting the deep wa- ters off the coasts of mainland Australia and Tasmania, it is rarely seen by humans. Blobfish live at depths between 600–1,200 m (2,000–3,900 ft) where the pressure is several dozen times higher than at sea level, which would likely make gas bladders inefficient for maintaining buoyancy. Instead, the flesh of the blobfish is primarily a gelatinous mass with a density slightly less than water; this allows the fish to float above the sea floor without expending energy on swimming. Its relative lack of muscle is not a disadvantage as it primarily swallows edible matter that floats in front of it. Blobfish eat invertebrates like crabs and sea pens Blobfish can be caught by bottom trawling with nets as bycatch. Such trawling in the waters off Australia may threaten the blobfish in what may be its only habitat.

Cartoon review…... Top 5 Cartoons top watch 1-The Amazing World of Gumball Gumball is a blue cat he is very dumb. He has a sister named Anais a pink rabbit who is the youngest in the family but the smartest and an orange pet fish named Darwin. Gumball and Darwin are always get them- selves into trouble especially with their dad. Their dad is always lazy and he mostly sleeps on the couch. Their mum is very strong and aggressive but only when somebody makes her angry . Why I like it I like Gumball because it is funny and stupid. Most of the people are dumb. But it’s strange as well. Weird stuff always happen especially when you are not ex- pecting it but I think it’s a great show. 2- SpongeBob SquarePants SpongeBob is a very famous cartoon of a yellow sponge that lives under the sea ad in a pineapple and in some episodes he is really smart and others he is really stupid but I think it is because of Patrick star, his best friend. It is a funny cartoon but it really is confusing. Why I like it I love funny and silly things and stuff that are weird as well then if you like stuff like that then SpongeBob is the perfect show for you. 88

3-Ed, Edd n Eddy Ed, Edd n Eddy is a show about three boys who try to scam people to get “Jawbreakers”. They go through a lot and all the kids of the cul-de-sac hate them except for Johnny, who likes everybody especially Ed, who isn’t any smarter. Ed is actually dumber than him and Ed has a little sister named Sarah who is very mean to the Ed’s Why I like it I like it because it’s funny especially when their dumb scams fail and what kind of scams they make it’s a very silly show A list of cartoons that are on the networks for 2013. Phineas and Ferb since 2007 The Looney Tunes Show Since 2011 Young Justice since 2011 The Powerpuff Girls 1998 - 2005 Generator Rex since 2010 The Regular show since 2012 Johnny Bravo 1997 -2004 Ben 10 2005- 2008 Chowder 2007 -2010 SpongeBob Square Pants since 1999 The Grim Adventure of Billy and Mandy 2003 -2008 Gravity Falls since 2012 Dexters Laboratory 1996 - 2003 The Marvelous Misadventures of FlapJack (2008 -2010) Ed, Edd n Eddy 1999 - 2009 The Amazing World of Gumball since 2011 Scooby Doo Since 1969 Adventure Time since 2010 4-Regular show Regular show is a cartoon with a blue jay called Mordocai and a brown raccoon Rigsby. They are both v...e...r...y lazy and they spend most of their time playing video games but only when their boss Benson isn’t watching them. They also always count on Skips a strange muscle bond white money looking goon, to solve almost all their problems. Why I like it I like it because it’s funny especially when Rigby says “ahhhhhh….. stop talking…… your making me tired”. And things happen suddenly when you don’t expect it. My dad likes it too. 5-Chowder Chowder is a …… well he’s a purple boy. He works in Mung Daals kitchen, he loves food so much and eats almost everything he sees. Well the whole show is about food and other things; it is also very funny and strange. Mung has the biggest nose ever and Schnit- zel is extremely strong and can lift about anything and truffles is a mushroom fairy who shouts a lot. Why I like it. I like it because I love food a lot and because I love silly things and it makes me laugh a lot. Hafsah Grayson. 89
