Canada Geese are large blue and white birds. When autumn comes. they have to move to south where
the weather is warmer. The winters are so cold in Canada that the birds will die if they stay there.
Last spring, Bill and a man found sixteen young Canada Geese on his farm. They had lost their way. Bill
thought, "These young birds won"t know what to do in the autumn." He had a small plane and he decided to
teach the birds to follow him. All through the summer, he went on short trips in his plane and the young geese
new after him.
When the cold weather arrived in the autumn,Bill flew to Virginia in the United States. 600 miles South of
his home in Canada. The geese followed him all the way. Bill left the geese in Virginia and he returned home.
This spring,Bill was waiting for the birds to come back. They didn"t arrive, so Bill flew to Virginia to get
them. He looked for them for two weeks but he couldn"t find them. When he arrived back home, he found the
geese waiting for him. They had found their way home without him!

classmates John and Betty to a wonderful picnic place. After lunch, John said they should play football. When
the ball came to Fred, he locked it into some long grass. "I"ll get it." he said and hurried off to find the ball.
Moments later there was a shout and out came Fred holding his leg,"I"ve bitten by a snake!"
As the others rushed over to help. Fred began laughing. "Ha! I"m not really hurt." But Betty didn"t laugh, "I
can"t believe you did that, Fred. I was really frightened for you."
The friends then decided to go for a swim. John and Betty jumped into the water. Fred was standing on a
long rock by the riverbank and said, "Watch me jump." They shouted excitedly as he went under the water, but
as the seconds passed he didn"t come back to the top. The friends became worried. Suddenly they heard Fred"s
laugh, "Won"t you ever learn? I swam behind this tree when I jumped."
"Very funny, Fred?" said John angrily. "Anyway, I"m feeling tired and I"m going for a sleep." Betty joined
him.
Fred, however, moved to a narrow part of the river and jumped in. Although he was a good swimmer, the
water there was moving much faster and Fred found himself dragged away. He managed to catch hold of a tree,
but he was very tired now and with the water still moving very fast, couldn"t pull himself out.
Back at the picnic place, as Betty and John were preparing to sleep, they heard Fred"s cries for help, John

home then."

thought it very important, Dr Naismith is today best known for one thing. He was the inventor of basketball.
Dr James Naismith was born in Canada in 1861 and his first job was at a special sports school in the USA.
One day the school principal told James he was having a problem with the students. Because of heavy snow,
the students could not go outside. He told James that they needed a sport the boys could play indoors and gave
the teacher two weeks to think of something.
It was on the very last day that James came up with his idea. The "birth of basketball" is said to be on
December 21, 1891, when two teams from the school played the first game. It was quite different from the
basketball games of today. It had 9 players on each team and footballs were used instead of basketballs. Soon
after, the game changed to 5 players on each side, using special"basketballs" through nets.
Although Dr Naismith did not live to see basketball become the worldwide game it is today, in 1936, just
three years before his death, basketball became an Olympic sport at the games in Berlin.
