Dinosaurs lived on the earth for over 140 million years. Then, suddenly, 65 million years ago, all the dinosaurs died, and most of the other animals and plants died along with them. Over 75 per cent of life on earth became extinct. For more than 150 years scientists have tried to find out why. 6. The passenger pigeon was one of the largest and most beautiful members of the pigeon family. It was about forty-five cm long, had narrow wings and a long graceful^ neck.

They did not have the right to speak in public, to vote. They were not allowed to study at most colleges. In most states married women could not own land or houses. Two women, Elizabeth Stanton and Lucretia Mott, decided to meet with other women to try to change laws and customs. In 1848 women from all over the country met to discuss women’s rights. After their meeting where all men and women were declared equal, women began to speak publicly about their rights: the right to own and sell property, to get education, to work at any job or in any profession, to vote; in fact to be equal with men. Many years passed before women began to receive these rights. Many women understood they had to work together for the rights of all people, be they black or white, men or women, slaves or free.

The Princess told the Prince she would do everything he had asked her but when she got home, without thinking, she spoke more than three words to her old father, and (though she was not there to see) no sooner had she spoken the fourth word, than the Chest and the Prince were gone. When the Princess came back to the place where they had been, she couldn’t find them. So now, the poor girl walked and walked in the forest looking for her Prince. At last she came to a little cottage. She looked through the window and saw a clean room with a large table set for dinner. There were no people inside only a whole company of frogs. The Princess knocked and the frogs let her in. She was kind to them and they told her that the Wicked Witch had taken the Prince to a faraway land. They said that the way there was long and dangerous. They didn’t want the Princess to go on her journey but the girl said she would go. So she did. She found the Prince over the glass mountain on the shore of a deep lake. He was sleeping. She told him she had set him free when he was in the iron Chest, she had climbed a glass mountain and had swum over a great deep lake before she found him. The Prince opened his eyes, looked at the Princess. He was so happy she had come! Both of them started on their journey back, that long dangerous journey. After nine days of walking they found they were in the forest where everything had begun. They saw the frogs’ cottage but suddenly it changed. There were beautiful flowers and tall trees everywhere. In the place where the old little cottage had stood there was a huge palace. The Prince and Princess got married. Her old father came to live with them.
