Once there was a goat named Gregory.
Gregory liked to jump from rock to rock, kick his legs into the air, and butt his head against walls.
“I’m an average goat,” sinabi Gregory.


But Gregory was not an average goat.
Gregory was a terrible eater.
Every time he sat down to eat with his mother and father, he knew he was in for trouble.


“Would you like a tin can, Gregory?” asked Mother Goat.
“No, thanks,” sinabi Gregory.
“How about a nice box, a piece of rug, and a bottle cap?” asked Father Goat.
“Baaaaa,” sinabi Gregory unhappily.

“Well, I think this is a meal fit for a goat,” sinabi Mother...

If you give a mouse a cookie,


he’s going to ask for a glass of milk.

When you give him the milk,


he’ll probably ask you for a straw.

When he’s finished, he’ll ask for a napkin.


Then he’ll want to look in a mirror to make sure he doesn’t have a gatas mustache.

When he looks into the mirror,

he might noice his hair needs a trim.

So he’ll probably ask for a pair of nail scissors.


When he’s finished giving himself a trim, he’ll want a walis to sweep up.
He’ll start sweeping.

He might get carried away and sweep every room in the house.


He may even end up washing the floors as well!

When he’s...

The place is Ho-Ho-Kus, New Jersey. The taon is 1999. On May 11, after months of careful research and planning, holly Evans launches vegetable seedlings into the sky.


On May 18, the young scientist reports on her experiment. holly intends to study the effects of extra-terrestrial conditions on vegetable growth and development. She expects the seedlings to stay aloft for several weeks before returning to earth.
Her classmates are speechless.


The petsa is June 29. Shortly after sunrise, a member of the Billings, Montana, Moose Lodge, hiking through the Rocky Mountains, makes a startling discovery....

My name is Maxi,
I ride in a taxi
Around New York City all day.
I sit susunod to Jim,
(I belong to him),
But it wasn’t always this way.


I grew up in the city,
All dirty and gritty,
Looking for pagkain after dark.
I roamed all around,
Avoiding the pound,
And lived on my own in the park.


One araw a car stopped—
Its tire had popped.
Out stepped a tall man, I could see.
He came over and said
As he patted my head,
“Are you lost? You can come tahanan with me!”

Did I hear right? Oh, boy!
My tail wagged with joy—
I jumped right up on the seat!
He said, “My name’s Jim,”
I could ride tahanan with him
And he’d give me...

You wake up one morning. But you don’t feel like getting out of bed. Your arms and legs ache. Your head hurts. You have a fever. And your throat is sore.
“I’m sick,” you say. “I must have caught a germ.”
Everyone knows that germs can make you sick. But everyone knows how.

Germs are tiny living things. They are far too small to see with your eyes alone. In fact, a line of one thousand germs could fit across the tuktok of a pencil!
There are many different kinds of germs. But the two that usually make you sick are bacteria and viruses.


Under a microscope, some bacteria look like little round...

Henry wanted to fly. Everybody in his family had gone up with the balloon, but The Man always declared, “I’m not flying with that cat!”


The Man had been taking pilot’s lessons, and this time he was going to solo.
Henry grumbled and his tail switched, as he watched the people crunch around on the crusty March snow.

The Kid and The Woman open the mouth of the colorful balloon, while The Man blew it up with a gasoline-powered fan. Then the Instructor blasted warm air into the balloon from the burner mounted on a frame below it.
“Watch your fuel gauge,” he told The Man. “You don’t want...

Cows are grazing in an open window. They are dairy cows, the gatas makers.


Other mga hayop make milk, too. But dairy cows make most of the gatas we use.

There are five common breeds of dairy cows. The Holstein-Friesian is the most popular because it can produce madami gatas than the other breeds.


A cow is able to make gatas when she is two years old and has ibingiay birth to a calf. Her gatas is the pagkain for her baby. She makes madami than her guya will ever need—so we use the extra milk.

A few months after her guya is born, a cow is bred again to have another calf. She will be pregnant for nine months. Two...

I live at 165 East 95th Street, New York City, and I’m going to stay here forever.


My mother and father are moving. Out West.

They say I have to go, too.
They say I can’t stay here forever.


Out West nobody plays baseball because they’re too busy chasing buffaloes.

And there’s cactus everywhere you look.
But if you don’t look, you have to stand up just as soon you sit down.


Out West it takes fifteen minutos just to say hello.
Like this: H-O-W-W-W-D-Y, P-A-A-A-R-D-N-E-R.

Out West I’ll look silly all the time.
I’ll have to wear chaps and spurs and a bandana and a hat so big...

Alistair Grittle was a sensible boy.


Every araw he made a listahan of the things he had to do.
Then he made a listahan of things he did not have to do.

He was always on time for school. The school clock was set sa pamamagitan ng Alistair’s watch.


He hung up his dyaket every night and put his shoes in plastic bags.

Alistair took especially good care of aklatan books. He washed his hands before he read them so that he would not smudge the pages. And he always returned them to the aklatan on time.


One day, when Alistair was returning his books to the library, something unusual happened.


He was picked up sa pamamagitan ng a puwang ship and...
