Can you describe the shape of the earth? When a man travels in a space-ship high above the earth, and looks down on it, he sees a big, smooth, shiny ball. The earth is not really a ball because it is a little flat at the north and south. It is not really smooth because there are mountains and valleys but it looks a smooth ball to the man in the space-ship cause he is so far away. It looks shiny cause the sun shine on it. The earth is turning round like a rolling ball. It turns one in 24 hours. This gives us day & night. When it is midday on one side of the earth it is midnight on the other side. The earth is also moving around the sun. The earth takes roughly a year to go around the sun. It taks 365 days in a year. Every fourth year has 366 days. We call this a leap year.
Some men made a special kind of diving ship. The two men got inside & ship let them down into the water. They could see a number of fishes with very strange shapes. They had many colors. They decided to switch off their light. When they had done this, they saw hundreds of little lights. Each fish had its own lights on its body and these lights flashed in the darkness. Now the men understood how the fishes saw each other deep down in the sea. Some had very big mouths which bigger than their bodies! They could swallow very big fishes cause their stomachs could stretch and become very big! Some fishes had big sharp teeth which pointed backwards into their mouths. Some fishes had a little line like a fishing line hanging in front of their jaws. There was a light at the end. When another fish came near cause of the light, it was quickly caught and eaten. They were like fishermen.
