Now Hoki had to build a palace for Princess Jade in one year.
'It must be the best palace in the world,' he thought. -But what colour shall I paint it? Shall I have blue walls? Or would Princess Jade rather have a pink palace? '
　　Hoki thought, then he started to build a blue palace. He took rocks from the sea-shore. He got wood from the forest. He built the walls from the rocks. He made the doors from wood. He painted the walls blue. But Hoki worried about the roof. 'Where am I going
to find so many feathers? ' he asked himself.
　　Hoki used the magic shell to tell a sea bird his story, and about the feathers.
　　'We need our feathers to keep warm,' said the bird, 'but we can give you one feather every day. '
Hoki worked every day and every night building the palace.
Every morning the sea bird gave him more feathers.
'I need three more feathers for the roof,' said Hoki, 'but
Princess jade will be here the day after tomorrow. '
　　'Don't worry,' said the sea bird. 'I'll put three feathers next to the door of the palace tomorrow. '
It was a hot afternoon and Hoki was very tired. 'I'm going to
sleep here on the beach,' he told the sea bird.
　　Hoki was very, very tired. He slept for two days. When Hoki woke up, he saw Princess Jade. She was coming out of the sea on
a crocodile's back. When Princess Jade saw the roof, she said, 'My
palace is not finished! I can't live here forever, but I'll stay until we have a child. Then I must leave you and never come back.
'
　　Princess Jade had a baby son. Then she went back to her father's palace under the sea.
Hoki and his son lived on the land in Japan. The boy became
a very good fisherman. Every evening Hoki went to the beach. He stood next to the sea and called to his wife. Princess Jade did not answer, but Hoki always remembered her!

Fishing


　　People go fishing to get food, or because they like it. In Japan about 20 million people like fishing!
　　People fish in rivers, ponds, lakes and in the sea. Some people catch fish in fishing nets on a boat. There are different kinds
of nets, and the boats are different sizes, too. Small boats go nearer the shore. They leave in the morning and come back at night. Big ships go to the deep sea and sometimes they do not come back for months. In 1986 some fishermen in a boat from Norway caught more than 120 million fish at the same time in one net! China and Japan catch enormous numbers of fish each year. In 1991 China caught
13. 3 million tonnes of fish. A tonne is 1,000 kilograms.
Some people catch fish with a fishing rod. A fishing rod has
a line and a hook on the end. Some people put bread or worms on the hook, but some people put a fly on the hook. The fly is made
of feathers!
　　In 1959 a fisherman from Australia caught a great white shark with a fishing rod. The shark weighed 1,208 kilograms and was 5.
13 metres long.

Sharks


There are more than 300 different kinds of sharks.
　　They live in the sea all round the world, but most sharks live in warm water, like the sea round China.
　　Sharks often swim near the surface of the water. You can see their back fin above the water. It looks like a grey triangle. Some sharks eat shellfish. Other sharks eat plankton. Plankton is tiny plants and animals floating in the water. The whale shark eats plankton and it is the largest fish in the world! Some sharks eat fish, and the great white shark eats dolphins and seals, too.
A shark can have 3 000 teeth in its mouth!
Some sharks are over 12 metres long, and some are less than
a metre long. They are not all dangerous. There are less than 100
shark attacks on people each year.
　　Thousands of sharks are killed for food. People eat shark meat only in a few countries, like Japan. A lot of people like to eat sharks' fin soup.
Some fishermen cut off the shark's fins, throw the shark back
in the water, and let the shark die slowly.

2. Look at the picture. Write the right words.

Crocodiles


　　Crocodiles live in hot and wet places. You can find them in Africa, Australia and the United States. Most crocodiles are about one metre long, but some are more than six metres long.
　　Crocodiles lie in the sun for most of the day. At night they would rather be under the water. When crocodiles are in the water, they often float, with only their nostrils and eyes above the surface. Crocodiles have strong tails and they use their tails to move in the water.
　　Young crocodiles eat insects. Adult crocodiles eat fish. They have lots of sharp teeth. Big, old crocodiles can eat larger animals, and some can eat people, too.
　　There were crocodiles millions of years ago when dinosaurs were living. Now there are fewer crocodiles because hunters kill millions of young crocodiles and sell their skins. Then people make shoes, belts and bags from their skins and sell them to customers for a lot of money.
Too many crocodiles are killed. In the future there will be
fewer and fewer crocodiles.

Shells


Shells are the homes of small animals called molluscs. The word
'mollusc' means soft, and all molluscs have soft bodies. Molluscs
do not have bones. When the mollusc grows, the shell grows, too.
　　Some shells have two parts, and the mollusc can open and close the shell to catch food from the water. A clam has a shell like this. Someone found the largest clam in the world in Japan in 1956.
It was 115 centimetres long and weighed 333 kilograms! There are many different kinds of shells.
　　Some shells are very beautiful. Some are one colour; some have lines or spots on them. You can find shells in ponds and on the sea-shore all round the world.

Waves


The water in the sea is moving all the time, but sometimes we
do not see the waves. Sometimes they are under the water. A storm with a strong wind can make enormous waves. One wave in the Pacific
CE Ocean was 34 metres high.
　　But the most dangerous waves are called tsunamis. A tsunami can come when there is an earthquake under the sea. The highest tsunamis have been more than 70 metres high. They can cover houses and kill people near the shore.
　　
Surfing


　　People have surfed for hundreds of years. Surfing started in some islands in the Pacific Ocean. The waves in these islands were very high. First people lay on top of the waves. Then they made surfboards from wood, and stood on them.
　　The first surfboards were very big. Now surfboards are short and light. They are about two metres long.
　　The most famous surfer was from Hawaii. He was called Duke Kahanamoku. In 1915 he surfed in Australia. Then other people started surfing in HAWAII Australia, too. Today people 0 surf in many different countries.
Surfers need lots of high waves. Most surfers would rather surf
in sunny weather than in cold, rainy weather. Most surfers like
to surf in Hawaii, but people surf in cold countries, too. In England it is often cold and wet in the winter, but you can see people surfing on some beaches in December and January.
Surfers need wet suits in cold weather. These wet suits are
rubber, and they keep you warm and dry under the water.

How Sam Grew


　　Sam Jordan liked basketball. Every afternoon he went to the basketball court. Sometimes Sam played with his friend, Janet. Sometimes he played alone.
　　Sam wanted to play for the school basketball team but the basketball coach said, 'You should not play basketball. You're too small. Basketball players must be tall. '
Sam was very sad.
'I want to be the best basketball player in the world,' he told
Janet. 'But basketball players must be tall. I'm too short. '
'Don't worry, you'll grow!' said Janet.
'But I want to be tall now,' said Sam.
The next afternoon a teacher came to the basketball court when
Sam and Janet were playing basketball.
'Good afternoon, Mr Becker,' said Sam and Janet.
'Good afternoon. Do you want some basketball magazines? 'asked
Mr Becker.
'Yes, but whose magazines are they? 'asked Sam.
'They were Mr Smile's magazines,' said Mr Becker.
　　'Mr Smile was a science teacher at this school but he died ten years ago. '
Mr Becker took Sam and Janet to a room. It was full of dust.
He showed Sam and Janet Mr Smile's cupboard. There were some old boxes inside. There were science books and magazines in one of the boxes. 'You can have everything. Nobody wants them,' said Mr Becker. Sam and Janet looked at the basketball magazines and the science books. They were very old.
Sam saw some bottles under the magazines and books. He looked
at one of the bottles. The label said: GROWING MEDICINE - DO NOT DRINK.
'I want to grow tall . I'll drink this medicine!' thought Sam.
He picked up the bottle and said, 'I'm going to drink this medicine.
'
　　Janet pointed. to the label and said, 'You mustn't drink it, Sam. '

'You've grown. Now you're as tall as me,' said Mrs Jordan. Sam went to school. The other children were very surprised.
They said, 'Yesterday Sam was small. Today he's the tallest boy in his class. '
After school Sam went to play basketball. Janet came to the
basketball court.
'Did you drink the medicine? ' Janet asked.
　　'Yes, I did,' said Sam. 'Look, I've grown! And now I'm going to be a basketball star!'
That night Sam drank some more of the growing medicine. The
next morning he could not move his legs. He called his mother.

　　So Sam played basketball with the other players in the team after school.
　　Soon it was the basketball match. The two teams were on the basketball court. Sam was the tallest player!
　　Sam played very well. He scored many points. His team won the match and everybody cheered!

Basketball


James Naismith was from Canada. He was a teacher in the United
States. In 1891 he thought of a new game so his students could play
a game in the winter when the ground was frozen.
　　In Dr Naismith's game there were two teams of five players. They played with a ball and two baskets. It became popular very quickly. Now we call this game basketball. Today people play basketball in many different countries.
　　Basketball players can throw and bounce the ball. They can also jump with the ball but they must not run with it. Players throw the ball into the other team's basket to score Doints. Each game
is divided into two parts of twenty minutes.
The best basketball players in the world are tall. They need
to be tall to throw the ball over other players. Some of them are over two metres tall.
The tallest basketball player in the world was Suleiman Ali
Nashnush from Libya in Africa. He was 2. 45 metres tall.
　　Good basketball players must be fast. They must also have good balance. Someone with good balance does not fall over often.
Michael Jordan is one of the most famous basketball players
in the world. He plays for a team called the Chicago Bulls in the
United States.
People call him 'Air' Jordan. This is because he jumps so high
in the air. People say, 'Michael Jordan can fly!'

Puzzles
　　You are the coach of a basketball team and you need two more players. Choose one boy and one girl. Fill in the blanks.
a) Peter Hall is 2. 1 metres tall but he often drops the ball,
and he cannot catch or throw.

　　d) Tommy Tall is 1. 85 metres tall. He can throw and catch the ball. He has bad balance sometimes, but not often.
I choose because she .
I choose because he .

Tall or Short?


　　Basketball stars are usually tall. The stars of other sports are sometimes short. Some of the best football players are not very tall.
　　Short people often have better balance than tall people, so they do not fall over very often. In some sports the players must have good balance, for example, table tennis and running.
　　You do not need long legs to run fast! Some of the fastest runners in the world are not very tall.
　　Some people are tall and some people are short. There is no medicine to make people grow or to make people smaller.
The tallest woman in the world is Sandy Allen. She is 2. 31
metres tall and lives in the United States.
　　The shortest person in the world is Gul Mohammed from India. He is only 57 centimetres tall.
　　Today young people in many countries grow taller than their parents. This is because they eat better food today. Good food can help children grow.
　　
Medicines


Medicines cannot help us grow taller. They cannot always help
us when we are sick, but everyone needs medicines sometimes.
　　A long time ago people did not have good medicines. Many people died when they were young. Today medicines are very good. They can help people to live longer.
　　In 1928 Alexander Fleming made a medicine called penicillin. Penicillin has saved many people.
　　Today medicines are good but they are expensive. Poor countries, like some countries in Africa, do not have enough of them, so many sick people die.
　　Nobody wants to be sick and to need medicines. There are some things we should do or should not do if we want good health.
　　To have better health, we should eat lots of vegetables and fruit. We should not eat too much food. Also we should not eat food with too much sugar because sugar rots our teeth. We should also exercise regularly and go to bed early

Fire-fighters


Firemen and firewomen are also called fire-fighters. They work
in teams. One fire-fighter drives the fire-engine. The other fire-fighters use the hoses and ladders.
　　When there is a fire in a tall building, fire-fighters use long ladders. The longest ladders are 50 metres high. Sometimes there
is a cage at the top of a long ladder.
　　Fire-fighters stand in the cage to rescue people. Fire- fighters are strong and very brave. They go into burning buildings
to rescue people.
　　Sometimes a fire-fighter is hurt or killed. Sometimes there are fires in forests when the weather is dry. When there is a forest fire, many trees are burned. If the fire is big, a lot of fire-fighters are needed to put it out. Sometimes fire-fighters use aeroplanes or helicopters to drop water from above to put out forest fires.
What should you do when there is a fire in your home?
　　You should tell your parents or an adult immediately. Get everyone out of the flat, house or building. Close the door. Never
go back into the fire. Call for a fire-engine.
　　If you cannot get out, you should close the door and cover up all the cracks so smoke cannot come in. Open all the windows in the room and shout so people can hear you. If you cannot open the windows, smash them with a chair!
