Answers to an Ancient Mystery

Sixty-five million years ago, almost all of the dinosaurs on Earth died at the same time. The only ones to survive were the few dinosaur relatives that could fly. What terrible event caused this? Scientists have sought the answer for a long time. They are still not completely sure. However, today there are two popular opinions about this unanswered question.

One group believes that a giant rock hit the area which is now Mexico. This filled the air with black dust. Skies everywhere became black, and the sun's light couldn't reach Earth for an extended period of time. During this time, the climate changed, and many kinds of plants and animals died. When the skies cleared, the temperature increased too much, killing even more plants and animals. Dinosaurs could not get the food they needed, and this caused them to starve to death.

Another group of scientists has a different idea. They say that, in reality, volcanoes were the problem. Volcanoes are openings in the earth that emit extremely hot melted rock. This group thinks that 65 million years ago, a lot of volcanoes started to become active. This caused the climate change that killed all the dinosaurs. At the moment, the true story remains a mystery.

Cinderella

Once upon a time there lived a young girl named Cinderella. Her mother had died, and this affected Cinderella deeply. Her father soon found a second wife who already had two daughters. Although this woman was very good to her own daughters, she treated Cinderella terribly.

The king was having a big party for his son, the prince. Cinderella couldn't go because she didn't have a nice dress and her step-mother didn't allow her to go. She hid in her room and cried. Then something shocking happened. A magical woman appeared and said, "You are going to the party, too." At first Cinderella was scared. But then suddenly she was wearing the most beautiful dress in the world. The kind woman also gave her a pair of beautiful glass shoes and warned her, "My magic will only last until 12 o'clock tonight. You must leave by then."

At the party, the prince danced with Cinderella and fell in love with her. When she finally left at midnight, he followed her, but she ran faster than he did. However, she accidentally dropped one of the glass shoes and the prince found it. The next day the prince asked all the women in the country to put on the shoe.

Tornado Safety Information

Most tornadoes occur in the middle of the United States in an area known as Tornado Alley. However, these terrifying storms happen in every part of the world, except for Antarctica. So how can you protect yourself from a tornado?

Tornado Warnings

You should rely on your local radio and television stations for information about potentially destructive storms. A tornado 'watch' means there is the potential for a tornado to form. A tornado 'warning' means that someone has already seen one. It's time to find a safe place to hide right away.

Safe Places to Hide

If you are not in a building, get inside one as quickly as possible. Go to the lowest floor and find a safe place. Try to find a hallway or a room with no windows, like a closet or a bathroom. At the height of a storm, the winds may be blowing at up to 320 miles per hour, and broken glass is capable of doing a lot of damage.

After the Storm

When the tornado has passed, turn on your radio for instructions. Don't try to move anyone who is hurt; call for skilled medical help. As you leave the building, watch for fallen electrical lines and broken glass.
