Cookie Dolls
The children baked a batch of cookies and left them on the kitchen table overnight.
When the family had gone to bed, the Wooden Spoon People came out of their drawer
to take a look around the kitchen. Youre all very plain said one of the wooden
spoons, as he stared hard at the cookies. You would look plain too if you only had
two currants for eyes and half a cherry for a nose, sighed a cookie quite sadly.
So sorry, the wooden spoon apologised. I didnt mean to sound so rude.
And with that, he leapt back into the kitchen drawer, and rummaged until he found what he
was looking for. May I introduce you to my friend the icing
pump? asked the wooden spoon, as the two came over to the astonished cookies. Hes the fellow
you need In no time at all, the wooden spoons grabbed
mixing bowls and icing sugar and all kinds of pretty decorations.
The icing pump got busy and made every different pattern he could think of, with icing in
all colours of the rainbow. We all look so beautiful, smiled a cookie
who was covered in every shade of pink. We look good enough to eat.

Rubbish
Lakes and rivers are often polluted because drains from towns and factories empty into them.
And factories sometimes dump very harmful chemicals into the water. The chemicals poison the
water. Wildlife cannot easily survive in it.
Ocean–going tankers sometimes empty tankfuls of oily water into the sea. When this
happens, great patches of oil are left floating on the seas surface. If fish swallow the oil, or if their
gills become clogged up, they die. Birds land on the sea and the oil clogs up their feathers so that
they cannot fly. Unless the oil is cleaned off the birds will die.
Electricity for your home is made in buildings called power plants. Power plants usually use
coal, oil, or gas to make electricity. But some plants use nuclear energy.
To make nuclear energy, uranium is needed. And uranium is radioactive, which means it
gives off rays which are very dangerous to any living thing. People working in nuclear power
plants wear special clothing and masks to protect themselves.
After the uranium has been used there is some dangerous waste, or rubbish, left.
Scientists havent yet found out how to make the rubbish completely safe. So it is sealed in huge
concrete containers and buried at sea, or deep underground.
Some people are worried that the radioactivity might escape and poison living things. And this
rubbish remains dangerous for thousands of years.
In short, our environment has been conta- minated by chemicals. And theres humans role
beyond the pollution.

Activity 4
A poor woodsmans wife sighed one day and said, if only we could have a son, even he
was only as tall as a thumb. Time went by, and in the end a child was born to her, a little boy who
was exactly as tall as a thumb; so they called him Tom Thumb.
As the years went by, he remained small, butt he remained small, but he became a kind
and intelligent boy. One day, it was necessary to take the cart and go and fetch his father, but his
mother was unable to go. Ill go, said Tom Thumb. It seemed impossible that someone so small could
hold the reins; but then he climbed into the horses ear, so that he could speak and feel it where to
go. When this happen, all the passers-by thought that the horse must be very intelligent, to be able
to go places by itself. A circus master wanted to buy it, only then he learned that he wanted to buy
the tiny boy instead. His-father would not have sold him for all the gold in the world, but Tom
Thumb convinced him, by saying: You need the money, dont you? Sell me to the circus and leave
everything up to me.
In fact, as soon as he was able, Tom Thumb runaway from the circus and since he was so
small, he was able to avoid being recaptured and make his way back home.

A long, long time ago, the city of Thebes was guarded by a sphinx, a creature with the
head of a women, the body of lion and the wings of an eagle.
She asked the same riddle of every passer-by, and when they could not answer, she consumed
them. I dont care, snarled the Wolf; If it was not
you it was your father, and with that he rushed upon the poor little Lamb and ––
WA RRA WA RRA WA RRA WA RRA WARRA ––ate her all up. But before she died she
gasped out–– ANY EXCUSE WILL SERVE A TYRANT.
