They keep the tree alive
Twisting and creaky trees
They need to grow branches
Trees are everything

They hunted
They fished
They built boats
They sailed far, far away.
I wonder where they went.

Hi!! My name is Zack. Me and my best friend
Austin are going in the woods. Want to come? Wait
it's pouring down rain out so why don't we go play
64.
Yah, that's a good idea.
OK, let's go.
L a te r.. . "Oh man, I didn't know we played for 8
hours. Yikes, where are we and what's that?" asked
Zack.
"It looks like a mushroom except it has eyes and it
moves," said Austin.
"You're all green," said Zack.
"You're all red and you look like Mario," said
Austin.
"You look like Luigi. If you look like Luigi and I
look like Mario then we must be in Nin. .." shouted
Zack.
"Wait, wait, wait, that mushroom thing is getting
closer!" Austin said.
"That's what I was about to say but to jum p on it,"
said Zack excitedly.
"OK 1, 2 ,3 , jump! Wait, what's that red block
thing?" asked Austin.
"I don't know but let's jum p in the mushroom
first. 1, 2, 3, gotcha. Now what was that red block
thing that you were talking about and where is it?"
asked Zack.
"It's over there," said Austin.
"OK, let's go see what it is. Let's hit it," said
Zack.
"Cool wing cap," said Austin.
"Oh yah, I remember we are supposed to go to the
top of the hill, where the big bomb is," said Zack.
"OK so let's go," said Austin.
"Wait, we have to talk to him," said Zack. "I
guess we don't. OK so we pick him up by the back
and throw him," said Zack.
"OK here we are, let's fight big bomb," said
Austin.
"OK you go first," said Zack.
"No way. Let's both go. He'll be too heavy for
one o f us," said Austin.
"Yah that's fine with me. Let's grab h im .. . 1,2,
3, get him !" said Zack.
"OK we got him, let's throw him," said Austin.
BANG.
"We got him! Now let's go get the sta r.. . Wait a
minute, everything looks normal!" said Zack.
"Wow we better not play 64 that long any more,"
said Austin.
"Why not, we were in there for no time at all?" said
Zack.
"OK, you can but I don't want to."

BEAVERS
Most beavers live in North America. Beavers are
known for their skill at cutting down trees with their
strong front teeth. They eat the bark and use the
branches to build dams and lodges. Their dams
make great habitat for the fish. Their homes are built
of sticks or more firmly and solidly of mud. The
room inside may measure 8 feet wide and up to 3 feet
tall. A 1,000 foot beaver dam was found in Rocky
Mountain National Park, Colorado. At least two
families live in a lodge. Beavers' favorite bark
includes willow, maple, alder, and aspen trees.
Beavers give birth to one litter of kits per year,
usually between April and July. The litter usually
contains 4 kits, but up to 8 are possible. The
younger siblings stay with their parents for 2 years
helping with the lodge and gathering food.
An adult beaver weighs 35 pounds, is about 30
inches long, and 12 inches tall. Beavers may live 20
years or more. Beavers have waterproof brown fur
and black webbed feet. Their powerful hind legs
also increase their swimming ability. Beavers can
swim under water for 1/2 mile and can hold their
breath for 15 minutes. Beavers can close their noses
and ears while swimming under water. They have a
clear eyelid to protect their eyes from the water and
debris.
Hunters in the United States and Canada trap over
500,000 beavers a year. Beavers are almost extinct
in Europe.
