Is Smoking Good For Us?
Before we smoke, it is better to look at the fact of smoking effects, not only for smokers but also for non smokers. About 50 thousands people die every year in Britain as the direct result of smoking. This is the seven times as many as deaths in road accidents. Nearly a quarter of smokers die because of diseases caused by smoking.
Ninety percent of lung cancers are caused by smoking. If we smoke five cigarettes a day, we are six times more likely to die of lung cancer than a non- smoker. If we smoke twenty cigarettes a day, the risk is nineteen times greater. Ninety five per-cent of people who suffer from bronchitis are peo-ple who smoke. Smokers are two and half times more likely to die of heart disease than non- smok-ers.
Additionally, children of smokers are more likely to develop bronchitis and pneumonia. In one hour in a smoky room, a non-smoker breathes as much as substance causing cancer as if he had smoked fifteen cigarettes.
Smoking is really good for tobacco companies because they do make much money from smoking habit. Smoking, however, is not good for every-body else.

Armadillo is native to both North and South America, although only one species of armadillo is found in the United States. The average armadillo measures around 75 cm long, including the tail, but the giant armadillo can grow to more than 1.5 m long and the miniature pink fairy armadillo, the smallest one, only gets to around 10 cm long. There are around 20 species of armadillos still existent on the American continent with the nine-banded armadillos being the only species found outside of the South American tropics.
Armadillo has a hard outer shell which covers its body, head and tail. Its shell is formed by plates of bone covered in relatively small overlapping scales, known as scutes, which are made up of bone with a covering of horn. The underside of the armadillo is simply covered with soft skin and fur. It also has long claws for digging burrows and hunting for insects on the land.
Armadillo can curl up into a ball, leaving no soft body parts exposed to danger. Most armadillos can also reach a top speed of nearly 30 mph so it can easily outrun from predators such as bears, wildcats and cougars. It has very poor vision which makes the armadillo somewhat vulnerable in its jungle environment. The diet of the armadillo is primarily comprised of insects. It also eats worms, spiders, snakes and frogs.
Female armadillos give birth to around four young which are burn after a gestation period of three to four months. After birth, the baby armadillos remain in the burrow for a few months. They then begin to forage with their mother, eventually leaving after six months to a year.

The Fox And The Pheasants
One moonlight evening as Master Fox was taking his usual stroll in the woods, he saw a number of Pheasants perched quite out of his reach on a limb of a tall old tree. The sly Fox soon found a bright patch of moonlight, where the Pheasants could see him clearly; there he raised himself up on his hind legs, and began a wild dance. First he whirled 'round and 'round like a top, then he hopped up and down, cutting all sorts of strange capers. The Pheasants stared giddily. They hardly dared blink for fear of losing him out of their sight a single instant.
Now the Fox made as if to climb a tree, now he fell over and lay still, playing dead, and the next instant he was hopping on all fours, his back in the air, and his bushy tail shaking so that it seemed to throw out silver sparks in the moonlight.
By this time the poor birds' heads were in a whirl. And when the Fox began his performance all over again, so dazed did they become, that they lost their hold on the limb, and fell down one by one to the Fox.
