Nature is full of colour. Colour is very important for plants, animals, birds, and insects. It means life to them. Birds, for example, use their colour to tell other birds to stay away from their nests. They sing and move their wings to show their colour as a warning to other birds.
Some moths use colour to make birds afraid of them. The colour or the marks on the moth’s body is a sign to a bird. The bird sees the colour or the marks and does not eat the moth!
One kind of fish can change its colour. The colour is the same as the surrounding sea plants or rocks. Then the fish’s enemy can’t see it.

Early men did not have clocks. They told time by the sun and the shadows of trees. At first, they used sticks placed in the ground instead of trees. They made marks on the ground, and the shadows from the sticks told the time of the day.
Later, men began to use sundials. Some sundials were boxes with a stick to cast a shadow. The mark for noon was very important. The sundial always had to face the same way or the time was wrong. Sundials were the first kind of the clock.

The cranberry is a North American fruit that grows on a bush. The cranberry is small, round, red, and very bitter. American Indians used the berries for food and medicine. When settlers first came from England in the 1600s, they liked these berries, too. The settlers had never seen the berries before. They decided to call them “crane berries”, because birds called cranes ate them.
The cranberry bush grows in only some states that have the special conditions the cranberry bush needs.
Cranberries ripen when the weather starts to become cold. Many people eat cranberries as part of the feast of Thanksgiving in November.
