On the 12th of February 1809, a little boy was born in the State of Kentucky, America. His name was Abraham Lincoln and he lived with his parents and his sister in a hut made of logs.
Life was not very easy for the Lincoln family. In all his life Abraham never went to school for more than a year.
When he was grown-up, Lincoln once passed a large open market-place, and there for the first time, he saw Negro men, women, and even children who were sold as slaves to white masters. He also saw how unkindly these poor slaves were treated. At that time he said nothing, but he never forgot it and he decided to help the slaves.
Later he became a lawyer in his town. The people of Illinois made him a member of parliament. They believed in him and finally made him their leader, the President of the United States.

Christopher Columbus was born in the seaport town of Genoa in Italy, about the year 1451. He was only 14 years old when he first sailed to the East. His life on the sea, talks with sailors and the results of science made him sure that the earth is round. He wanted to reach India by a westward voyage. He also wanted to discover a new and shorter way to the East.
Columbus set sail with his crew on the 3rd of August, 1492. He was on the ocean for ten weeks. After many hardships he and his sailors saw land. The land was America.
Columbus continued his explorations but he always thought that the islands he had sailed to were the West Indies and he died never knowing that he had discovered a new continent.

In old Roman legends, Mercury was the swift-footed messenger of the gods. The year on the planet of Mercury is only 88 earth days.
Mercury always keeps one side towards the sun. On this side it is always day, on the other side it is always night. We see only the lighted side.
Mercury appears to us like a yellowish-orange star. The nearest planet to the sun, it is always seen near the sun, either before sunrise or soon after sunset. People sometimes call Mercury the morning or evening star, though it is really a planet.
On its lighted side Mercury’s temperature is about 300 degrees Centigrade. But the dark side is deathly cold — about 150 degrees below zero. So Mercury is probably the coldest, as well as the hottest of the planets.

The English Sunday is no longer the quiet day of rest it was in the past. Writing letters, reading novels, playing the piano or violin, riding a bicycle or motorcycle, visiting picture galleries, exhibitions, museums or the Zoo, going to an afternoon or evening concert, all that is no longer considered improper. Even some cinemas are now open on Sundays and most of the West End restaurants give some music during the dinner hours.
But in many other respects, things have remained as they were. People do not go to business on Sunday; only a few small shops are open; no letters are delivered in London, except by “Express Sunday Delivery”. The railways, trolley-buses and trams run less frequently than on week-days. A few Sunday newspapers only are published; the theatres and music halls are closed.

One day, some Americans were having dinner at a hotel in London. When the fish was put on the table, a young man said: “Let’s examine the fish carefully. Perhaps we’ll find a diamond in it.” Everybody began to laugh, but an old man said: “Yes, I’m sure we have all heard such stories. Let me tell you what happened to me once.”
“When I was a young man,” he began, “I worked for a big company in New York; and I was sent to England to do some work there. I was in love with a beautiful girl, and before I left for England, we decided that we would be married when I returned home.
“I stayed in England for two months. I sent letters to the girl almost every day, but I didn’t receive any answers. And before I left for home, I bought a beautiful diamond ring for her. “On the ship one morning, a telegram was brought to me. It told me that the girl was going to be married to another man, I was so angry that I threw the diamond ring into the sea.
“My friend came to the port to meet me, and he invited me to dinner. When we were sitting down at the table and I was eating fish, I suddenly felt something hard in my mouth. What do you think it was?”
“The diamond!” all the Americans cried.
“No,” the old man answered. “It was a fish bone.”
