It is a well-known fact that in prehistoric times the great part of the world’s land surface was covered with forests. In places, where trees grew, man used wood to build homes for himself and his dependents.
The durability of wood and its use can be demonstrated, for example, by the existence of such buildings as churches of Scandinavia. In Russia, where sub-zero temperatures are quite common, wood has been widely used for both houses and churches because of its property of insulation against cold. Many old Russian churches are wooden, even to the onion-shaped domes with which they are decorated.

You can visit some parts of the safari park on foot. Here you can see the animals that are not dangerous, like giraffes, zebras, camels and antelopes. The animals walk around as if they were in Africa.

In one Australian town in Queensland something very unusual happened: smoking was forbidden for two days. People who were seen with a cigarette, cigar or a pipe, had to pay money into a fund against cancer. In most shops and supermarkets you could only buy tobacco if you paid some extra money into that fund.
The experiment was so unusual that a lot of people and journalists from almost all the newspapers in the country came to witness it, because there were plans to do the same in other towns. When people were asked for their opinion about the experiment, some answered that they welcomed it.

With the idea of a new England in America some of the strongest English people crossed the broad Atlantic on the little ship known as “The Mayflower”. These people were independent, some of them were also learned.
Towards the end of November in 1620, this company of about a hundred persons, with Captain Miles Standish as their leader, landed not far from the place where Boston is now.
A short time after landing, they found a suitable place to live and began to cut trees and build houses. Winter came on, and they were not prepared for difficult times. Many of them got ill and about half of them died. But those who survived did not give up; they were not easily discouraged by the difficulties.
