A DOLPHIN

Dolphin
Click!Click!Click!"Is it a computer?""Is it a clock?" No. It's a dolphin.When a dolphin is first born, its mother makes a clicking sound and the calf uses that pattern as a name. Let's learn about a dolphin's life cycle, what they eat, their dangerous enemies, and how they sleep.
A bottle-nose dolphin has a really unique life cycle. Pregnancy is 12 months long and calfs drink milk until they are a year and a half old. Females live up to 50 years but males only live up to 30 years because of violence.
A bottle-nose dolphin has a very healthy diet. They crunch on crustaceans and munch on small fish. They devour squid as fast as a cheetah.
The bottle-nose dolphin is surrounded by enemies. Ocean animals like sharks and orcas can hurt the dolphin calfs. Male dolphins can hurt unprotected calfs. Humans are a dolphins worst nightmare with our boats, pollution, and commercial shipping.
When at night in the sea, no animal tis awake." Actually, dolphins are paritally awake because of the need to be cuatious of predators. Dolphins have two parts of their brain. They let one part rest and the other work. In zoos, however, they are fully asleep at night.

Queen Angelfish

Hello! My name is Elisibith and I am a Queen Angelfish. I belong to the fish group. You'll NEVER believe what happened to me today!
Well, I was doing my regular chores, gathering food. When I was looking for food,I couldn't find any algae, sponges, or coral in the Caribbean Sea! I couldn't find anyone else either! I was SO scared,but I kept on going forward into the deep water.
When I got to the darkest part, I swam into a Lighteningfish! Luckily, I swam away. After THAT, I swam into a piranha (that's even worse)! He started chasing me in circles. It was REALLY annoying.
But then he realized he was supposed to be baby-sitting ( Ha, ha, ha). While he was making sure everyone was OK, I slipped away.
When I got to the deepest part, I swam into a shark (this is bad)! But before he could sense me, I got away.
When I got to the top, I was relieved. I saw my cousin, the Blue angelfish. Once she saw me, she bowed. If I haven't told you before, the ringed spot on my forehead represents a crown:

(sigh) I guess I'm royalty.

Anyway. Wait, where was I? Ah yes. Then I remembered it was my birthday (how silly am I)! So I quickly swam to where my birthday party was going to be. As I was on my way, I saw him. The one who I was expecting to escort me to my birthday party. I guess I should have waited a little while longer before I went out this morning. And by the way, I turned 15 this year. Do you know what that means? That means that I'm old enough to have babies (not to mention mating for life )(marrige).
Well, that was my day! See you soon!
P.S. I'm 18 inches (as big as I can grow)

The Human Piggy Bank



Sometimes, six year olds do silly things. For example, when I was six years old, I had a gross habit (as six year olds usually do) of sucking on money to make it clean. I didn't know that was bad until I swallowed a coin!
We went to the emergency room so I could get an x-ray. The doctor told me it would be like a shock. It scared me. After the x-ray, I realized that it wouldn't shock me. The doctor also called me a piggy bank.
The doctor told me that I couldn't eat dairy products for two whole weeks!! It was really frustrating because the next day was pizza day.
Finally, the two weeks passed. But before the two weeks had passed the nickel came out (I thought it was a dime). I don't want to talk about how it came out, though.
Sometimes, six year olds do silly things. Often, those silly things cause frustration. Sometimes, they are even scary. When I swallowed a nickel, it was not a happy thing. I was extremely scared and frustrated. At least I learned to not do it again.
