A TYPICAL MANAGER DESK

Managers often have desks that are surprisingly empty! These emptydesks can show that the manager often travels and is out of the officemost of the time. An empty desk can also demonstrate how powerful themanager is by its representative status. Sometimes, in the USA, you cansee footmarks on the desk because some managers like to put their feetup on the desk when they are talking on the telephone! In the States,managers put their feet up on the desk to show that they are in controlin their office. Managers usually have a laptop computer on their desk.In fact, this laptop computer is their true desk. These days, mostmanagers do almost all their work on their laptops. Another thing youmight find is a cell phone - another sign of the mobility most managersdemand.

We learnt to walk when we were young, but baby giraffes can walk aftertwenty minutes. Baby giraffes live in a very dangerous world. Lions andother animals like eating them, so the babies must learn in a veryshort time. They learn to run fast and to stay on their feet. Even atnight, giraffes do not lie down. They stand by a tree and sleep Biggiraffes have long legs and they can run at fifty kilometres per hour.The English word "giraffe" comes from the Arabic word xirapha and itmeans "run fast."

Giraffes have very long tongues. A giraffe's tongue can be fiftycentimetres! Giraffes use their tongues! They even clean their earswith their tongues. Their tongues are important for other things, too.Their favourite food is green leaves. These trees have sharp thorns,but the giraffe's tongue can go between the thorns. The giraffe's longneck is important because the best leaves are at the tops of the trees.Giraffes love these leaves, and they eat for eighteen hours every day.Isn't is interesting?

RAIN

Rain always comes from clouds. But where do clouds come from? How does all that water get into the sky? Let's learn it…

Think about your bathroom. There is hot water in your bath. Steam goesup from the hot water. The steam makes small clouds in the bathroom.These warm clouds meet the cold walls and windows, and then we seesmall drops of water on the walls and windows.

The world is like your bathroom. The water in the oceans is warm whenthe sun shines on it. Some of this water goes up into the sky and makesclouds. The wind carries the clouds for hundreds of kilometres. Thenthe clouds meet cold air in the sky, and wee see drops of water. Thedrops of water are rain.

The rain falls and runs into rivers. Rivers run into oceans. And thewater from oceans makes clouds and more rain. So water is always movingfrom oceans to clouds to rain to rivers to oceans. So the rain on yourhead was on other heads before! The water in your garden was in othergardens in other countries.
