Donna's story           M y story starts in late July. It was July 21st, I think. It was the first day of our holiday, a hot July day. I stood in the sun and looked at the sea. It was eleven o'clock in the morning. I was on the boat at Portsmouth with my mother and father and my sister, Louise. Sea birds played near our big boat and the small boats near us on the sea. I started to look at the people with us on our boat. They all watched the sea birds and talked and laughed. They were all happy on the first day of their holiday too. And suddenly there he was, this tall, quiet boy in a blue and white shirt: he was really good looking. I'll always remember the first time I saw him. He didn't see me then. He was with some friends. One of the boys was his brother, I think: they had the same blue eyes, the same mouth and nose, nearly the same hair. His brother and one of the boys with him tried to catch the sea birds and he smiled at them. Th...

  Black Beauty  by Anna Sewell Chapter 2: Lessons I got older and my coat started to shine. It was black, but I had one white foot, a white star on my face and some white on my back.   When I was a big horse, Mr. Gordon came to me. He looked at my eyes, my mouth and my legs. Very good, he said. Very good. Now he´ll have to learn to work. He'll be a very good horse then. What does a horse have to learn? He learns not to move when a man puts a harness on him. Or when the man puts a bit into his mouth. A bit is a cold, hard thing, and it hurts. You can't move it. It stays in your mouth and across your nose. I wasn't happy with the bit in my mouth, but farmer Grey was a Kind man in every other way. I didn't bite or kick. My mother always had a bit in her mouth when she worked. Other horses have bits too, and I knew that. So I didn't move when they put it in. Soon it didn't hurt. The saddle wasn't as bad as the bit. Horses have to learn to have a sad...

Black Beauty  by Anna Sewell Chapter 1. My mother.    I don't remember everything about the first months of my life. I remember a big field of green  grass  with one or two trees in it. On hot days my mother stood under a tree and I drank her milk. That was before I got bigger. Then I started to eat the grass.   There were other young horses in the field. We ran and jumped round and round the field. We fell on our backs in the grass and kicked our legs happily.   When I stopped drinking her milk, my mother went to work every day. Then in the evening, I told her about my day. "I'm happy because you are happy", she said "But remember - you aren't the same as these other young horses. They are going to be farm horses. They're good horses, but we are different. People know your father, and my father was Lord Westland's best horse. When you're older, you'll learn to carry people on your back. Or you'll take them from place to place in their  ca...

Titanic by  PAUL SHIPTON.  PDF There were many examples of bravery on the Titanic on the night of April 14, 1912. Some of the crew and passengers worked all night to save other people. They chose to stay on the ship until the end. Other passengers thought only about saving themselves. They fought to get into the lifeboats.

But almost everybody in the world today knows the name of the Titanic. So what really happened that night? Why did the ship hit an iceberg? Why didn't another ship save the passengers? How many people survived, and how many died? You will find the answers in this book. But remember that the disaster is more than just a story in a history book. It happened a long time ago, but some old people today can still remember it. There were many kinds of people on the ship—ri...
