2. They live in our hairas it is just the righttemperature for them!

They can also find foodon our heads.

3. Lice feed on our blood.They pierce our skin withtiny spines in their mouth.

This does not hurt. Thenthey suck up our blood.

Funfacts

Lice do not jump or fly butthey walk fast. Your head justneeds to touch a place where

there are lice, like a friendshead, for example. Then thelice can climb onto your head.

Female lice lay 10 eggs a day!The eggs are called nits.They stick to hairs. A weeklater, the nits turn into babylice.nOW

Washing your hair will notget rid of lice as they do notdrown in water. You need touse a special shampoo andalso comb your hair with

a fine-toothed comb to getrid of the nits.

4. Before sucking upour blood, lice inject salivaunder our skin. This makesthe blood more liquid andthe lice can suck it up moreeasily. Our skin protectsitself against the saliva andforms a little spot. That iswhat makes us itch.

This beaver is using his strong teeth to gnaw at

the trunk of a tree growing by a river. When the tree falls down,he will cut off the branches one by one.

The beaver is carrying a branch. He swims with his back feet.

They are webbed like a ducks feet. He swims past the lodge (home) that he builtin the middle of the river. But where is he going?30

7/27/2019 Story Box 146 (2010.09)

31/52

This is where he was heading! The beaver is using branches and mud

to strengthen the dam that he built across the river.The dam causes a deep pond to form around the lodge.

Look out! There is a bear! The beaver slaps the water with his tail. Splash! Splash!

Other beavers nearby hear the noise and know that there is danger.But what is the beaver going to do now?31

7/27/2019 Story Box 146 (2010.09)

32/52

He dives under the water and joins his mate and kits inside the lodge.The lodges entrance is hidden below the surface of the water.

The dam keeps the water level high and

stops other animals from getting inside.The beaver family will be safe and dry until the bear wanders off32

7/27/2019 Story Box 146 (2010.09)

33/52

Amazing but true

A beavers tail is covered in scales.It helps beavers

to stand up on their back legs.

It also acts as a rudderso they can change directionin the water.

When beavers swim,

only their nose, eyes and earsstick out of the water.

There are two types of beavers. North American beavers build lodges.Eurasian beavers prefer to dig burrows in river banks.

Beavers can stay twenty minutesunder water without breathing.33

Through all the pleasant meadow-side

The grass grew shoulder-high

Till the shining scythes went far and wide

And cut it down to dry.

These green and sweetly smelling crops

They led in waggons home;And they piled them here in mountain tops

For mountaineers to roam.

Here is Mount Clear, Mount Rusty-Nail,

Mount Eagle and Mount High;

The mice that in these mountains dwell,

No happier are than I!

Oh, what a joy to clamber there,

Oh, what a place for play,

With the sweet, the dim, the dusty air,

The happy hills of hay!
