  Dr. Nagpal is a veterinarian. Ankit and his sister, Sanya, want to keep a pet. They walked down the street into Dr. Nagpal's clinic to seek his advice.

  Dr. Nagpal: Hello children!

  Sanya: Good evening, Doctor. We want to ask you some questions before we choose a pet.

  Ankit: Could you tell us about keeping fish as pet?

  Dr. Nagpal: Sure. Keeping fish as pet has several advantages. Most fish can be left alone for a day or two without being fed. They do not need to be trained, bathed or taken out for an exercise.

  Sanya: What about cats? How much of time and attention do they need?

  Dr. Nagpal: Cats are no-fuss pets. They do not depend on their owners as much as the dogs do, you need to only bring them home at night. And they are noiseless as compared to the dogs. Have you ever heard a cat bark?

  Ankit: (Laughmg) No, we have not. Please tell us about keeping dogs as pets.

  Dr. Nagpal: Dogs are loyal and loving pets. But they do demand their owner's time and attention. They need regular exercise as well as regular meals twice a day, Most dogs are creatures of habit, which means they like a routine that they can follow You should consider the size of your home before you choose a dog. Dogs such as Dobermans need a large home with a garden close by for exercise.

  Sanya: Lastly do tell us about birds.

  Dr. Nagpal: Birds make great pets for small homes. They live in cages that take up little space. Budgerigars are the most popular birds. Did you know that you could even train them to talk as well as pull and push toys? They make wonderful pets.

  Robert Louis Stevenson was a Scottish writer, essayist and poet born on November 13, 1850, in Edinburgh, Scotland. As a child he was sick, and suffered from a lung disease that later developed into tuberculosis. Even as a young boy, Stevenson loved the open air and the sea. He also loved to read. Although he started out to study engineering and then law, he gave up both as his real love was writing.

  It was in 1888, when he sailed the South Seas with his wife, his mother and his stepson. There he learned about the life of the islander he encountered. Finally, he settled at Upolu, an island in the South Seas that also proved to be beneficial for his health. He became a planter on the island and his kindness and understanding won him the affection of the natives.

  Human beings who get irritated by other people or situations around them only manage to make themselves angry. But oysters produce one of the most valuable gems when they get irritated. Oysters are a kind of shellfish found mostly at the bottom of the sea. There are many kinds of oysters like calms, conchs, mussels, scallops and others. An oyster is shaped like an oval box with a lid. Usually the oyster keeps its lid slightly open. Some kinds of oysters are edible and considered to be a delicacy.

  A fleshy layer of the skin lines the inner side of the oyster and is called the mantle. Sometimes a grain of sand or some other object gets in through the open space and irritates the mantle. The mantle tries to stop this irritation by making layers and layers of shell inside it.

  The layers cover the irritating grain of sand or object till it is covered. This process takes several years and it eventually produces one of the most valuable gems - the PEARL.

  Pearls come in many different colours like pink, orange, gold, cream, white or dark grey They also come in varied shapes like round, button-shaped and drop-shaped. Based on shapes, round pearls, which are used for necklaces, are the most valuable. Among colours, the dark grey pearls are the ones that fetch the maximum price.

  So, the next time you find yourself getting irritated by someone or something, ask yourself if getting angry adds to your value!

  The great ship Titanic sailed for New York from South Hampton on April 10th, 1912. It was carrying 1316 passengers and a crew of 891. Even by modern standards, the Titanic was a colossal ship. In speed, in comfort, in beauty, in equipment, it was a masterpiece. At that time, however, it was not only the largest ship that had ever been built, but was regarded as unsinkable, for it had sixteen water-tight compartments. Even if two of these were flooded, it would still be able to float. The tragic sinking of this great liner will always be remembered, for it went down on her maiden voyage with a heavy loss of life.

  Four days after setting out, while the Titanic was sailing across the icy waters of the North Atlantic, a huge iceberg was suddenly spotted. After the alarm had been given, the great ship turned sharply to avoid a direct collision. The Titanic just turned in time, narrowly missing the immense wall of ice which rose over 100 feet out of the water besides it. Suddenly, there was a slight trembling sound from below. The noise had been so faint that no one thought that the ship had been damaged. The captain went down to see what had happened. He realised to his horror that the Titanic was smoking rapidly. Five of her sixteen water-light compartments had already been flooded. The order to abandon the ship was given and hundreds of people plunged into the icy water. As there Were not enough lifeboats for everybody, 1500 lives were lost.

  The most important kind of flag is the National Flag. Every country has its own flag with its bright colours and outstanding design. A nation's flag symbolises its freedom and its history. Indian National Flag is known as the Tiranga Jhanda, Great Britain's National Flag is known as Union Jack and the National Flag of the United States of America is called the Stars and Stripes.

  Most National Flags use one or more of the seven colours. The colours are red, white, blue, green, yellow, black and orange. These colours are often used in a stripe pattern. Flags also use symbols such as the cross, the star and the half moon shape or the crescent. A country's National Flag is always hoisted on the country's National Day. The National Heroes of a country are honoured by the hoisting of flags. In India, Mahatma Gandhi's birthday is celebrated with the hoisting of the Tiranga Jhanda.

  A National Flag is respected by lowering it slowly from the flagpole at dusk. It is folded before it touches the ground. People salute the flag when it is hoisted. When a flag is flown at Half-Mast, it means that the country is mourning the death of an important citizen. The Supreme Court of India now allows its people to fly the National Flag in their houses all through the year, so long as they respect it by lowering it at the dusk and hoisting it at the dawn. You too can choose to keep the Tiranga Jhanda flying high.
