Fisher and the Fish

The moral of the story is take advantage of every little thing you have. The fisher kept the fish though it was small because he took use out of everything he had.

The four oxen and the Lion

I think the moral is never turn your back on your friends. In the end all the oxen died because they turned there backs on each other earlier. Karma hit them

The wolf in the sheeps clothing

Sometimes people will put survival before manners. So that they can survive they wont worry about being nice. I think its true because the wolf put on a sheep costume to get food for himself.

Wooden Bowls

I believe that the moral of this story is what goes around comes around. What happened in this story was karma came back to haunt the parents that acted rude towards their father and father in-law. Once they realized how crude they acted, they changed there ways and treated the grandfather like the human being he was.

Ask a Scientist

All of these articles shared useful information, and cool facts. Although one stood out to me that I found the most interesting. That was a fact stating humans and chimps have 98% the same gene level. The reason I liked this fact so much was because I find it interesting how humans and chumps are so alike. I always knew they were a highly developed and intilectual species, although its interesting to see how alike are gene cells are.

Basic Genetics Homework

This text included some very interesting facts. There were two facts that stood out to me that I was glad to learn.
The first thing I learned was that DNA contains all different facts about our jeans. They contain the building blocks of life. Our DNA holds information about our genes. They are very important to our body.
The second thing I learned was that our parents each have 23 chromosomes. Once they conceive a child, that child gets DNA from each of them.
This website contained very useful information and I'm glad I got a chance to look at it.

Bullying

Bullying is a world wide problem that needs to be put to an end. Its something that has tried to been stopped but has continued to happen. Many schools have assemblies that try to teach kids why bullying is wrong. They also tell kids the consequences that come out of bullying. Hoping that the kids will understand and stop bullying. In the book Lord of the Flies, Piggy is bullied constantly. Some of the boys try to help him out and stand up for him, although since he is an easy target he continues to be bullied. I hope kids can soon realize bullying is wrong and they will stop.
