The Trip to Grand Canyon
There once lived a man named Jacob, who was a poor sea traveler. He lived in a petite cottage made out of adobe and straw. His house was situated on a small hill in a small town in China. He loved to go on sea voyages to distant lands. He was assigned to go on a voyage to the famous gorge: Grand Canyon by the rich merchants of his town. He packed up all his food and equipments in his luggage and left. On his voyage he saw thousands of bridges. Pretty soon he arrived at Grand Canyon. Before he entered the canyon he ate cool, creamy chocolate fudge. He saw a great fair nearby. There was a ship race. The winning prize was a trophy and money worth $1,000,000.Jacob took part in it, at the end of the race the judge announced Jacob to be the winner. He got his prize with great delight and left the fair. He continued his journey to the canyon and slided deep into the canyon. There was a crystal clear lake running in the middle of the canyon. He took a boat and explored the canyon. He then got into his ship and sailed back to his homeland in China. He also became a millionaire because of the prize money he won and lived happily ever after.

Reasons to be Kind to Animals
1 Humans have hunted many kinds of animals in the past for their fur or shells.
Humans have hunted many kinds of animals in the past for their fur or shells. The Kemp’s Ridley sea turtle is one of those animals. The estimated number of nesting females in the year of 1947 was 89,000 but it dove to an estimated 1,000 by the mid 1980s. It was listed as endangered for the first time in the United States on December 2, 1970. Another product from almost extinct animals was ivory. The animals that were killed for their tusks or ivory were elephant, hippopotamus, walrus, mammoth and narwhal. When these animals were nearly extinct the government put a law for not killing these animals. The elephant, hippopotamus, walrus, mammoth and narwhal were saved, but the Kemp’s Ridley turtle was already extinct. Now there are conservation groups who take care of these animals. These animal populations have improved a lot after the conservation groups were created. People still hunt for these animals illegally, but honest people always remain honest and follow the rules.
2 Are useful to us in many ways, so we should take care of them.
Animals are useful to us in many ways. Camels are used a lot for traveling in the deserts. Cows are one of the most used animals. They are in agriculture or farming for plowing in India. They are also the milk-giving deities. They produce a lot of products such as cheese and curd. Another animal is the elephant. It is used to lift heavy things like lumber or wood. Animals are useful to us in many so we should be kind to them and take care of them.
