Passage Birds
Birds
don

sky. The air is too thin.

for birds to breathe in thin air.

are.

get
lost.

so
low
over
the
ocean

waves
often hide them. Many birds fly a long
distance in the
spring and autumn.

Air is all around
us. It is around us as we walk and play.
From the time we were born air is
around us on every side.
When we sit
down, it is around us. When we go to bed, air
is
also
around
us.
We
live
in
air.
We
can
live
without
food
or water for a few
days, but we cannot live for more than
a few minutes without air. We take in
air. When we are
working or running we
need more air. When we are asleep,
we
need less air. We live in air, but we cannot see
it. We
can only feel it when it is
moving. Moving air is

How
can
we

of your
face, close it
quickly.
What
can you feel? What you

don

don

t get into the

there
is
a
No swimming
sign. Third,
you
should
be
careful
in
the
water.
If
you
remember
these,
swimming
will
be
safe and it
’
s good for your
health.

tried
to read hem or asked his men to tell
him what they said.
If
he
agreed,
he
would
write

problem was that he did not know how to spell. So
he
wrote
“

OK
