In Africa, in the county of Ghana, there once lived a man who had three sons. One day, before he left on
a long journey, Kofi gathered his sons around him. He gave each child an egg. “I will be gone for a long
time,” he told his sons. “Use these eggs to help your mother.” But as soon as Kofi left, the two older
boys cooked and ate their eggs. The youngest boy, Ebo gave his egg to his mother, who put it under a
hen to hatch. Many months later, Kofi returned. The youngest son prepared a feast to welcome him
back-for he had many chickens and many eggs.

Day 10:

XI. READ THE STORY AND ANSWERS THE QUESTIONS:

Bear and Hare Warm Up

One cold frosty morning, Bear woke up from the middle of his long winter sleep. He wandered outside

his den and noticed that the lake had frozen over. “Good thing I’m not made of water,” he said, “or I’d

turn to ice.” “But you are made of water,” said Hare, who was tumbling around in a snow bank beside him.

“Over half your body is water.” “You must be fooling,” said Bear. He looked at his body. His arms didn’t

look like water. His legs didn’t look like water. His paws didn’t look like water. “Think of all your blood,”

said Hare. “Your blood’s made of water. In fact, all your parts are made of cells, and cells are made of

water.” Bear rubbed his paws together and blew on them to keep them warm. “I don’t want to freeze like

the lake,” he said. “Don’t worry,” Hare giggled. “We’re warm-blooded animals. That means our body

temperature stays the same, even when it’s cold outside. Besides, our body water isn’t pure water. It

contains organic molecules like sodium and potassium that make its freezing point lower than regular

water. We can only freeze in very extreme conditions.” “Brrrrrr.” Bear shivered. “See, when you shake

like that, your body’s using energy to make more heat and warm you up.” “I know a better way to warm

up,” said Bear. “Let’s go inside.” They stomped into Hare’s house. Bear relaxed by the fireplace. A few

minutes later, the snow on his fur melted and dripped into puddles on the floor. A teapot whistled on the
stove. Bear looked at the teapot and saw a thick stream of steam shooting into the air. “How are you

feeling now?” Hare asked as he brought Bear a cup of chamomile tea. “I’m still afraid,” Bear said as he

cuddled the steaming teacup in his paws. “Don’t be silly,” Hare told him. “Even though you’re made of

water, you know you aren’t going to turn to ice.” “I know,” Bear said. “But now I’m afraid I’ll evaporate.”

c. The water in their blood has organic molecules in it that make it more difficult to freeze.

d. The water in their blood is pure water, whereas the water in the lake is not
