WAY DO RACCOONS WASH THEIR FOOD?



HAVE YOU EVER WATCHED RACCOONS >if SO YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN THEM WASH THEIR food before they eat it you might wonder way these animals are so neat and clean this unusal habit started long ago with the help of bear and fox .
To feed her hungry cubs. Bear spends hours standing in the stream that runs through the woods she is waiting for a fat fish to swim by then she plunges her head into the water and grabs the fish with her sharp teeth  often it twists and flops cnot a slippery fish
Raccoon raised his head and smiled bear could see the mask on his eyes nope I didn’t see a thing
Bear shrugged her huge shoulders her stomach as she headed back to her den on the way she met fox she asked fox
The next morning bear got up before the sun rose she hurried thourhht the dark wood to get her bag of food but it was gone again just then raccoon wandered by
BEAR FOX SAID I KNOW someone else who likes fish and berries
WHO asked bear fox nodded in the direction that raccoon had gone raccoon bear asked but he asid he didn’t tsee my fish
BEAR sighed What can I do I m busy enough  feeding my cubs I don’t want to feed raccoon too FOX smiled I have an idea  hide another fish tomorrow how can that help bear asked raccoon will just it again
Fox handed her a small  jar of red powder the label sprinkle this
MY MOUNTH raccoon yelled my month its on fire
Bear just smiled and want back to sleep she knew raccoon wouldn’t be stealing any more of her fish

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE PASSENGER TRAIN


WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE PASSENGER TRAIN?
INTRODUCTION;
AS the 1800s ended the 1900s began. More and more rairoad track were laid soon trains connected every part of our country THEY become a favorite way for people to travel by the late 1920s,20,000 passenger train carried and family  visits in many towns
How did  this happen? There is no simple answer  however we can better undertand what happened by learning more about the history of passenger trains,
RIDING THROUGH THE 1930S AND WORLD WAR II
TRAINS PLAYED A MAJOR role  during the Great Depression of the 1930s Millions of Americans were homeless and hungry  they ate spoiled food they picked  out of garbage cans they under newspapers or in cardboard boxes
HOBOSE
THE railroad companies should  have been able to build more then 4,000 new cars a year in 1946, they produced only 285 new coaches they nations passenger  trains were run-down and not getting any better
FACING NEW COMPETITION
AS the railroads went downhill the American people took to the airplanes were no longer needed to fight the wer now they carried passengers and there was more bad news for the train industry Detroit  outomobile manufacturers began producing millions of care
 FINALLY
In 1967, the united states post office decided to transport first-class mail by plane instead of train
ALL of these things helped cause the near –death of passenger trains
STEPPING IN
THE Federal govermment wanted to save passenger train service in 1970 congress set up nationl railroad passenger corporation
Passenger trains provided a way for americcans to travel long before the car and the plane-and they still play an important role especially near major cities
