The armadillo is probably one of the most unusual-look- ing animals. It looks a lot like the dinosaurs that used to walk the Earth. Armadillos can live in many plac- es throughout the United States and other parts of the world, but they are most prominent in the state of Texas. The armadillo has a very tough shell with bands of very strong tissue. These bands are able to slide over each oth- er, which allows the armadillo to roll up like a ball. This is how the armadillo is able to protect itself. Most animals are unable to break through this tough skin. The armadil- lo has to live in places where the dirt is easy to dig; oth- erwise, it cannot dig itself a home. They have very strong claws that help them dig. The armadillo's main diet is insects. They eat ants, termites, beetles, grubs, worms, and other small insects. These animals are also known for their strange behavior. If an armadillo is frightened, it will jump into the air. Sometimes it will even jump three feet high! It also makes a squealing sound. Armadillos are interesting animals! a

An architect wanted to build a new office building. He selected some land that seemed perfect. He planned to cut down the trees to make room for the building. But there was a problem … a big problem. The land wa. actually the habitat of several types of birds. Some nature lov- ers were very upset with the architect. First, they held a rally and told others about the issue. Then, they decided to take legal action because the architect didn't respect the animals' rights. To resolve the problem, they asked a judge to intervene. The judge could not call any witnesses for the nature lovers, so he first asked the architect to tell his side of the story. «Why are you going to destroy the birds' habitat? » the judge asked. The architect replied, «1 has the deed to the land. I want to make a great building there. As you may know, all my buildings become memo- rable landmarks. )) Then one of the nature lovers spoke. «We believe that there's no reason to destroy all the trees. We just want to protect the birds. » Then the judge made his decision. «l proclaim that the office building should be built», he said. It is not a crime to remove those trees. I cannot give you a sentence for any offenses, but I feel obliged to make one request, I will only allow you to use half of the land. The other half will remain free, so the birds have a place to live. The nature lovers could not conceal their gratitude. All of the people cheered. The architect said, «1 has an idea. I will volunteer my time and efforts to design a new type of building. It will pro- vide bushes on the roof where birds can live. There are enough resources in my company's bank account to create the best building ever made. » The architect did exactly as he promised.

The first English attempts to colonize North America were controlled by individuals rather than companies. Sir Humphrey Gilbert was the first Englishman to send col- onists to the New World. His initial expedition, which sailed in 1578 with a patent granted by Queen Elizabeth was defeated by the Spanish. A second attempt ended in disaster in 1583, when Gilbert and his ship were lost in a storm. In the following year, Gilbert's half-brother, Sir Water Raleigh, having obtained a renewal of the patent, sponsored an expedition that explored the coast of the region that he named «Virginia. » Under Raleigh's direc- tion efforts were then made to establish a colony on Roa- noke island in 1585 and 1587. The survivors of the first settlement on Roanoke returned to England in 1586, but the second group of colonists disappeared without leaving a trace. The failure of the Gilbert and Raleigh made it clear that the tasks they had undertaken were too big for any one colonizer. Within a short time, the trading company had supplanted the individual promoter of colonization.
