Chapter 1: ________________________

One day, young Sherlock Holmes was staying with his aunt and uncle in Scotland. He enjoyed exploring the countryside and solving little mysteries. One evening, he saw a strange light in the distance. It looked like a fire!

Sherlock ran to the scene and found a barn burning. He noticed strange footprints around the barn and some suspicious barrels. The fire brigade arrived and put out the fire, but the barn was destroyed.

Chapter 2: ________________________

The next day, Sherlock discovered that a family who lived nearby had disappeared. They were friends of his aunt and uncle. Sherlock visited their house and found it empty. He noticed that the family had left in a hurry. He found a note saying, "Meet us at the fire storm."

Sherlock was puzzled. What was the "fire storm"? He decided to investigate further.

Chapter 3: ________________________

Sherlock followed clues that led him to a nearby forest. He found a hidden path that led to a cave. Inside the cave, he discovered the missing family! They explained that they had been hiding from dangerous men who wanted to steal their land. The men had started the fire to scare them away.

Sherlock examined the cave and found more barrels like the ones he had seen at the barn. He realized the men were using the barrels to create fires.

Chapter 4: __________________________

Sherlock came up with a plan. He told the family to stay hidden in the cave. Then, he went to the police and explained everything. The police agreed to help.

Sherlock and the police set a trap for the men. They placed empty barrels around another barn and waited. Sure enough, the men came to start another fire. But this time, the police were ready. They caught the men and arrested them.

Chapter 5: __________________________

The family was safe, thanks to Sherlock's clever thinking. The police thanked him for his help, and his aunt and uncle were very proud of him. Sherlock realized that he loved solving mysteries and decided that one day he would become a great detective.

And so, young Sherlock Holmes continued his adventures, always curious, always observant, and always ready to help those in need.

In 1809, John Colter, a hunter, travelled to a new part of the United States: the mountains and forests of Wyoming. He discovered an amazing place. It was an extraordinary land of ice and fire. When he returned home, he talked about his adventures - but nobody believed him!
Colter described amazing scenes. There were ponds of water - but they boiled! There were trees that appeared to be stone. There were holes in the ground that suddenly exploded, like fountains of boiling water. Everywhere there was the strong smell of sulphur.
Colter walked deep into the forests. He watched and studied an amazing variety of animals, including bears and wolves. He climbed high mountains and explored beautiful lakes and rivers. There were high waterfalls and deep canyons with yellow rocks on each side. In fact, the name of this place comes from those rocks: Yellowstone.
Fifty years later, the US government organised three scientific expeditions to Yellowstone. They wanted to find out what was really there. Finally, people started to believe John Colter's stories. They realised Yellowstone was a beautiful and unusual place, and asked government to protect it. So in 1872, President Grant signed a new law: Yellowstone was now the first national park in the world.

The more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you.

Beautiful things

Benson Boone

For a while there, it was rough
But lately I've been doin' better
Than the last four cold Decembers
I recall
And I see my family every month
I found a girl my parents love
She'll come and stay the night
And I think I might have it all

And I thank God every day
For the girl He sent my way
But I know the things He gives me
He can take away
And I hold you every night
And that's a feeling I wanna get used to
But there's no man as terrified
As the man who stands to lose you

Oh, I hope I don't lose you
Mmm, please, stay
I want you, I need you, oh, God
Don't take
These beautiful things that I've got

Please, stay
I want you, I need you, oh, God
Don't take
These beautiful things that I've got
Oh, ooh
Please, don't take

I found my mind, I'm feelin' sane
It's been a while, but I'm findin' my faith
If everything's good and it's great
Why do I sit and wait till it's gone?
Oh, I'll tell ya, I know I've got enough
I've got peace and I've got love

But I'm up at night thinkin' I just

might lose it all

Please, stay
I want you, I need you, oh, God
Don't take
These beautiful things that I've got
Oh, ooh

Please, stay
I want you, I need you, oh, God
I need
These beautiful things that I've got
