had a baby."
Some time later Nasreddin asked Ali to lend him a pot again. Ali agreed, hoping
that he would once again receive two pots in return. However, days passed and
Nasreddin had still not returned the pot. Finally Ali lost patience and went to
demand his property. "I am sorry," said Nasreddin. "I can't give you back your pot,

the shopkeeper. Then he tried a robe which had the same price as the trousers.
Nasreddin was pleased with the robe, and he left the shop. Before he climbed on
his donkey to ride home, the shopkeeper and the shop-assistant ran out.
"You didn't pay for the robe!" said the shopkeeper.
"But I gave you the trousers in exchange for the robe, didn't I?" replied
Nasreddin.
"Yes, but you didn't pay for the trousers, either!" said the shopkeeper.
"But I didn't buy the trousers," replied Nasreddin. "I am not so stupid as to pay
for something which I never bought."

duck," he said. Nasreddin invited him in and gave him a good meal. The next day

a voice below call "Hello!" When he looked down, Nasreddin saw an old man in dirty
clothes standing below.
"What do you want?" asked Nasreddin.
"Come down and I'll tell you," called the man.
Nasreddin was annoyed, but he was a polite man, so he put down his tools. Carefully,
he climbed all the way down to the ground.
"What do you want?" he asked, when he reached the ground.
"Could you spare a little money for an old beggar?" asked the old man. Nasreddin
thought for a minute.
Then he said, "Come with me." He began climbing the ladder again. The old man
followed him all the way to the top. When they were both sitting on the roof, Nasreddin
turned to the beggar.
"No," he said.

5. Nasreddin and the Smell of Soup
One day, a poor man, who had only one piece of bread to eat, was walking
past a restaurant. There was a large pot of soup on the table. The poor
man held his bread over the soup, so the steam from the soup went into
the bread, and gave it a good smell. Then he ate the bread.
The restaurant owner was very angry at this, and he asked the man for money, in
exchange for the steam from the soup. The poor man had no money, so the restaurant
owner took him to Nasreddin, who was a judge at that time. Nasreddin thought about
the case for a little while.
Then he took some money from his pocket. He held the coins next to the restaurant
owner's ear, and shook them, so that they made a jingling noise.
"What was that?" asked the restaurant owner.
"That was payment for you," answered Nasreddin.
"What do you mean? That was just the sound of coins!" protested the restaurant owner.
"The sound of the coins is payment for the smell of the soup," answered Nasreddin.
"Now go back to your restaurant."

7. Two sisters and the cat
Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Smith are sisters. Mrs. Wilson lives in a house in
Duncan and Mrs. Smith lives in a condominium in Victoria. One day Mrs. Wilson visited
her sister. When her sister answered the door, Mrs. Wilson saw tears in her eyes.
"What's the matter?" she asked. Mrs. Smith said "My cat Sammy died last night and I
have no place to bury him".
She began to cry again. Mrs. Wilson was very sad because she knew her
sister loved the cat very much. Suddenly Mrs. Wilson said "I can bury your cat in my
garden in Duncan and you can come and visit him sometimes." Mrs. Smith stopped
crying and the two sisters had tea together and a nice visit.
It was now five o'clock and Mrs. Wilson said it was time for her to go
home. She put on her hat, coat and gloves and Mrs. Smith put the dead Sammy into a
shopping bag. Mrs. Wilson took the shopping bag and walked to the bus stop. She
waited a long time for the bus so she bought a newspaper. When the bus arrived, she
got on the bus, sat down and put the shopping bag on the floor beside her feet. She
then began to read the newspaper. When the bus arrived at her bus stop, she got off
the bus and walked for about two minutes. Suddenly she remembered she had left the
shopping bag on the bus.

8. Val's Garden
I am new to the city. I do not know anyone. But an old

woman lives next door. Her name is Val. She gives me a big box of vegetables.
She grows them in a garden by the sidewalk. There are carrots, tomatoes, beans, and
peas. They are the best vegetables I ever ate. Val lives alone, too. But she seems happy
in her garden. She loves plants. Sometimes, I can hear her talking to them. Maybe that
is why they grow so big.
One day, I stop seeing Val in the garden. I see people take many boxes from her home.
Weeds grow in her garden. The dirt is dry. The plants look sad. Val must have passed
on.
So I pull the weeds. I water the garden. I even talk to the plants.
Then a family moves next door. They are new to the city. They do not know anyone.
And I give them a big box of vegetables from Val’s garden.

10. GM Food
It is hard to be a farmer. Cold weather can kill your crops. Bugs can eat your
crops. Weeds can hurt your crops. Your crops may need more rain than they get. Fruits
and Vegetables can go bad before they are sold. Some people say farmers can fix all of
this with GM food.
What is GM food? All living things have DNA. DNA tells living things how to grow.
These days, people can change the DNA that tells food how to grow. When people
change the DNA of food, it is called GM food.
Some GM food can grow in cold weather. GM food can stop bugs from eating it. GM
fruits and vegetables can stay good longer. One day, GM food may be able to grow in
dry land in Africa. It will feed people who do not have much food.
But there is a lot we do not know about GM food. Will GM companies help poor people
grow food? Or do GM companies just want to get rich? Does GM food kill bugs we
need, like butterflies? Does GM food make birds sick? Does GM food make people sick?
We do not know. There have not been many tests on GM food.
Do you think farmers should grow GM food?

11. Tomatoes
The tomato is from South America. When the tomato came to Europe,
people did not eat it. Doctors said it would make them sick. So people just grew
tomatoes because they looked nice.
Now people from all over the world eat tomatoes. Tomatoes are used in sauce, soup,
juice, salsa, and ketchup. The tomato is very good for you. Only a tomato leaf or stem
will make you sick.
People do odd things with tomatoes. People grow tomatoes in space. There is a big
tomato fight every year in Spain. A long time ago, people would toss a bad tomato
when they saw a show they did not like.
In Canada, many tomatoes are grown on big farms. The farms bring in poor people
from far away to help grow tomatoes. Without these workers, the farms could not run.
But the workers do not get much money. Canada does not let the workers stay here.
Many people say this is not fair.
Most farms pick tomatoes before they are ripe. They last longer this way. But these
tomatoes do not taste as good. So lots of people grow their own tomatoes.
Grow Your Own Tomatoes
Tomatoes that you grow are better than tomatoes that you buy. You can grow
tomatoes inside if you do not have a garden.
You need:
 Tomato seeds
 A big pot (50 cm deep)
 Potting soil (many big food shops sell this)
 A window
Fill the pot with potting soil. Pack the soil down a little bit. Put a seed on top of the
soil. Add a bit more soil on top.
Add water. The soil must always be a bit wet. Seeds like to be warm. Put your pot in a
warm place. It does not need sun yet.
The plant will grow above the soil. Put the plant by a window. The plant needs four
hours of sun a day. You can tie the stem to a stick to help the plant stay up. Always
keep the soil a bit wet.
Pick the tomatoes when they are the same red colour top to bottom. Enjoy!

12 Canada's Tallest Tree

A man named Randy liked to hunt trees. He looked for big trees and old
trees. He made maps to show where these trees were. He did not want to cut them
down. He wanted people to take care of them.
Randy was told of a very tall tree on Vancouver Island. The tree was said to be 314 feet
tall. That would make it the tallest tree in Canada. Randy set out to find the tree.
But someone else found it first. It was found by a logger. Loggers wanted to cut down
Canada’s tallest tree and all the trees around it.
Randy made a path in the forest so people could see the tall tree. The tree was so big
and beautiful it would fill them with awe. More and more people wanted to save that
forest. Thanks to these people, that forest is now a park. Canada’s tallest tree is still
there.
There may still be a bigger tree out there. Maybe you will find it. But there are only a
few old forests left in Canada. Many are still at risk of being cut down.
