This is a real story about a blind man and what he did to
overcome his difficulty.
“When you think things are not going well, think of

others that are in a worse situation, and how they still
have a big smile on their faces.”
A girl named Dana
7
Read the story. Circle the words that have the long “A sound” spelled ea or
eigh, like eighty.
Dana is eighteen years old. She lives in Wisconsin, just a few miles south of Lake
Superior, one of the Great Lakes. Another smaller lake is only about a mile away from
her house.
Dana always says that lakes are a big part of her life. She likes to go to Lake
Superior to watch the great ships go by. Some of the ships weigh thousands of tons.
Dana likes to pretend that she is a passenger on a freight ship on its way to a distant
country. She wonders how much she would add to the ship's weight. Probably not
much!
Dana also likes to go fishing in the small lake near her house.
At daybreak she pushes out in her rowboat. Her neighbor Fay often goes with her.
The girls usually get back by eight o'clock in the morning. On a good day they have fish
steaks for dinner. Now write a word that you circled in the story to complete each
sentence. 1. Dana lives close to one of the Lakes.

obvious revived simplify workable frustration approach
As a person who was blind, Morris Frank sometimes felt frusted

because he couldn't go out alone. Morris's father read to him about a new
approach being used to help people who are blind live more independent
lives. Morris learned that some people were training dogs to simplify
the lives of people who were blind. To Morris Frank, using a trained dog as a helper
sounded like a workable idea. The hope
he felt revived his spirit

He wrote a
letter to the dog
trainer in
Switzerland. The
trainer invited
Morris to come to
Switzerland, but
how he would get
there was not at
all
Obvious .
Answer these questions to tell what you think will happen in this selection.
1. What do you think Morris Frank wrote in his letter to the dog trainer?!
In his letter to the dog trainer, Morris Frank likely expressed his interest in the trained dogs
and inquired about the possibility of receiving training for one himself
How do you think Morris will get to Switzerland?
Morris will likely arrange for transportation to Switzerland, possibly by plane, in order to
meet with the dog trainer and receive training for his own guide dog.

by Jennifer Lien illustrated by Ed Martinez
Nineteen-year-old Morris Frank of Nashville, Tennessee, felt fortunate. Unlike most others
who were blind in the 1920s, he was attending college and working at a job. He could use a
stylus and paper to transcribe his notes for both in Braille. He had many friends and was asked
to lots of parties. One thing, however, caused him much frustration. Outgoing as he was, he
could no go out alone. He always needed a friend or a paid guide to lead him.
One evening in 1927, Frank father’s read aloud an
article written by an American woman living in
Switzerland. Dorothy Eustis wrote that dogs were being
trained in Germany to guide people who had become
blind in World War I. Frank became excited at what he
heard. What a great idea! Maybe having a guide dog
would be a workable approach to his problem.
Full of optimism, he wrote to Dorothy Eustis. If she
would train him with a dog, he promised, he would help
her start a program to help others.
Eustis invited Frank to come to Switzerland, but
how would he get there? His mother, who was also
blind, and his father, who owned a business, couldn’t travel with him. Frank was shipped over
by American Express.
Dorothy and George Eustis and another American, Jack Humphrey, had been breeding
German shepherd dogs. They had been training them for police and rescue work. Before Morris
Frank arrived, they traveled to Germany to learn how dogs were being trained to lead people
who were blind.
In Switzerland, Frank was
introduced to the beautiful
female German shepherd who
would share his life. Her name
was Kiss, but Frank called her
Buddy-a name the world would
come to know.
Buddy was fitted with a
harness to which a U-shaped
handle was attached. Her
trainers had devised this as a
way for Frank to feel her
movements. As they trained
together, her signals gradually
became more obvious to him.
Buddy had been educated,
rather than simply trained. A
guide dog must know when to refuse to do as it is asked. If the person who is blind gives the
command “Forward”, and a car is coming, the dog must not budge. Praise is the approach used
to educate a guide dog.
10
When Morris Frank boarded the steamship to return home, the difference in him was
obvious. With Buddy, he strode confidently about the
decks. His new independence revived his spirit as his
old frustrations blew away on the sea breeze.
When they arrived in New York, reporters
looking for a news break wanted to put them to a test.
Frank knew that it could be dangerous to enter New
York traffic with a dog trained in a Swiss village.
However, he decided the benefits to others
outweighed the risks. He and Buddy had to prove that
dogs could be guides for Americans who were blind.
He knew that this was a workable idea that could
simplify their lives.
His blood racing in his veins, Morris Frank gave
the command to Buddy. “Forward!” The city roared around the two of them as they stepped off
the curb. Frank concentrated on the signals coming to him through the handle connecting him to
Buddy. He knew he had to trust
his dog to get him safely across
the street.
It probably took only
eighteen or twenty seconds to
cross. To the watching
reporters, it felt like an age. Had
they doomed the brave man and
dog? When the pair made it,
everyone’s good spirits revived.
On the sidewalk, Buddy stood
calmly as trucks rumbled by. A
dog that could handle New York
traffic could obviously handle
traffic anywhere.
Morris Frank and Buddy
traveled all over the United States, proving to others that guide dogs could work in his country.
The two of them worked together with great precision. The faithful Buddy protected Frank an
simplified his life. She always stayed focused on her job.
Morris Frank and Buddy raised a great deal of interest in guide dogs. In 1929 Dorothy and
George Eustis and Jack Humphrey came to the United States. The four of them founded “The
Seeing Eye”, the first American training center to guide dogs. People who are blind in
dormitories there while they learn to handle their dogs.
Morris Frank worked and married, and Buddy continued to guide him for many years. She
was a true friend in need.

Think about it
1. Why is this story called “A friend in need”?
This story is called "A Friend in Need" because it highlights the deep bond and
invaluable assistance provided by Buddy, the guide dog, to Morris Frank.
2. How did Buddy and Morris Frank change the lives of many Americans who are
blind?
Buddy and Morris Frank changed the lives of many Americans who are blind by
demonstrating that guide dogs can be highly effective in helping individuals with
visual impairments navigate the world independently. They proved that with the
right training and trust, a guide dog can significantly enhance the quality of life for
someone who is blind.
Do you think Morris made a good decision when he let the reporters put him to the
test on such a busy New York Street? Explain.
Morris Frank's decision to let reporters put him to the test on a busy New York
Street was a bold one. While it posed risks, especially given the bustling traffic, it
was a calculated risk with a greater purpose. Morris understood that by
demonstrating the effectiveness of guide dogs in such a challenging environment, he
could potentially pave the way for greater acceptance and understanding of guide
dogs in the United States. Ultimately, his decision proved successful and contributed
to a broader acceptance of guide dogs as essential aids for the blind.
Think about what you have learned about Morris. Make a web (which is on page
18 of your Self-Instructional Module – Comp. 3) with words and phrases that
describe him. Then, using your web as a guide, write a descriptive paragraph
about Morris Frank.

“If we want to be part of the future, first we have to
construct the present”
Bertrand Piccard had a dream. He wanted

to be the first person to fly a hot-air balloon all
the way around the world.
In the 1980s and 1990s, many balloonists
tried to accomplish this challenging feat, but the
results were always disappointing. Something
went wrong each time, and the pilots had to give
up before they reached their goal. Only one
balloon was able to make it even halfway
around.
Twice Piccard had been one of those
unlucky pilots. Many wondered if around-the-
world ballooning might be an impossibility.
Piccard
didn’t think so.
That’s why, on
March 1, 1999,
he prepared to
make one more attempt. He needed a capable copilot, favorable
winds*, and lots of luck. He also needed to keep the balloon’s
windows clean. He put together a contraption that could do the
job.
Soon it was time for the balloon to take off. Many people gathered to watch Piccard and his
copilot Brian Jones leave. These eyewitnesses saw the event firsthand and could tell others
about this historic voyage
Although it was a great challenge and after many difficulties, on March 21, twenty days
later, they descended at last in the African desert , and they became the first men in flying a hot-
air balloon around the world.
winds* There is a river of air that circles the earth, flowing west to east, called Jet
Stream. Piccard and Jones knew that if they could enter it, it would carry the balloon
very fast, enabling them to save time and fuel, and so they did it.

22
When scientists were planning the first
space station, they had to keep the safety of the
astronauts in mind. A collision with a piece of
asteroid or meteorite could hurt the station's
crew. Scientists had the space station built with
materials strong enough to handle being hit by
shattered asteroid and meteorite bits.
23
Since repair people don't make service calls in space, the astronauts had to learn to repair
the space station themselves. They had to be not only good scientists and pilots, but capable
mechanics as well.
The first U.S. space
laboratory became a reality on
May 14, 1973, when Skylab was
launched. Skylab was sent into
orbit by the last of the Saturn V
rockets. The launch wasn’t
flawless. As Skylab accelerated
into space, two of its solar
panels were damaged. Crews
were later able to make repairs
and save the mission.
Skylab was the largest
crewed spacecraft ever. It was
118 feet long, and it weighed
one hundred tons! Two solar
panels stretched out like wings
from the body, and telescopic
panels were mounted on one end. It looked like a strange, beautiful

dragonfly with antennas.
Skylab had four areas of living space for the astronauts. There
was one for eating, one for sleeping, one for a bathroom, and one
for experiments. The astronauts had everything they needed.
The Skylab program was very successful. The station’s crews
studied the sun, crystals, metals, biology, astronomy, and, of course,
the Earth. The third and last crew stayed in space for 84 days! The
Skylab mission proved that extended
study in space was possible.
Skylab was not the world’s only space laboratory. In 1971 the Soviet Union sent the first of
the Salyut space stations into orbit. The goals of these missions were to improve space labs and
to conduct experiments.
Transmitters relayed to Earth the results of the experiments. By 1984 the Soviets had
launched seven Salyuts. Each was an improvement on the one before. In 1982 the Salyut 7 spent
a record 237 days in orbit.
The Soviets’ success with the Salyut stations led them to develop Mir, a more advanced
space station. Mir, launched in 1986, has less space for research and more space for the crew.
The station was made with docking ports so that other spacecraft could link with it. The ports
also allowed the Soviets to “plug in” more modules, and the space station grew much larger. In
time astronauts from the U.S. and other countries flew up to it and spent time there.
24
Mir has now served
many years longer than it
was planned to last. It will
soon be replaced
because it has become
unsafe. Luckily,
work on a new space station
has already begun.
At one time, Russia
planned a Mir 2 and the
U.S. began work on a
station called Freedom.
Then the Russians
suggested working
together to make
something bigger and
better. Now Japan, Europe, and Canada are involved too.
Do you wish you could be involved? You might be! Through new technology, students will
“visit” the space station and interact with the astronauts. Some classes will also have
experiments on the space station that they will conduct from their schools. Data will be relayed
by the station’s transmitters and antennas.
The first parts of the new space station are already in place. Many of its future crew
members are presently still students. Are you one of them? Will you live and work on the space
station one day?
