Diogenes was a famous thinker. He lived in Greece about two thousand years ago. He taught that the way to be happy was to own as few things as possible. All he owned was a big jar that he lived in, a coat, a bag and a cup. He was very happy. One day, Diogenes saw a boy drinking water from his hands by a fountain, so he threw away his cup and became even happier. (See Greece)
DINOSAURS
DIOGENES
Dinosaurs lived on the Earth over sixty million years ago. This was a long time before people existed. Dinosaurs lived everywhere. Some were as small as chickens. Others were as big as ten elephants. Some dinosaurs even had wings and could fly.
Dinosaurs all died out suddenly. Nobody knows why. We know about the lives of dinosaurs from the skeletons, eggs and footprints they left behind. (See Earth History)
Many dinosaurs were harmless. They were as gentle as sheep and ate plants. Others were harmful. They were fiercer than tigers and ate meat.
Disney was born in the USA. After leaving school, he sold newspapers and delivered mail. At the same time, he studied art at night. Finally he got a job that he really liked—drawing cartoons for films.
DISNEY, WALT
Disneyland is a famous amusement park in the USA. Disneyland was created by Walt Disney(1901-1966),who is famous for his cartoon characters: Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Snow White and many others
Disney’s most famous cartoon character, Mickey Mouse, was a real mouse. It sometimes sat on Disney’s desk while he was working. Disney drew the mouse and put it in a cartoon. Soon Mickey became a star and Disney became rich and famous. (See Cartoons)

Dinosaurs lived on Farth more than sixty thousand years ago. People existed before dinosaurs. Millions of dinosaurs lived in high mountains. They were all very big and they couldn't fly because they had no wings.
All the dinosaurs were harmful because they were fiercer than tigers and ate meat. Nobody knows why dinosaurs all died suddenly, so we can't know anything about their lives
