They have many of the same habits. They both like to lie in
their water dishes sometimes. Also, they both like to croak
a lot. Both of my frogs like to eat crickets and moths, and
they are both rather chubby. Harvey likes to eat worms too,
but MacDuff does not.

The Great Barrier Reef
I. Location and size
II. Plant and animal life
© 2005 BJU Press. Unauthorized reproduction prohibited.
The Great Barrier Reef lies off
the coast of Australia. It is the
largest coral formation in the world.
The 1,200-mile reef was formed
around a volcanic island many years
ago. The volcano has long since
disappeared, leaving the coral reef
and a lagoon. The reef is made up
of 350 different kinds of coral. It
might surprise you that coral is from
the same family as sea anemones
and jellyfish! Coral grows in many
shapes and sizes.
Some of the more interesting
types of coral are stinging coral,
organ-pipe coral, and black coral.
Stinging coral glows brightly. It has
jellyfish-like tentacles that have a
powerful sting. Organ-pipe coral
literally looks like organ pipes. It is
bright red and very fragile. Black
coral looks like a bunch of black
twigs. It grows in the deep parts of
coral reefs and is sometimes used
to make jewelry.
Many sea creatures thrive in the
reef, but some of them also harm it.
For example, the crown-of-thorns
starfish eats the soft part of the
coral. Many reefs have been
damaged by plagues of these
starfish.

Apples are a delicious snack. This fruit comes in many
varieties. Apples are in the rose family, and they produce
white flowers in the spring. Apple trees do well in areas
with moderately cold winters. Often apples are grown on
commercial farms. The apples are then sold to distributors,
who sell them to local stores. American growers ship this
fruit across the world. Many Washington apples are grown
in the United States. McIntosh apples are popular as well.
Doctors say eating an apple daily is a good idea, since
