Lesen regenbogen Article: Little Nino's Pizzeria

posted by hornean

My dad, Nino, makes the best pizza in the world.
I’m his best helper.

I help knead the pizza dough,

I help stir the pizza sauce,

and I help grate the cheese.

When the customers are finished, I know how to pick up their plates

and carry out the dirty dishes.

I help give the extra pizzas to hungry people in the alley who have no homes.

And…I help my dad serve our pizza pies!

People come from all over town to eat at Little Nino’s.
They wait in long lines because our restaurant is so small.

One night a man came to see my dad after the last pizza.
What did he want?

That night my dad told my mom we would be making lots Mehr money now.

The Weiter day, my dad locked up Little Nino’s. Soon he opened a big, fancy, expensive restaurant. He called it Big Nino.

I tried to help in the dining room. But the waiters tripped over me and spilled a lot of food.

I tried to help in the kitchen, but François the chef pushed me away.

I asked my dad how I could help, but he was too busy to even notice me.

No matter how I tried to be helpful, I was always in the way.

So I went home.

I missed Little Nino’s.

But then one night my dad came Home from Big Nino extra-tired. He said…

“I miss cutting tomatoes, and chopping onions, and kneading dough.…”

“I’m tired of so much paperwork and money talk,” he shouted. “I want…

I WANT TO MAKE PIZZA!”

And then he looked at me.
“Tony—my best helper!”

So the Weiter Tag we went back to Little Nino’s. Soon we reopened it, and the man from Big Nino got a new person to be in charge there.

My dad, Nino, still makes the best pizza in the world.
But he changed the name of our restaurant.

Little Tony’s!

Germs Make Me Sick!

posted by hornean

Du wake up one morning. But Du don’t feel like getting out of bed. Your arms and legs ache. Your head hurts. Du have a fever. And your throat is sore.
“I’m sick,” Du say. “I must have caught a germ.”
Everyone knows that germs can make Du sick. But everyone knows how.

Germs are tiny living things. They are far too small to see with your eyes alone. In fact, a line of one thousand germs could fit across the oben, nach oben of a pencil!
There are many different kinds of germs. But the two that usually make Du sick are bacteria and viruses.

Under a microscope, some bacteria look like little round...

Hot Air Henry

posted by hornean

Henry wanted to fly. Everybody in his family had gone up with the balloon, but The Man always declared, “I’m not flying with that cat!”

The Man had been taking pilot’s lessons, and this time he was going to solo.
Henry grumbled and his tail switched, as he watched the people crunch around on the crusty March snow.

The Kid and The Woman open the mouth of the colorful balloon, while The Man blew it up with a gasoline-powered fan. Then the Instructor blasted warm air into the balloon from the burner mounted on a frame below it.
“Watch your fuel gauge,” he told The Man. “You don’t want...

The milch Makers

posted by hornean

Cows are grazing in an open window. They are dairy cows, the milch makers.

Other Tiere make milk, too. But dairy cows make most of the milch we use.

There are five common breeds of dairy cows. The Holstein-Friesian is the most beliebt because it can produce Mehr milch than the other breeds.

A cow is able to make milch when she is two years old and has gegeben birth to a calf. Her milch is the Essen for her baby. She makes Mehr than her kalb will ever need—so we use the extra milk.

A few months after her kalb is born, a cow is bred again to have another calf. She will be pregnant for nine months. Two...

Gila Monsters Meet Du At The Airport

I live at 165 East 95th Street, New York City, and I’m going to stay here forever.

My mother and father are moving. Out West.

They say I have to go, too.
They say I can’t stay here forever.

Out West nobody plays baseball because they’re too busy chasing buffaloes.

And there’s cactus everywhere Du look.
But if Du don’t look, Du have to stand up just as soon Du sit down.

Out West it takes fifteen Minuten just to say hello.
Like this: H-O-W-W-W-D-Y, P-A-A-A-R-D-N-E-R.

Out West I’ll look silly all the time.
I’ll have to wear chaps and spurs and a bandana and a hat so big...

Alistair in Outer Weltraum

posted by hornean

Alistair Grittle was a sensible boy.

Every Tag he made a Liste of the things he had to do.
Then he made a Liste of things he did not have to do.

He was always on time for school. The school clock was set Von Alistair’s watch.

He hung up his jacke every night and put his shoes in plastic bags.

Alistair took especially good care of bibliothek books. He washed his hands before he read them so that he would not smudge the pages. And he always returned them to the bibliothek on time.

One day, when Alistair was returning his Bücher to the library, something unusual happened.

He was picked up Von a Weltraum ship and...

Digging Up Dinosaurier

posted by hornean

Have Du ever seen dinosaur skeletons in a museum?
I have.
I visit them all the time.
I went again yesterday.

I saw APATOSAURUS.

I saw CORYTHOSAURUS.

I saw IGUANODON and TRICERATOPS.
I like to say their names.

SCOLOSAURUS was just where I had left it.
And TYRANNOSAURUS REX looked as fierce as ever.
TYRANNOSAURUS used to scare me.
I still can’t believe how big it is.
Just its head is almost twice my size.

I’m not afraid of Dinosaurier anymore.
Sometimes I call them “you bag of bones” under my breath
I can spend hours looking at them.
I used to wonder where they came from and how they got into the museum....

Summer

Run outside to play in the warm summer sun where the gras, grass grows tall and sunflowers fill the fields.

Baby bears play just like you.
They grow fat and round on fresh summer gras, grass and learn to catch their first fisch abendessen down Von the riverbank.
Summer is time to learn and to grow.

Baby mountain schaf, schafe learn the safest path to summer meadows. gänschen, gosling wings grow stronger, their voices louder.

Up in the trees, the songs of spring suddenly soften. warbler, wobbler mothers and warbler, wobbler fathers, busy feeding their young, have little time to sing. Hummingbirds sip nectar for themselves and catch bugs for their tiny...

Sunken Treasure

posted by hornean

“It’s there! It’s really there!”
The rotting hull of a ship has been found on the ocean floor. Within the wreck lies a fabulous treasure.

The story of each underwater treasure hunt is different, but each goes back to the same beginning…the sinking of a ship. The story of the hunt for the Nuestra Señora de Atocha, a Spanish galleon, begins the same way.

THE ATOCHA
The Sinking

It is 1622. The Atocha with its fleet of sister ships, makes its way back from South America to Spain. The Atocha is a treasure ship, laden with gold, jewels, silver bars, and thousands of coins.

“Good morning,” sagte Wilbur.
“You’re late,” grumbled the director.
Wilbur had only ten Minuten to get made up, go to Wardrobe, and finish learning his lines.

“Hold still,” sagte Maxine, the makeup woman. “I have to make Du look strong and smart. It isn’t easy, Du know!” she joked.
With practiced skill, the Wardrobe Department transformed Wilbur into the Bionic Bunny.
First they snapped on his costume with the built-in muscles.
They tied his bionic sneakers, which made him taller.
They strapped on his bionic wristwatcher, which supposedly let him see anything anywhere.

WINTER MORNING
Von Ogden Nash

Winter is the king of showmen,
Turning baum stumps into snow men
And houses into birthday cakes
And spreading sugar over the lakes.
Smooth and clean and frost white
The world looks good enough to bite.
That’s the season to be young,
Catching snowflakes on your tongue.

Snow is snowy when it’s snowing
I’m sorry it’s slushy when it’s going.

SNOW
Von Karla Kuskin

We’ll play in the snow
And stray in the snow
And stay in the snow
In a snow-white park.
We’ll clown in the snow
And frown in the snow
Fall down in the snow
Till it’s after dark.
We’ll cook snow pies
In a big snow pan.
We’ll make snow eyes
In a round snow man.
We’ll sing snow songs
And chant snow chants
And roll in the snow
In our fat snow pants.
And when it’s time to go Home to eat
We’ll have snow toes
On our frosted feet.

WATCH ME ON THE WING

Sweeper: the deeper I can play
the faster I can lay
out my traps for their fullback
moving too close to mid field.
I shine along the sidelines
from mid field
back to our goal.

I am the quickest,
sharpest,
most intelligent,
(and
most modest,) player on
my
team:
in this league.

I have the
superspeed:
I have the need to do a little
more
than play only one position. I
defend. I score. I run lik
wind
across the mais fields of
this
town.
I am a brown tornado on a
muddy
day.
The opposition knows
I come to play with
all I bring. They
watch:

watch me on the wing.

SWEET

You are at the line. Du take a deep breath....

So everyone was happy when Ms. Frizzle announced, “Today we start something new.”

"We are going to study about our earth!" sagte Ms. Frizzle. She put us to work Schreiben reports about earth science.
“And for homework,” she said, “each person must find a rock and bring it to school."

But the Weiter day, almost everyone had some excuse.

Only four people had done their homework. And Phil was the only one who had found a real rock.
