Colourful Rainbow

The Ugly Duckling

It was a beautiful summer, the wheat was yellow, the oats were green, and the hay was dry. From the old ruined house which nobody lived in, down to the edge of the canal, was a forest of great burdocks. It was under these burdocks that a duck had built herself a warm nest, and was sitting all day on six pretty eggs. Five of them were white, but the sixth, which was larger than the others, was of an ugly grey colour. The duck was always puzzled about that egg, and how it came to be so different from the rest.

She had looked at the eggs at least a hundred and fifty times, when, to her joy, she saw a tiny crack on two of them. Next morning she was rewarded by noticing cracks in the whole five eggs, and by midday two little yellow heads were poking out from the shells. This encouraged her so much that, after breaking the shells with her bill, so that the little creatures could get free of them, she sat steadily for a whole night upon the nest, and before the sun arose the five white eggs were empty. 

Toads and Diamonds

Once upon a time there was a widow who had two daughters. The elder was very disagreeable and arrogant, just like her mother and no one could stand her. 

The younger girl was kind and good, just like her father and her beauty was remarkable. But the mother loved only her elder daughter, because she had her likeness and disliked the other one, in spite of her beauty and goodness, treating her like a servent.

 Her mother used to send her twice a day to a spring a half mile away, to bring water into a pitcher. One day when she arrived at the spring an old woman appeared before her, begging for a drink. 

"I will gladly help you. Here is some water for you to quench your thirst" said the beautiful girl, handing her the pitcher, full of water, lifting it up so that she could drink more easily.

The Little Rabbit Who Wanted Red Wings

Once upon a time there was a little White Rabbit with two beautiful long pink ears and two bright red eyes and four soft little feet- such a pretty little White Rabbit. But he wasn't happy!....

Just think, this little White Rabbit wanted to be somebody else instead of the nice little Rabbit that he was. When Mr. Bushy Tail, the gray squirrel, went by, the little White Rabbit would say to his Mummy, 
"Oh, Mummy, I wish I had a long gray tail like Mr.Bushy Tail's."

Teori Pembentukan Bumi

Latar Belakang

Bumi adalah planet tempat tinggal seluruh makhluk hidup berserta isinya. Sebagai tempat tinggal makhluk hidup, bumi tersusun atas beberapa lapisan bumi, bahan-bahan material pembentuk bumi, dan seluruh kekeyaan alam yang terkandung di dalamnya. Bentuk permukaan bumi berbeda-beda, mulai dari daratan, lautan, pegunungan, perbukitan, lembah, danau dan sebagainya. Bumi sebagai salah satu planet tidak diam seperti apa yang kita pikirkan selama ini, melainkan bumi melakukan perputaran pada porosnya (rotasi) dan bergerak mengelilingi matahari (revolusi) sebagai pusat sistem tata surya. Hal inilah yang menyebabkan terjadinya siang dan malam dan pasang surut air laut. Oleh karena itu proses terbentuknya bumi tidak terlepas dari proses terbentuknya tata surya kita.

Teori Pembentukan Bumi

Penyelidikan pertama pada abad ke-19 berdasarkan fosil dan batuan (secara geologi), bumi terbentuk pada 4,6 milyar tahun yang lalu (4,600 jta tahun yang lalu). Seluruh tata surya kita terbentuk dalam waktu yang sama. Bumi sebagai tempat tinggal makhluk hidup dalam proses terjadinya di kaji lewat ilmu kosmografi. Berikut beberapa hipotesa/ hipotesis terjadinya bumi yaitu sebagai berikut :
