Egypt!

Part one!

Egypt was a magical place, or at least its people thought so! Each 20 years, The Nile rises like magic!! YAY!! And your farm land is drowned. boo Oh right, do you think to get a 10/20 years off? No chance! Each time that happens, the The Pharaoh 
wants you to (drum roll) make this in 10 years!!!:
How? With 4,000 non busy people wandering around, It's easy to get recruits!
                      4 Jobs to be done!!
                          Craftsmanship                
                           
                          Stone Quarry
    
                             Designers
                    
                               Movers        

                                   

                    Craftsmanship  

The Pharaoh Wants his precious gold and gems and Your the one to give it. or else!


                              YUP! this is what he wants:                                                                

And using a rock and materials, this is what he                                                             gets:

And you get paid with a roof over your head and food. Not fair right! But with a or else at the end of it ,you should do what he what he wants!....Right?



                                             Stone Quarry    

He needs stone for his pyramid And it doesn't fall from the sky, it comes from little paid workers like you! And its a Stone quarry for you! and you just get to waste time!(For twenty years,of course)And no choice!(again)


                                      Designers

 The pyramid is needing a designer and if you did it then, (according to him) You actually have a Really easy job. Just design this :





                                                                                                          And you're done. Yay!


                                

Movers

HARDEST JOB!!!!! Unless You love weight lifting, this job is not for you.The stone goes uphill to make the pyramid. Thanks to this simple machine its easy enough to survive:
                                                                            



This is part one, so Thanks!

#Q.P.!# Quick update on my knowedge.

The tundra is a land that's plentiful in a lot of stuff, such as fur, gold, life cycles, mountains, food chains, feathers(Lots!) And more!


This is the same as

 Lot of trees,deer,bears foxes,voles,animals are the plenty there! And there's also so many
this!
plants! So in the (un)simple world of a tundra, The world there is Eat or be Eaten, or that is at least what the food chain thinks! Its right ,too!

American Folk Classic Tales Retold by Charles Sullivan

I like this folktales book a lot. The folktales book has a huge variety of folktales, From   "John Henry never quits"   To "Daniel Boone met his wife while chasing deer", It had me reading nonstop! I love the amount of categories such as:

                                                 Characters larger then life.
                                               Outlaws,Crooks and Cheaters
                                                     Heroines and Heroes
                                                 Other Colorful Characters
                                                    Incredible Animals 

 That's the collection, People!
 From the famous "Paul Bunyan" to the infamous "Black Bart" The Characters will keep you laughing and crying till the last page! Oh,the book is soooo cool,  so cool in fact, that I think this book is just perfect for a birthday present to a over whelming reader.I like folktales a lot, and the pictures too!

#Q.P.!# Quick update on my knowedge.

I decided to shave off my hair because of this rather recent study at Pennsylvania's Wharton School.
They have found out that the men that shave/or bald look taller and are stronger than people that don't. 

 




And because I'm bald, I want you to vote for me.
