Hummingbirds

Have you ever seen the tiny bird that never stops flying? Do you know its name? Have you seen how its wings flap so fast? Have you heard a bird humming? It is called a hummingbird. It is one of the smallest birds. It is shorter than a pack of gum. Its long bill helps it drink the juice out of flowers. The juice is called nectar. Hummingbirds have tongues to catch insects. Their tongues are sticky. Flying makes them very hungry. That is why they are always looking for flowers. They are always drinking nectar. They live in forests, deserts, parks, and in the mountains. They live in fields and in valleys. Hummingbirds build nests for their babies anywhere they can find a quiet spot. They hunt for bugs and juice. The mother brings the food back to feed the babies. If you see a bird that is flying quickly and is very tiny, it might be a hummingbird! Keep watching!

Cola

Do you like cola? Many people do. It is a soft drink that looks like syrup. It is brown and sweet. It can be in a can, or it can be in a glass. It can be in a tall thin bottle. One kind, called Coke®, was invented on May 8, 1886. The man who made it was John Pemberton. He was a man who made medicine for sick people. He was also an inventor. John made many kinds of syrup. He made pills and syrups to make people feel better. He sold them in a store. John also made a drink that people liked to sip for fun. It was made out of wine, coffee beans, and caffeine. One day a new law was made. No one could use wine. No one could drink it. John still wanted to make money. He still wanted to sell his drinks, but they could not have wine in the drink. He put sugar and fruit in the mix. It looked good, and it had a good taste. People loved it. It was called Coca-Cola®. John made the drink we have today.
