Why do we get lice? Lets go and see what can the answer be?
23
and you take a closer look, you may see little insects wriggling around. They are head lice.
But why do lice like to live on our heads?
as it is just the right temperature for them! They can also find food on our heads.
Really? What do they eat?
They pierce our skin with tiny spines in their mouth. This does not hurt. Then they suck up our blood.
24
4. Before sucking up
Funfacts
our blood, lice inject saliva under our skin. This makes the blood more liquid and the lice can suck it up more easily. Our skin protects itself against the saliva and forms a little spot. That is what makes us itch.
Lice do not jump or fly but they walk fast. Your head just needs to touch a place where there are lice, like a friends head, for example. Then the lice can climb onto your head.
Now I understand! Lice come onto our heads to find food and heat!
Female lice lay 10 eggs a day! The eggs are called nits. They stick to hairs. A week later, the nits turn into baby lice.
Washing your hair will not get rid of lice as they do not drown in water. You need to use a special shampoo and also comb your hair with a fine-toothed comb to get rid of the nits.

Beavers
North American beavers spend their time swimming, cutting down trees and carrying branches around. Why are they so busy?
28
1 metre
This beaver is using his strong teeth to gnaw at the trunk of a tree growing by a river. When the tree falls down, he will cut off the branches one by one.
The beaver is carrying a branch. He swims with his back feet. They are webbed like a ducks feet. He swims past the lodge (home) that he built in the middle of the river. But where is he going?
30
This is where he was heading! The beaver is using branches and mud to strengthen the dam that he built across the river. The dam causes a deep pond to form around the lodge.
Look out! There is a bear! The beaver slaps the water with his tail. Splash! Splash! Other beavers nearby hear the noise and know that there is danger. But what is the beaver going to do now?
31
He dives under the water and joins his mate and kits inside the lodge. The lodges entrance is hidden below the surface of the water. The dam keeps the water level high and stops other animals from getting inside. The beaver family will be safe and dry until the bear wanders off
32
There are two types of beavers. North American beavers build lodges. Eurasian beavers prefer to dig burrows in river banks.
A beavers tail is covered in scales. It helps beavers to stand up on their back legs. It also acts as a rudder so they can change direction in the water.
When beavers swim, only their nose, eyes and ears stick out of the water.

T h r o u g h a l l the pleasant meadow-side The grass grew shoulder-high Till the shining scythes went far and wide And cut it down to dry. These green and sweetly smelling crops They led in waggons home; And they piled them here in mountain tops For mountaineers to roam. Here is Mount Clear, Mount Rusty-Nail, Mount Eagle and Mount High; The mice that in these mountains dwell, No happier are than I! Oh, what a joy to clamber there, Oh, what a place for play, With the sweet, the dim, the dusty air, The happy hills of hay!
