No one had tried to break the window. It was simply an accident. Rosemary and Leslie were playing
basketball in front of Rosemary's garage. As usual, Leslie had won.
It wasn't that Rosemary wasn't a skilled basketball player. In fact, she was exceptionally talented. She had a
superior jump shot. She could dribble equally well with both hands. She was accomplished at grabbing rebounds. The
trouble was that she easily became distracted. In the middle of a game she would see a neighbour's automobile drive
by. Instead of concentrating on playing basketball, she would wave to say hello. Sometimes, in the middle of taking a
shot, she would begin thinking about what she wanted for dinner.
Anyway, after the game was finished, Leslie threw the ball to Rosemary. As usual, however, Rosemary was
thinking about something else. The ball sailed straight past her and through the living room window.
"Oh, no!" shouted Leslie. "We have to go explain to your parents".
"You're right", said Rosemary. "Let's find them before they come to us".

In Greek mythology, Zeus and Hera were the leaders of the Greek gods. They were husband and wife. Hera
sometimes became angry with Zeus when he spent too much time away from home.
Sometimes, Zeus went to the mountains to play with the forest creatures who lived there. Hera always chased
after him because she taught Zeus was wasting time. But every time Hera entered the forest, a charming creature
named Echo chatted with her and distracted her until Zeus had escaped.
When Hera figured out the Echo had been tricking her, she was furious. "Your talk has made a fool of me!"

Can a sea lion be trained to use a video camera? That's what a scientist, Dr. James Harvey, wants to find out.
He's training two sea lions named Beaver and Sake to use video cameras underwater. With the cameras strapped to
their backs, the sea lions will film gray whales diving off the coast of California. The video will help Harvey learn
more about how the whales behave in the deep sea.
Harvey says humans can't dive deep enough to film the whales. Humans also scare the whales away. Sea lions

It's 2010 and you have to mow the lawn. You grab robot grass cutter and toss it in the backyard. Minutes later,
the frisbee-shaped robot is nibbling away at the grass, and you're headed for the beach.
Yes, mowing the lawn will be that simple, says Mark W.Tilden, a scientist who studies robots. Tilden shares
his Los Alamos, New Mexico, home with more than 50 robots. His robotic roommates range from credit-card-sized
floor cleaners to creatures that report on break-ins. Others wash windows, kill flies, and yes, cut the grass.
Tilden's robots don't rely on humans to power them. Instead, they draw energy from the sun, lamps, and
televisions. Tilden constructs his robots from pieces of broken Walkmans, VCRs, computers, calculators, CD players,
TVs, and toys - anything he can find. "All the parts you need to build a robot are sitting in the bottom of your junk
drawer," he says. Whoever thought making robots could be that easy!
