In front of the house was a beach. Peter liked to stretch on the sand when the sun was warming
it. From the back door of the house he would walk along a path as far as the sand and stand at the
water’s edge looking at the sea. When nothing very interesting was happening on the water, he would
go down on his knees and take a handful of sand. Through his fingers ran the sand until only small
stones and shells were left. Then, with a large sweep of his arm and with as much strength as he could
muster, Peter would throw them away as far as he could.
At other times, he would go on his back and gaze up at the clouds, his hands idly searching the
sand at his sides. He never stopped playing with the sand and feeling it run through his fingers,
however much he was absorbed by the changes in the clouds.
Occasionally, some fishing boats came close enough to the beach for Peter to see what the
fishermen were doing. Then when his hands clasped he would look and look, while his whole body
moved with the boat from side to side. When the fishermen drew in their nets or casts them into the
water, Peter would do the same with an imaginary net of his own from his place on the beach.
On this small beach, Peter had a world of his own.

 Iron is only one chemical element. Steel, on the other hand, is a mixture of least 2 elements – iron and
carbon. Steel may have as much as 1.5 percent carbon in it. But the steel we use most often has only 0.2 percent
carbon in it. Besides carbon, steel may have small amounts of other metals that have been put into the “melt” on
purpose.
Metals like manganese, found in some forms of iron, can improve the quality of steel. But there are also
some elements found in steel which do not belong. An element such as sulfur can ruin steel. Steel makers try
their best to get rid of it.
Without the use of steel, the face of the world today would look a lot like the way it did in the middle
1800’s. We would not have tall skyscrapers, huge steamships, cars, planes, and large machines to make life
easier.
