The world out of doors is full of secrets. There are so many secrets, and they are so interesting that
thousands of men and women, boys and girls are busy studying them. All around us are birds, animals,
trees and flowers. The facts about how they live and grow are interesting.
Do you know that one of the greatest presidents of the USA spent hours and hours studying birds?
A businessman who lived near New York City became so interesting in insects that he began to collect
them. He now has over one thousand different kinds of insects. He kept them carefully in glass boxes.
Then, come with me, and I will help you find some of the nature's secrets. Let us go quietly through
the forests and fields. Here we shall find how a hare tells the other hares where the danger is. We shall
follow a mother bear and her young babies as they try to look for food and get ready for their long
winter sleep. We shall watch bees dancing in the air to tell the other bees where they can find food. I'll
show you many other interesting things. But please remember to use your eyes and ears carefully when
you go out of the doors. Nature tells the secrets only to people who look and listen carefully.
