Lesnov demonstrated the first 'walk' in space outside his spacecraft. The most astonishing feature was in 1969 when Neel Armstrong first stepped on the moon.

The Stoty of A Rupee Note.

Image
I was Printed in England in 1981 and i had a journey to Sri Lanka. It was a pleasant trip across oceans and mountains with my companions. When we landed at theKatunayake Airport, we were handed over to the treasury officers. We were  then taken to the Treasury in Colombo.We were placed in a huge safe. We were watched by a guard of armed police. After about one month we were taken to the jaffna Government Agent. There we were separated to be used to build a houpital. We were handed over to a rich contractor. He put us in the bank. There we were in the safe again. Then a few months later. When I came out, I saw I was given to a poor man. My value was equal to one pound of Austeralian butter. But now we are equal to one eigth pound of Sri Lankan local buter. At last the Minister of Finance ordered us to be destroyed and ordered the use of two rupee coins only. We arestill waiting to be burnt to ashes.

The engines started. It madea horrible noicethat made me sack. Then we were high up in he clouds. Suddenly we heard a terrible explosion. I was very frightened and I screamed. When I opened my eyes I was on the floor. Then I realised that it was only a dream.

My Favourite Hobby

Image
  Many children have different hobbies suchas reading collecting stampsand post cards. collecting stickers. keeping pets etc. My favourite hobby is collecting sea shell. I like reding and collectting stickers too. But my favouritehobby is collecting sea shells. I have collected more than 100 sea shells some are plain and some are coloured. I make small chains and bracelets out of them for my dolls. I keep my tiny sea shells in a plastic box and other ones I keep in my fish tank. Even though I do not live by the sea I go to the beach every week. So I spend my time collecting them. One dayI got a present from my friend. it was a big box full of sea shells. I wasvery happy. Tn it there was a big white one. One day I give my sister a bracelet made out of sea shells. She was very happy. I spend my leisure counting them. In hope my hoppy will be useful for me in the future. I like my hobby very much.
