CLUTCHING THREE BAGS, a woman in eastern Louisiana rushed through the woods. Rather than return the bags to their rightful owner, she hurled them into a creek as if they were on fire. Splash! In a panic, she fled.
They were the same three bags that deputies in Greensburg, Louisiana were searching for in November 2004. Nearly a week had passed since a local business had been robbed. Safes once stuffed with over seventy thousand dollars were now empty. Deputies conducted interviews and searched a wooded area but couldn’t find the cash.
All that time, the bags were in the creek. As water tumbled past them, a family of beavers set to work repairing their dam. Using their oversize teeth like power tools, they brought down trees. Like fingernails, beaver teeth never stop growing. If they did, they would wear out from constant use.
Some trees were stripped of their bark and left with gaping wounds. Others were taken down completely. As the beavers chiseled into a tree trunk, fresh woodchips spilled onto the ground. In the time it takes to pop microwave popcorn, the rodents whittled a small willow. Crash!

Chopsticks
Shay can never hold her chopsticks properly. When she uses them, they crisscross and make an X, and sometimes she cannot quite pick up the slippery pieces of tofu. Her mother laughs.
Matthias and the Dragons
STRIDING QUICKLY ALONG, Matthias glanced uneasily at the black stone cliffs towering beside him. Ahead, a still lake swarmed with dark clouds of midges. Finally, he spied the faraway ocean. Now I know my way back, he thought. I’d better hurry. We’re leaving the inn this afternoon, and Father won’t be too pleased if I’m late.
