The tree of Mexico is a beatiful sight
With colors of blue
There are crosses, balls and flowers
It seems so calm like a bird in a tree

A 6th grade class room then was not so very cool You would see bell bottoms & belts guaze shirts too Girls had puffy hair and skirts they wore to school They also wore the platform shoes. A 6th grade class room now you dare not say groovy you see all the kids wearing baggy pants and shirts Girls have high heeled shoes with very short shorts
And thats the differance between now and then.

horse
hoofed, herbivorous MAMMAL of the family Equidae,
the single living genus of which is Equus, which
includes the domestic horse, the wild Przewalski's horse,
the ASS, and the ZEBRA. All are swift, plains-dwelling
herd animals with teeth adapted for grinding coarse
grass. The species can interbreed (see MULE), but
offspring are usually sterile. The modern horse evolved
in North America (where it later became extinct) and
spread over the world. It was hunted by early humans
and domesticated by Asian nomads in the 3d millennium
B.C. The fast, light southern breeds may have originated
independently of the heavier northern draft breeds, and
the small breeds called ponies may have evolved from a
wild European race. Until the mid-20th cent. horses were
widely used for warfare, agriculture, and transportation.
Today light breeds are used for show and sport.
Cats
and humans have a long history together. Archaeological
evidence of this relationship dates to 8,000 years ago.
They come from the island of Cyprus, where the bones of
cats, mice, and humans have been found together. All
three of these species first appear on Cyprus at the
same time. Apparently humans brought the other two to
the island, the mice by accident and the cats on
purpose.
In the beginning, cats were probably tolerated by humans because they killed the mice and rats that ate their food stores. Full domestication of the cat as a household companion likely occurred in Egypt about 4,000 years ago. To overcome the natural fear that wild cats had of humans, they were most likely captured as kittens and hand-reared.
The following information lists the thirty-six currently recognized breeds of domestic cat. Although some breeds are more than 500 years old, most have appeared during the past century, and new breeds are being developed.
