31、by colonists. Not only did this fat and flightless bird become delicious food for humans, it also became prey for dogs, cats and pigs.

Yet, we cannot enrich the minds of our students by testing them on texts that ignore their hearts. We are teaching them that words do not amaze but confuse. We may su
