 “People usually sing because they like music or because they feel happy.They express their happiness by singing. When a bird sings, however, its song usually means much more than that the bird is happy. Birds have many reasons for singing. They sing to give information. Their songs are their language.
 The most beautiful songs are sung by male birds. They sing when they want to attract a female bird. It is their way of singing that they are looking for a wife.
 Birds also sing to tell other birds to keep away. To a bird, his tree or even a branch of tree is his home. He does not want strangers to come near him, so he sings to warn them.
 If a bird cannot sing well, he usually has some other means of giving important information. Some birds dance, spread out their tails or make others sing. One bird has a most unusual way of finding a wife. It builds a small garden of shells and flowers.”

The origins of the Olympic Games can be traced back to ancient Greece, to as far back as 776 B.C. It was a Greek tradition to hold athletic competitions every four years in honour of their gods or dead heroes.
The prizes awarded to the winners of each event in those days were a crown of olive and a palm branch. Although this may seem meaningless in modern times, the true prize lay in the honour of having won the event. The winners were given places of honour on public occasions. In some towns they even exempted from paying taxes.
The first modern Olympic games were held in Athens in 1896. Since then, nations from around the world have been meeting every four years to compete against one another. New Olympic records are set every time they meet. The only exception to this quadrennial event was in 1944, when the Olympic games were not held because of the Second World war. {trace: find the origin of}
