The Red Data Book.

I’ve fetched a special book from the library. It’s the Red Data Book. It’s a reference book on rare and disappearing animals. The color “red” is a danger signal understandable to all people in the world. The red color means “No passage! Stop!”. You have to think why many plants and animals disappear every day. The color red is one of blood and life. You should hear the world around you. A lot of animals, birds, plants and insects are included in the Red Data Book. I want to say some words about swans. The swans are good parents! The mother swan lays 5-7 eggs in spring. They are white or blue. Small swans come out grey or brown, not white. These kids stay with their parents for a year. They learn to swim, to fly and to find good green plants to eat. Their parents teach them and protect them from other animals and birds. Soon they become more independent. They swim with their brothers and sisters.
