A man called Randy was told of a very tall tree on Vancouver Island, Canada. The tree was said to be 314 feet tall. That would make it the tallest tree in Canada. Randy set out to find the tree.
But someone else found it first. It was found by a logger. Loggers wanted to cut down Canada’s tallest tree and all the trees around it. Randy made a path in the forest so people could see the tall tree. The tree was so big and beautiful it would fill them with awe. More and more people wanted to save that forest. Thanks to these people, that forest is now a park.
Canada’s tallest tree is still there. (from BC Reads: Adult Literacy Fundamental English – Reader 1 by Shantel Ivits)

Moon viewing day is on September 21 this year. You will be able to see a full moon if the weather is good. Many people in Japan will go outside to see it, and shops will sell special sweets for the occasion. But you don’t have to wait until next Tuesday to see a beautiful moon. I looked outside last night and saw a half moon. I used my binoculars to get a better view. It was smaller than a full moon, but the craters were very clear, especially near the dark side. You can see where the Apollo 11 astronauts landed if you look it up on a map of the moon. Don’t wait for Tuesday. Go out and take a look at the moon tonight. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
