The famous composer Rakhmaninov was also a very good pianist. When he was a small boy he was asked to play at a home party at a friend's place. Though he was only eight he was quite experienced in playing the piano and did it well. At that concert he was to play one of
Beethoven's sonatas. It must be mentioned that there are several very long intervals in that sonata.
In each of these intervals the boy took his hands off the keyboard and waited, puring one of these intervals the old mother of the hostess came up to him and said, «My boy, why don't you play something that
you know much better?» 

The Monarch Butterfly
The Monarch butterfly is a remarkable insect. It is a very powerful flyer. Some of them travel over 1000 miles during their short life.
Before their migration to the South begins, they spend all their time eating nectar to get energy for their long-distance flight. The Monarch butterflies spend winter in the South and made their way back to the North individually, not in groups
