At the stadium. The trouble is I don't think I can.

Why not?
play_circle
pause_circle
Because I ought to go to my grandma's birthday party.
play_circle
pause_circle
You can't miss that.
play_circle
pause_circle
No. How about you? What are you going to do?
play_circle
pause_circle
Well, I want to go shopping but I'm not sure if I will.
play_circle
pause_circle
Why not?
play_circle
pause_circle
Because I need to tidy my bedroom. It's in a terrible mess. And anyway I haven't got any money.
play_circle
pause_circle
Well, that's that then!

Deep Sea Discovery

"It going to be boring!" complained Jack. "I hate museums."
play_circle
pause_circle
"It not a museum, it's an aquarium," Dad explained.
play_circle
pause_circle
"Same thing," muttered Jack. "It'll be boring anyway."
play_circle
pause_circle
"There's a new exhibition," said Molly. "It's called Deep Sea Discovery. It was designed by scientists. You can operate a camera that is deep in the sea. I'd like to go there first."
play_circle
pause_circle
"Good idea," said Dad.
play_circle
pause_circle
"Huh!" grunted Jack.
play_circle
pause_circle
It was dim in the Deep Sea Discovery room.
play_circle
pause_circle
There were some video screens with desks in front and some controls.
play_circle
pause_circle
Molly went to the nearest desk and read the instructions.
play_circle
pause_circle
Then she began to work the controls.
play_circle
pause_circle
The black screen turned dark blue.
play_circle
pause_circle
"There aren't any animals," said Jack. "Come on. This is boring...oh!"
play_circle
pause_circle
At that moment an astonishing creature swam across the screen.
play_circle
pause_circle
It was red but the colour glowed warmly. It looked like a Chinese lantern.
play_circle
pause_circle
Suddenly, flashes of colour ran up its tentacles.
play_circle
pause_circle
It was as bright as an electric sign in the street.
play_circle
pause_circle
"That's so beautiful." whispered Molly.
play_circle
pause_circle
"Wow!" exclaimed Jack, pointing at the screen "Look at that!"
play_circle
pause_circle
A strange silver animal began to cross the screen.
play_circle
pause_circle
It was long and flat. It had lots of tiny tentacles along both sides of its narrow body.
play_circle
pause_circle
It flapped gently up and down as it moved through the water. It looked like a long silver wave.
play_circle
pause_circle
"This control turns the camera,"said Molly and she turned it away from the silver creature that was already disappearing into the gloom.
play_circle
pause_circle
"Can I have a go?" asked Jack.
play_circle
pause_circle
"Of course," replied Molly and she got up to let Jack sit down.
play_circle
pause_circle
For the next hour they watched one strange creature after another.
play_circle
pause_circle
There were crabs with such small bodies and such long thin legs that they looked like giant spiders.
play_circle
pause_circle
There was an eel with a long thin tail and an enormous head and mouth.
play_circle
pause_circle
It mouth was so big that it could eat fish as big as ltself.
play_circle
pause_circle
There were tiny squid that made light in their own bodies.
play_circle
pause_circle
They shone like little flashing stars
play_circle
pause_circle
There was a small furry sponge.
play_circle
pause_circle
There were big squid and jellyfish that you could nearly see right through.
play_circle
pause_circle
Some of them had long hairy tentacles.
play_circle
pause_circle
They floated around picking up bits of food.
play_circle
pause_circle
One jellyfish looked like a plastic bag with eyes.
play_circle
pause_circle
Another one looked like a big round cushion.
play_circle
pause_circle
There was an incredible creature that looked like a flower.
play_circle
pause_circle
It was called a sea lily but it was an animal.
play_circle
pause_circle
The parts of it that looked like leaves and flower were actually tiny tentacles.
play_circle
pause_circle
They picked up food and passed it to the animal's mouth in the middle of the folwer.
play_circle
pause_circle
After two hours, Dad said,"Do you want to go soon?"
play_circle
pause_circle
Jack looked round in surprise. "You're not bored already, are you, Dad?"he asked.
