An old man and a young girl were

fishing from the dock. They were watching

the tourists boarding the glass bottom boats

for Managaha. The girl looked puzzled and

turned to ask her grandfather, "Where do

those people come from? Why do they look so different from us?"

The old man smiled . He knew his

granddaughter was intelligent and he enjoyed

answering her questions. "They are from

Japan. Japan is an island north of the Mariana Islands."

The girl put down her pole and asked, "Is it far from here?"

"Yes, it ' s over 1,600 miles away. It

takes over four hours to fly there."

"Is it as big as our island?"

"Oh, it's even bigger," the grandfather

answered. "It ' s bigger than all of the

Mariana Islands put together."

"Yes, there are many islands . l' 11

the other islands of Micronesia like the

Marshalls, Truk and Ponape and other groups

of islRnds in the Carolines. There are also

the Polynesian islands like Samoa and

Tahiti."

"Grandpa, are any of those islands as

big as Japan?"

"No, but on each side of the Pacific

there are continents much bigger than Japan . "

"Bigger?" the girl asked.

"Yes, to the east there is North and

South America. To the west you'll find

there is Asia and to the south there is

Australia."

As they were talking a large ship

appeared in the harbor. It seemed to grow

bigger and bigger as it neared the island.

"Wow, that ship is really big," the

girl said.

The girl grinned and said the United States.

"Yes, it's bringing clothes and toys and

many kinds of food which don't grow here on our island. Other ships bring us radios and

cars and special foods we get from Japan."

Direction means which way. It i s im­

portant to us. If we know how to tell direc­

tions, we will know which way we are going.

There are many ways to tell direction.

Look at the pictures on this page . They

show two ways to tell directions. Do you know what they are? Can you do what they

are doing?

A grid helps us to locate things on a

map. A grid is made of lines. Some lines go fro~ North to South. Some lines go from

East to West. The lines cross each other.

Use the grid on this page to locate the

objects. The key tells you where they are.

The church is in box 2D. Find the 2 and the

D with your fingers. Follow the lines until

your fingers meet at the church. The coco­

nut trees are in lB. Can you find them?

Where is the flower garden? Where is the

big tree? Can you tell a friend where to

find the bicycle? There are houses in two

boxes. Where are the houses? Give the let­

Which way?

Two children decided to walk to

their class picnic. They lived

near Capitol Hill. The picnic was

at Micro Beach. We have walked past this tree

before. I think we are lost.

No, we are on the right trail. I

looked at the map. This trail

goes to the highway. The highway

goes to Micro Beach.

I hope you are right. I want to

get there before they eat.

The children walked and walked.

They worried because they could

not see the beach. Juanita

worried too. Suddenly she spoke.

A Map tells Direction

Maps are important to us. They show us

directions. They tell us how to go from one

place to another. Look at the map. Which

direction is the church from the hotel?

Which direction does the highway run?

Look at the map of the Marianas Islands.

Some islands are North of Saipan. Some

islands are South of Saipan. Can you name

the islands which are North of Saipan? Can

you name the islands which are South of Saipan?

Maps

Maps are useful to us. There are many

kinds of maps. Some maps help us find

places. Some maps help us find our way.

Maps use symbols. Symbols are pictures

of real things. The symbols are explained in the key or legend.

A compass rose is used on a map to show

directions. It shows North, South, East,

and West. Usually the top of a map is North

but you should look at the compass rose to be sure.

Look at the map of Juan's back yard.

Use the symbols, key and compass rose.

Tell a friend everything you know about Juan's back yard.

Dear Mariko,

My name is Maria. I am in the third

grade. I want to be your pen pal. Can you

tell me about Japan? Is it really as big as

all of the Marianas Islands together? Here is a map of my island. I want to

tell you about Saipan. There are many

beautiful places to go. There are many

beautiful things to see.

The mountains are the highest part of

our island. It is cool on top of the

moun tains. We can see beautiful views from

the mountains. The hills are lower than the

mountains. There are high cliffs on the

edge of the mountains. We can find caves

along the cliffs.

The ocean around our island is also

beautiful. The reef protects our island from the rough sea, and there are long sandy

beaches. Between the reef and the shore is

the lagoon. The water in the lagoon is

clean and clear. At low tide it is shallow and you can walk into the water without fear

of drowning. There is a channel through the reef so

that the big ships can come into the harbor.

Most of the people live on the west side of

the island. You can see many houses and

villages on the west side. In the center of our island there ls a

lake. There are many fish in the lake and

many wild birds live there. You can even

see white ducks.

On the east side of the island is a

beautiful bay. You can enjoy the beautiful white sandy beaches there. But to the north

there are steep cliffs which drop into the sea.

There are many interesting places to

visit on our island. One is an interesting rock called the Old Man by the Sea. It is

a big rock which looks like the face of an old man. Another is the Grotto. From the

ocean it looks like a cave but if you look

down from above it looks like a tea kettle.

At the bottom there is a beautiful blue

ocean. Many tourists and islanders walk

down the steep path to swim in the pool.

Others just enjoy the beautiful view.

Why Is the Reef Important?

A barrier reef is usually long and narrow. It stretches as long as the island.

It is very helpful to our island. The

barrier reef protects our island from the

ocean. It stops the big waves from coming

onto our island. It slows the waves so that

they do not harm us.

Look at the map. Do you see the barrier reef on the west side of the islands?

There is a fringing reef on the east side

of our islands. Can you see it on the map? Do you know why?

Where Does The Reef Corne From?

The~e are many small animals called

polyps. Polyps look like jellyfish. These

animals live in groups. They gather iu

warm, shallow water. When they <lie their

skeletons pile up. They form a wall of

coral around the island. The coral forms

many shapes an<l figures. It looks

like trees, flowers and deer horns. Coral

walls build and build until they reach

the surface of the water.

is like a picture taken from an airplane. Maps can show mountains,

hills, valleys and plains. Can you find Mt. Tagpachao? Maps can show

bays, beaches, and the reef too. Find Laulau Bay. \.fhich side of the

island is it on? What about the cliff? What are some of the formations

on the island? Can you see the lagoon?

List the formations that you see.

Too Much Rain

Sometimes we have too much rain. That

is a problem. The water fills up the space

in the ground. No more water can go into

the ground. The water floods the land.

The extra water fills the streams. Hard

rain also damages the leaves on the plants.

Too much rain is bad for plants. Compare the two pictures.

Too much rain causes other problems.

When it rains for days and days and does

not stop, it causes erosion. The rain

washes the dirt away. The dirt goes with

the water. It flows toward the ocean.

His father said, "It is condition

two. The governor asked all workers

to prepare for the typhoon."

"Do some people work during the

typhoon?" Jose asked.

"Yes," his father answered, "the

police, doctors, public works and radio

stations are working."

Next, Jose helped his mother in

the house. They moved the furniture

away from the doors. They took the

pictures off of the walls. They put

the s t atues in the trunk. They filled

containers with water and packed their

sleeping mats and blankets.

During the night they could hear noises outside. They were worried so

they said a prayer. They listened to

the radio. Some people slept. Some

people played cards. Jose was just

lying on his mat when his father asked, "Are you frightened?"

"No, I'm worried about my chickens," he said.

"Don't worry. The chickens know

where to hide. Go to sleep," his

father said. So Jose feel asleep.

When t he elec tric lights went out, Jose's father lit their lamp. The radio

gave the news until six in the morning.

Jose looked out of the window. He could

see the broken trees. Around ten o ' clock

it was very calm. Some people went out

to look at the damages.

Jose ' s father called him, "It is

not good to go out yet. We are in the

middle of the storm. Soon the other side will hit us."

"What do you mean?" Jose asked. His father explained, "The wind

is moving in a circle . At first the

wind comes from the east. When the eye or center passes, the wind comes

from the west." Jose listened to his father. He

knew that his father was intelligent. Suddenly, the wind began to blow from

the wes t just like his father had said.

The people who were outside ran into t he room . Jose saw one little boy

crying . A man ran out and picked him

up. There was something hanging from

the boy's foot. Jose's father went to

help.

When his father returned Jose asked, "Is he alright?"

"Yes, he stepped on a nail. His father pulled it out."

"That must be painful," Jose said. His father agreed. "That's right.

That is why I wanted you to stay inside."

Jose went back to his mat. BANG! There was a loud noise. He ran to look

out between the cracks in the metal

louvres.

"What happened?" his father asked.

"The whole warehouse blew away."

Jose said.

"That warehouse was 30 years old.

Many typhoons passed during those years.

It was strong enough until now."

Soon the s torm was far away from the

their car. They drove slowly to avoid the broken trees, poles and wires. The

people from public works were clearing

the road.

Jose was very happy when they got

home because there wasn't much damage

to their house. He found his chickens

safely hiding under the floor of

All wind is not the same. Strong wind can be dangerous. It can blow down houses and trees.

When the wind blows in a big circle it is called a typhoon. Typhoons

are formed in the Pacific near the equator. They move northwest towards

the Marianas and the Philippines.

The air at the equator is warm. Cool air comes from two different directions

the tradewinds. The warm air spins

upward . It picks up water . The wind

blows very fast in the circle but the

typhoon moves slowly across the Pacific.

People have time to prepare if they

listen to the storm warnings.

There are Different Kinds of Vegetables

Here on Our Island. Which Parts of the

Plant is Eatable?

There are a lot of plants on our island

that we call vegetables. Some of the plants

which we call vegetables are fruits.

Scientists define fruit as the part of

a plant which has seeds. Tomatoes, egg­

plants, okra, peppers and string beans have

seeds so scientists call them fruits. Most

people call them vegetables . What do you

think?

because my mother promised to buy some

apples for me. I like apples . They are

sweet and crisp.

We stood in front of the fruit section.

I saw the apples which Tun Juan was putting

on the shelf. They were very red.

"Mom! These apples are really red,"

I said.

"Yes, Lisa they are. Maybe they just

arrived from America, 11 she answered.

''Oh! Don't we grow apples on our

island?" I asked my mother.

"Lisa, these fruits are not grown on

Grandfather was very happy to see me. He said,

",Juan, come and I will show you my

farm . I t is near harvest time . "

I followed grandfather . I was sur­

prised to see hi s plants. They were green

and very bushy. I saw green everywhere .

"Grandpa ! What are t hose leaves? Can we eat them?" I asked .

"Yes, that is a taro. We can eat all of that plant. We can eat only the leaves and stems of some vegetables, We can eat the roots of others.

We eat only the leaves and stems of

other plants . See the cabbage, Chinese

Not all plants are good for us. There

are s ome plants that are harmful. There are some plants that we should not touch and

some plants that we should not eat.

Poisonous plants often have white sap. There are many plants on our island that make

our skin red. We may get a rash or itchy

skin from them. Some examples are the Star of Bethlehem and the piga hagon suni. The

white sap of the plumeria can hurt our eyes.

There are some plants on our island that make us sick. We should not eat these

p lants. We may get very sick if we eat oleander or Be-still plant.

Some plants cause problems. The roots of the cottonwood tree can break

cement houses. The tangantangan kills the good plants in our garden.

Can you list o ther plants that are harmful to us?

Why Are They Poisionous

Many plants are pretty. Many plants are also

harmful & poisionous.

There are times when we let them grow around

our house. Without care, they bloom

& bear fruit. But we did not know

that they were harmful to us.

From blindness to skin rash and sometimes accidentally

we are poisoned by them

when we eat.
