Yellow cobra vs. mongoose







A mongoose was out hunting, and  yellow cobra was looking for a fight. It saw the fluffy mongoose, and prepared to strike. The mongoose saw the cobra at the last moment, and leaped into the air, the cobras fangs just missing. When the mongoose fell, and latched its teeth onto the cobras head. The mammals grip wasn't firm, and the snake was able to deliver a clean blow to the chest. The mongoose weakened for a moment, regained his footing, and came back strong. Because the mongoose is immune to the venom, he was still strong, and crushed the cobras head. Snake will be for dinner tonight.
 
 
 
 
  

Gem hunting


Gems are found all over the world from the diamond mines in Africa, to the gold mines in South America. The most common gem is quartz, while rubies, diamonds, and gold are rare. The easiest way to find gems is from river gravel. Most gems like gold, emerald, rubies, calcite, moonstone, and amethyst are found in river gravel, which is sometimes taken to places where you can mine gems yourself. To sift for gems, you need a sifter, scrubber brush, a river, and a lot of luck. All you need to do is go to a place in the river where storms push a lot of gravel into, put two scoops of dirt in it, put it in water, and scrub the brush around and around for about 30 seconds, and take it out of water and look. Gems can easily be mistaken for worthless pebbles, so look closely. Here's a tip on how to identify if you have gems or not. All gems have six sides, so you can hardly miss them, unless your eyes don't work well. If you have a stream or river in your back yard, get a sifter. Precious gems are around there somewhere.
