Part A
It’s April. Across the Rocky Mountains, billions of tons of water have been locked up all winter as snow and ice. But today, for the first time this year, the sun is in the sky for more than 12 hours. At last, spring has arrived. The mountains are waking up; the tap is being turned on. [3,000/three thousand] waterfalls appear across the Rockies. Hundreds of billions of gallons are released from the mountains. A thousand frozen lakes are unlocked and quickly filled. Millions of acres of land finally receive water. The spring grass grows tall and sweet. There is now food and water for all. The good times are here.

Good Company and Bad Company
One day, while the parents were away searching for food, two young parrots were taken from their nest by a cruel hunter.
One of the birds managed to escape and eventually found his way to the home of a kindly old farmer, who spoke to him with kindness and love. The hunter put the other parrot in a cage in his hut where he was badly treated and screamed at every day.
About a year later, a traveler was resting outside the hunter’s hut. Sensing someone outside, the parrot screamed, “Fool! Why are you here? Leave or I’ll kill you!” Scared, the traveler went away. Later, he reached the house where the other parrot lived. “Welcome, traveler,” said the bird gently. “Please sit in the yard and take a rest.” Surprised and relieved, the traveler told the parrot about his earlier experience. “How is it that you are so kind?” asked the man. The parrot replied, “That must be my poor brother. I was lucky enough to live with a kind man while my brother was raised in a cruel home. I learned the language of love and my brother learned the language of hate. How we are treated decides who we will be.”
