Q: CHAPTER V

OFF FOR WOODCRAFT

Edward Muldoon, otherwise Sparrer, surreptitiously pinched himself to make sure that he was not dreaming. He, newsboy from the lower East Side of New York, who had never been farther from it than Coney Island, riding in a brilliantly lighted Pullman coach on his way into the great woods of which he had dreamed so much since he became a Scout, and of which he had only the vaguest idea! It couldn't be.

And yet it was. The roar of the wheels told him that it was. The very feel of the luxurious seat in which he was sitting told him that it was. And to clinch the fact and at the same time make it harder to believe there were his three companions, Upton, his patrol leader, Harrison and Pat Malone, whom he had secretly made his hero. Yes, it was all true, and yet he couldn't get rid of the idea that sooner or later he would wake up and find it all a beautiful dream.

The fact is, this trip was in the nature of a Christmas present. From their first meeting Pat had taken a great fancy to the street gamin. He recognized a kindred spirit. Instinctively he realized that the difference between Sparrer and himself at the same age was mainly one of environment. The youngster's sturdy independence and self-reliance, his quick wit, even his impudence, struck responsive chords in the young woodsman. Sparrer was what he himself would have been had his nursery been a New York East Side tenement instead of the log cabin of a mill settlement in the lumber district of the North Woods.

Q: Once upon a time there was a little elf named Boo. Boo longed for a goldfish more than anything in the world, so he begged and begged his parents for one. Finally, his parents told him that he could have a goldfish if he found it himself. With that, Boo set out to look for a goldfish. First he looked under his pillow. No goldfish there. Then he looked in the fridge. No goldfish their either. Frustrated, he went to his friend Miles. Miles was an alligator. Boo asked Miles, "Miles, where could I find a goldfish?"

Miles thought long and hard. Then he thought some more. He thought even more after that. At long last, Miles spoke. "I have an idea," he said, "but you must do a few things for me first. First you must clap for me."

Boo clapped many times. "Now," spoke Miles, "You must chirp like a young bird." Boo chirped happily.

"Last," said Miles, "You must fold my laundry. It is behind the wood pile." Boo quickly set to work folding the laundry. When he was all done he returned to Miles.

"Miles," he asked, "Where can I find a goldfish?"

Miles smiled as he spoke, "Fish swim, yes? Look in a place with water."

Boo quickly returned home and began his hunt. First he looked in his drink cup. No goldfish there. Then he looked in the toilet. What he saw in the toilet surprised him. There was a goldfish swimming in the toilet! As it turned out, it was a very special goldfish. The fish was a funny color. It wasn't red. It wasn't orange. It wasn't green. It was blue! Boo named his goldfish Apple Cracker and they quickly became friends.

Q: Munich is the capital and the most populated city in the German state of Bavaria, on the banks of River Isar north of the Bavarian Alps. Munich is also the third largest city in Germany, after Berlin and Hamburg, and the 12th biggest city of the European Union, with a population of around 1.5million. The Munich Metropolitan Region is home to 6 million people.

The city is a major centre of art, advanced technologies, finance, publishing, culture, innovation, education, business, and tourism in Germany and Europe and enjoys a very high standard and quality of living, reaching first in Germany and fourth worldwide according to the 2015 Mercer survey. According to the Globalization and World Rankings Research Institute Munich is considered an alpha-world city, .

The name of the city is derived from the Old/Middle High German term "Munichen", meaning "by the monks", which in turn is derived from Monch (which in the end derives from ancient Greek ). It derives from the monks of the Benedictine order, who ran a monastery at the place that was later to become the Old Town of Munich; hence the monk depicted on the city's coat of arms. Munich was first mentioned in 1158. From 1255 the city was seat of the Bavarian Dukes. Black and gold the colours of the Holy Roman Empire have been the city's official colours since the time of Ludwig the Bavarian, when it was an imperial residence. Following a final reunification of the Wittelsbachian Duchy of Bavaria, previously divided and sub-divided for more than 200 years, the town became the country's sole capital in 1506.
