Problem: CHAPTER III

They had dinner in the open-air, tree-walled dining-room, and Saxon noted that it was Billy who paid the reckoning for the four. They knew many of the young men and women at the other tables, and greetings and fun flew back and forth. Bert was very possessive with Mary, almost roughly so, resting his hand on hers, catching and holding it, and, once, forcibly slipping off her two rings and refusing to return them for a long while. At times, when he put his arm around her waist, Mary promptly disengaged it; and at other times, with elaborate obliviousness that deceived no one, she allowed it to remain.

And Saxon, talking little but studying Billy Roberts very intently, was satisfied that there would be an utter difference in the way he would do such things... if ever he would do them. Anyway, he'd never paw a girl as Bert and lots of the other fellows did. She measured the breadth of Billy's heavy shoulders.

"Why do they call you 'Big' Bill?" she asked. "You're not so very tall."

"Nope," he agreed. "I'm only five feet eight an' three-quarters. I guess it must be my weight."

"He fights at a hundred an' eighty," Bert interjected.

"Oh, out it," Billy said quickly, a cloud-rift of displeasure showing in his eyes. "I ain't a fighter. I ain't fought in six months. I've quit it. It don't pay."

"Yon got two hundred the night you put the Frisco Slasher to the bad," Bert urged proudly.

Problem: A little girl named Natalie went to the zoo with her father and her two brothers. Her father's name was Jared. Her brothers' names were Logan and Tim. They drove to the zoo in their car. Before they arrived at the zoo, they stopped at a McDonald's and ate breakfast. Natalie ate a biscuit. Her brothers ate sausage and eggs. Her father drank coffee.

All three children loved the zoo. Natalie's favorite animal was the gorilla. She loved to watch him jump up and down. She also liked it when he would pound on his chest and roar. It was very exciting. Logan's favorite animal was the giraffe. He thought that it looked funny. He also liked its spots. Tim's favorite animal was the crocodile because it looked tough.

Natalie, Logan, and Tim were not happy with the elephant. He was their least favorite animal. All he did was sleep in his cage.

Natalie shouted, "Hey, Mr. Elephant, we want to see you up close!" The elephant did not wake up. She yelled a few more times, but the elephant kept sleeping. She gave up and went to the next animal.

The last animals that they saw were the penguins. Natalie and her brothers thought that they were so cute. Natalie asked to take one home, but her father said no.

Problem: The National Broadcasting Company (NBC) is an American English language commercial broadcast television network that is a flagship property of NBCUniversal, a subsidiary of Comcast. The network is headquartered at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City, with additional major offices near Los Angeles (at 10 Universal City Plaza), and Chicago (at the NBC Tower). The network is part of the Big Three television networks. NBC is sometimes referred to as the "Peacock Network", in reference to its stylized peacock logo, introduced in 1956 to promote the company's innovations in early color broadcasting. It became the network's official emblem in 1979.

Founded in 1926 by the Radio Corporation of America (RCA), NBC is the oldest major broadcast network in the United States. In 1986, control of NBC passed to General Electric (GE) which previously owned RCA and NBC until 1930, when it was forced to sell the companies as a result of antitrust charges through its $6.4 billion purchase of RCA. Following the acquisition by GE (which later liquidated RCA), Bob Wright served as chief executive officer of NBC, remaining in that position until his retirement in 2007, when he was succeeded by Jeff Zucker. In 2003, French media company Vivendi merged its entertainment assets with GE, forming NBCUniversal. Comcast purchased a controlling interest in the company in 2011, and acquired General Electric's remaining stake in 2013. Following the Comcast merger, Zucker left NBCUniversal and was replaced as CEO by Comcast executive Steve Burke.
