question: Leah Catches a Fish

Leah loved to eat fish as a young girl. She saw fish as good food. But she asked, "Where do fish come from?" "People have to catch them," Daddy said." Leah wanted to know how to catch a fish.

"People have caught fish from a pole, line, and hook for a long time," Daddy said." "I am about to show you how to that."

"Let's take a lunch with us," Daddy said. Leah chose some fries with ketchup and a bean sandwich. Leah also like sweets. She brought some candy bears. Leah has strange tastes.

Daddy drove to a nearby lake. It was early. Leah was yawning in daddy's car.

The people at the lake had special times for young people learning to fish. They talked with Leah about them. Leah was excited.

Daddy took Leah to a small spot on the lake. Daddy showed Leah how to put a worm on the hook as something to get the fish. Daddy said other like things like grasshoppers, corn, or tiny fish could also get the fish.

Leah lifted her pole and dropped her line in the water. The small red and white float was there on the water. It was easy to see that from the blue water and sunny sky.

Leah said, "Daddy I'm bored."

Daddy told her that sometimes you need to wait.

After a short wait, the float went under!

"Leah, you have a fish!" Daddy yelled.

Leah lifted up her line and took the small fish out of the water.

"Daddy, I can catch fish", she happily said.

question: The German states proclaimed their union as the German Empire under the Prussian king, Wilhelm I, uniting Germany as a nation-state. The Treaty of Frankfurt of 10 May 1871 gave Germany most of Alsace and some parts of Lorraine, which became the Imperial territory of Alsace-Lorraine (Reichsland Elsa-Lothringen).The German conquest of France and the unification of Germany upset the European balance of power, that had existed since the Congress of Vienna in 1815 and Otto von Bismarck maintained great authority in international affairs for two decades. French determination to regain Alsace-Lorraine and fear of another Franco-German war, along with British apprehension about the balance of power, became factors in the causes of World War I.

The Ems telegram had exactly the effect on French public opinion that Bismarck had intended. "This text produced the effect of a red flag on the Gallic bull", Bismarck later wrote. Gramont, the French foreign minister, declared that he felt "he had just received a slap". The leader of the monarchists in Parliament, Adolphe Thiers, spoke for moderation, arguing that France had won the diplomatic battle and there was no reason for war, but he was drowned out by cries that he was a traitor and a Prussian. Napoleon's new prime minister, Emile Ollivier, declared that France had done all that it could humanly and honorably do to prevent the war, and that he accepted the responsibility "with a light heart." A crowd of 1520,000 people, carrying flags and patriotic banners, marched through the streets of Paris, demanding war. On 19 July 1870 a declaration of war was sent to the Prussian government. The southern German states immediately sided with Prussia.
