## Story

January eagerly wiggled in her seat next to Rocky. She was excited because this was her first ever camping trip! She has heard the story of Skye and Rocky’s Pup Scout trip, and knew to be extra careful. Appalachia had promised to teach her all the camps connected to camp, so she knew she wasn’t going to get lost.

They had to go in a special trail bus since the PAW Patrol was to big for the narrow trail. It was a bit if a small bus, but it was a fun ride. She sat with Appalachia and Skye and Spark were in the seat next to their’s, with Chase and Marshall sitting in front of them. Appalachia carefully explained that some trails lead to drop offs or rickety cliffs, and to never go there without caution.

January took in the landscape. Beautiful trees and bright patches of flowers and grass weaving alongside the rode. January slipped open the window and breathed in the fresh, cool air. “You have to respect nature, because without it we wouldn’t live...” she could make out Rocky explaining to Rubble in the seat behind her. She picked up a nature guide tucked carefully in a pack and opened it up with interest. Her eyes skidded through the pages and landed on the Fun Facts section. It read:

**Fact 1:**

Photosynthesis is the process which green plants and some other organisms synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water.

**Fact 2:**

Trees create oxygen through photosynthesis by creating sugars (and more complex compounds made from sugars) using sunlight, air, and water, thus creating oxygen.

**Fact 3:**

Trees keep our air supply clean, help prevent noise pollution, improve water quality, help prevent erosion, provide food and building materials and create shapes.

January was held short by the bus coming to a jerky stop. She slipped the guide into her bag and hurried out if the bus. She blinked her eyes against the sunlight and followed everyone else to the cabin. She stowed her bag in a drawer, and sat on the bottom of a bunk. Appalachia climbs to the top and called down to January. “What were ya reading on the bus January?” January turned her head up. “Just a nature guide. Surprisingly interesting. Might read it again later.” She replied. She packed all her important stuff away and joined the others outside.

She could see it was already getting dark, and that everyone had already started a campfire. They ate marshmallows and told scary stories, then were sent off to bed. But January was restless, and needed something to do. She pulled a flashlight out if her pillow and grabbed the nature guide. She saw a section on the Water Cycle and read:

The water cycle process by which circulates between the Earth’s oceans, atmosphere, and land, involving precipitation as rain and snow, drainage in streams and rivers, and return to the atmosphere by evaporation and transpiration.

January was now tired. She slipped the guide under her pillow, clicked off the flashlight, and listened to the soft noise of the outdoors as she fell asleep. January was awoken by the smell of bacon-flavored kibble. She pulled herself up eagerly and saw Chase and Rubble were already eating. The other pups were rousing, but much more slowly. She closed the gap between Chase and Rubble and started wolfing down her breakfast.

Spark saw something peeking out of January’s pillow and pulled it out. She saw it was a nature guide. Curiosity got the best of her and she opened it up. There was a Fun Facts section. She read:

**Fact 1:**

An average tree can provide enough wood to create 170,100 pencils.

**Fact 2:**

85% of plant life is found in the ocean.

**Fact 3:**

Bananas contain a natural chemical that can make people feel happy.

**Fact 4:**

The tears during cutting an onion are caused by sulfuric acid present in them.

**Fact 5:**

The evaporation from a large oak or beech tree is from ten to twenty-five gallons in twenty-four hours.

**Fact 6:**

Small pockets of air in cranberries cause them to bounce and float in water.

**Fact 7:**

A sunflower looks like one large flower, but each head is composed of hundred tiny flowers called florets, which ripen to become seeds.

Spark heard Marshall call her over to breakfast so she lightly placed the booklet in January’s pillow, scurried over next to Marshall, murmured a quiet greeting, and started eating.
