1.  Are you ready for mystery?

2.  Listen to this story.   It is a story about the UNIVERSE, the EARTH, and you and me.

3.  Suddenly, out of the dark, came a great big, hot light and a BIG BANG!!   This was the beginning of the Universe.

4.  10 billion years later, our big Grandmother Star exploded and became the sun!

5.  Then, a big family of planets was created of the explosion.   We call this family our SOLAR SYSTEM.

6.  Now the story of our earth begins.   Earth is one of the planets in our solar system.

7. 395 million years ago, there were fish on the earth.   Some of the fish came out of the water and changed into frogs and toads.

8. Then came the reptiles.   Some of the reptiles changed into big dinosaurs!

9.   150 million years ago, some dinosaurs turned into really big birds!

10. The earth was covered with many beautiful flowers.   Insects carried pollen from one flower to the next.   So many flowers!

11. Over the next 60 million years, lots of animals began to appear.   There were: cats and dogs, pigs and cows, gorillas and lions and many others.

12. After that, the first humans appeared on earth.   They left the forest, stood up, and walked on two legs!   They walked all over the 7 continents to find places to live.

13.   We hope you enjoyed our story about the universe, the earth, and you and me!!!
