Tales from childhood: Interesting treasure.

 During weekend Sophie decided to explore a corner in the yard of a village house. There was a lot of land in this place.

She dug deep and suddenly noticed a very large stone. Little Sophie continued to dig the land, while the stone became larger and larger.

Then this stone began to narrow. She continued to dig.

“What’s this?” Sophie asked her grandmother.

“Those are dinosaur bones!” the grandmother said.

Everyone was happy that Sophie had found dinosaur bones.

Paleontology.

Paleontology (παλαιοντολογία) is the study about life on the Earth, which existed before Holocene epoch. This word came from the Greek language παλαιός, palaios  "old", ὄν, on "creature", and λόγος, logos "study".

Science about ancient creatures has similar features with other studies. Biology, geology, and archaeology are related sciences to paleontology. 

Paleontologists are studying the history of life on our planet. Ancient fossils can tell a lot about animals and their lives.

Also, scientists study climate of that periods. Billions and millions years ago the weather was different. Ice age changed life of animals.

Paleontology helps to understand the life of dinosaurs. They lived on the Earth many years ago. Then the dinosaurs died.

This science explains evolution. Different animals have different ancestors. They could be of other size and live in other places.

Plants at that time were different, too.

Science about ancient animals studies in colleges and universities.

The Lost World by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

(This is essay  by my brother).

Edward Malone, a reporter for Daily Gazette, wanted to impress a woman named Gladys Hugerton by doing something extraordinary. He came to his editor McAedle to ask for some "special" assignment. McArdle tasked Malone with interviewing professor George Challenger, who was famous for hating journalists and being close to a "mad scientist". That interview ended in a fight after which, however, Challenger told his story. He said that he visited a place in South America no one has been in, and that he saw dinosaurs there. That's why no one believed him and he had such a bad reputation. Challenger also planned another expedition there to show that he told the truth. On this expedition, he took: a skeptical professor Summerlee; Lord John Roxton, a famous adventure; and Malone.

During this expedition, these men, while, not believing at first, started being more open-minded after a pterodactyl stole their lunch. Later on, they saw many more dinosaurs, as well as strange and aggressive ape-men. In order to defeat them, the expedition joined forces with the native tribe they met there calling themselves "the Accala". With the help of the Accala, the expedition managed to be victorious.

And so, after a long expedition, the men returned home. And still nobody believed, although they had to take their words back when the expedition showed the peope a live pterodactyl.

Malone, now famous, returned to Gladys, only to find out that she married another man. Now nothing kept him home, so Malone joined Lord Roxton's next voyage to "the Lost World".
