This is the twins: Tweedledee and Tweedledum.

They are small and fat. They don't have hair. They have brown eyes. They have a big nose. They don't have a big mouth or big ears. They have a round face. They have pale skin.

Hello dear. I have white skin. I have big ears. I have brown eyes and a small nose. I am very anxious and shy. Who am I?

Hello. I am mean and selfish. I have a big head but a small red mouth. I have small black eyes. Who am I?

Hi. I have white skin. I wear a hat. I have curly orange hair. I have orange eyebrows. I am crazy and brave. Who am I?

THE KAPPA
The Kappa is a Japanese water demon that lives in ponds and rivers. It looks like a monkey with fish scales.
It feeds on human blood, but it will not attack you if you throw a cucumber at him with your name on it!

THE MANTICORE
The Manticore is a very dangerous and rare beast from Greece. It has the head of a man, the body of a lion and the tail of a scorpion. It devours its preys, and its sting causes instant death.

THE OCCAMY
The Occamy lives in the Far East and India. It is a plumed, two-legged creature with wings and a serpentine body. It feeds on rats, birds, and it kidnaps monkeys! It is aggressive when it defends its eggs.

A British mathematician decided to discover the world’s favourite number!
Alex Bellos put a questionnaire on the Intenet and more than 40,000 people responded. Alex wasn’t surprised. He thinks people have an emotional connection to numbers. ‘People always ask me my favourite number’, he says. More than half of people voted for a number between one and ten. Those are perhaps the most ‘human’ numbers since we have ten fingers and ten toes?
And the winner is …
But one number was much more popular than the others: seven. It’s a number that is important in many cultures. There are seven days in a week. We say there are seven seas. Snow White has seven dwarves… It’s also a prime number (that can only be divided by one and itself).
What is your favourite number? We asked some teenagers for theirs:
David: 8 - because it’s my birthday, and it rhymes with a lot of things. And it is one digit and an even number. Or pi (Π). Pi is an interesting number. It’s infinite.
Max: 8 - because it’s a nice and round shape.
Cléa: 4 - maybe because when you find a four-leafed clover it’s lucky.
Eloise: 16 - because when I was little I always wanted to be 16. I don’t want to anymore, but it’s still my favourite number.
Silvia: 3 - because it’s in the Fibonacci sequence and it’s a triangular number. The Fibonacci sequence starts with one, then you keep adding the previous number. So it goes 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13…
Clément: 0 - because it’s interesting.
Amélie: 27 - lots of stars died at the age of 27 – it’s a mythical age.
Maëlle: 7 – because everything cool that happens to me happens on the seventh.
