In 1725, a French ship, Le Chameau, struck a rock in a stormy sea. A big hole cuted in the bottom of the ship and it went down off the shore of Nova Scotia. On board the ship there were 300,000 gold and silver coins. For many years they lied at the bottom of the deep sea. One summer Alex Storm and Dave MacEachern began to dive the freezing waters off Nova Scotia. They had to fight big waves and strong currents. Big sharks saw swimming around them. When the two friends got out of the water, they were blue with cold and shaked. On September 22, Alex and Dave were ready to dive again. They didn’t expect anything to find this time. They were down so many times before. “Perhaps we ought to give up,” Alex said. They dived again and suddenly they could not believe their eyes. “Look! We are swimming over thousands of coins. They pile row on row,” Dave said. The excited men to pick the coins up in their hands and went to the top.
Cobras are among the best-known snakes. It's a reptile. It is very dangerous, because it has poison in the teeth. They say, a large king cobra has enough poison in one bite to kill 20 human beings or an elephant. The Cobra is famous for its hood, which is formed when a snake gets angry and is ready to attack. Cobras can be found mainly in Africa and Asia. They typically live in hot, tropical areas.They like to spend time underground, under rocks and in trees. They come in different colours: yellow, brown and black. Cobras eatmice, rats, rabbits, lizards, snakes, eggs and birds, but they can easely live without eating for days or months. Like other snakes, cobras do not hear, they are death, but they cansense the ground vibrations. Cobras lay eggs. They build nests for their eggs and guard them very carefully until babies are born. It's interesting to know that cobras smell their prey using their tongue.
