the beauty of the land. (2) Some of us don't
even care about how does the sun rise each morning or why do the birds sing
at dawn. (3) Some
people don't ask themselves how the roses get to be so beautiful in the morning
or how our food grows
from the ground. (4) And what about the stars in the sky?
(5) When you lie down on your back on a
