"Fly, fly, to the south we fly To places warm and cozy Fly, fly, fly in the sky To the … the sunset you’ll see. Is it to the right or left? Little Canary cannot recall. Left? Right?"

"Indigo bunting (Passerina cyanea) or the blue canary, are birds that live in eastern United States and southern Canada. Male birds have bright blue feathers, and the females are brown. In the winter, the males lose their blue plumage and resemble the brown females, although a little bit of blue remains. Every autumn, the birds migrate to Mexico and to southern United States. They navigate with the rotation of the Polaris star of the Ursa Minor constellation (also known as Little Bear). Polaris lies at the end of the bear’s tail and is also known as the North Pole Star. It indicates the direction to the north pole and is always seen in the northern hemisphere. Light pollution from excessive artificial light in urban areas, makes it hard to see stars in the sky at night. This has a negative impact on nature, including obstructing bird migration. It is also evidence of electric energy waste."

"How much will the food cost? Reta does the math on her fingers. Wow, the number matches the one shown in the calculator. "My teacher taught me how to add things quickly," Reta tells Sarah."
The Great Teacher
"How can Sarah meet Reta’s teacher? “Be patient,” Reta says in English. Her teacher must have taught her that, too!"
The Great Teacher
"Yay! Sarah gets to go with Reta to study in her teacher’s house. No registration and no cost. That is easy! But what is that broom for?"
The Great Teacher
"Reta's teacher is inspired by a woman named Een Sukaesih, often known as Bu Een. Bu Een graduated from the Indonesian University of Education in Bandung. She suffered from a disease called Rheumatoid Arthritis, which made her immobile for 27 years. Being persistent, Bu Een kept teaching while laying down, from 8 am to 8 pm. She taught English, history, computers, and math. Any child who wanted to learn was welcomed. Her students loved her so much so they all helped her with chores after their learning was done for the day."
