Solution
First Home: Their first home was a tent, which they built by softening the floor with armloads of grass. They cut the grass and spread it to serve as their beds.
Second Home: Their second home was a treehouse, which they built using long and extended branches as platforms. They also created a ladder out of bamboo.
Third Home: Their third home was a cave house, which they created by making an opening in the smooth face of the rock. They cut windows in the rock for ventilation and sunlight.
Fourth Home: Since one of the huts they had made was destroyed by an elephant herd, they decided to build a stronger house using four strong trees as a base, rather than building a house on stilts, which the elephants could knock down easily. The four trees were of equal size, approximately twelve feet apart. This was a much safer home for them.

Vitamins are either fat-soluble (A, D, E, K) or water-soluble (B vitamins, including niacin, folic acid and riboflavin, and vitamin C). They consist mainly of the elements nitrogen, oxygen, carbon and hydrogen. Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in bod)' fat, while water-soluble vita1nins are used or quickly excreted in the urine.
Vitamin A is essential for the eyes, skin, hair, and bones; the B vitamins help enzymes to function; C is essential for the formation of collagen; D helps the body absorb calcium; E prevents cell damage, and K helps blood clotting. Most vitamins cannot be produced by the body and so must be obtained directly from food.

Certainly anyone who insists on condemning all lies should think about what would happen if we could reliably tell when our family, friends, colleagues, and government leaders were deceiving us. It is tempting to think that the world would become a better place without the deceptions that seem to interfere with our attempts are genuine communication. On the other hand, perhaps there is such a thing as too much honesty. - Adapted from Allison Kornet, "The Truth About Lying"
