objects.
Before you leave, don’t forget to visit the

Down to Earth
The village of Matmata is on the slope of a hill in
South Tunisia. Matmata is a very unusual place
and a favorite tourist destination. Why? Because of
its underground homes!
In Matmata, the Berber people build their homes
under the ground. This is a one-thousand year old

tradition. Today, there are more than 100
underground houses and there is even an
underground hotel!
The climate in Tunisia is very hot, so living under
the ground is a very good idea! The temperature is
always the same. At night, when the desert is very
cold, it is comfortably warm in a cave and during
the day when the sun shines down, the caves are
cool. The houses are 16 to 32 feet deep and they
have many small rooms used for sleeping, keeping
food, and getting together. You can go from one
room to another through small tunnels.
Life is simple here. The women stay at home and
do household chores, while the men work on the
land. A lot of people can show you around their
houses. Do some of the Matmata houses seem
familiar to you? Maybe they do because they appear
in the movie Star Wars!

A "Good idea," said the cranes. "But, for the plan to
succeed, you will have to keep your mouth closed tightly on
the stick and you must not say a word!" The turtle agreed and
off he was carried.

C The animals of the jungle made a bargain with a lion.
One
animal each day would willingly go to the lion's den to be his
supper and, in turn, the lion would never hunt again. The first
to go to the lion's den was a shy rabbit, who went slowly.

D When the birds were high
in the air with the turtle dangling
down from the stick, some people
on the ground looked up at
the strange sight in the sky and said

, "What clever birds! They
figured out how to carry a turtle!"
The proud, talkative turtle
cried out, "It was my idea!" and fell
tumbling down to earth.
E A talkative turtle overheard two hunters say that they were
planning to catch turtles the very next day. When the hunters
left, the turtle asked two cranes to help him escape. "Beautiful
white birds," he said, "if you hold a long stick between your
beaks, I'll close my mouth tightly in the middle of it, and then
you can fly up and carry me to safety."

F "I alone am king of this jung
le," he roared again. His echo
answered him, "I alone am king of
this jungle." With that, the
lion became so angry, he jumped
into the deep well with a
great splash! The lion attacked his
own reflection and was
never heard from again.
