Rabbit and Hare : What's the difference ??

We all have listened to the story of rabbit and tortoise.

Both of them challenged each other to take part in a running race competition.

Whoever reaches the final stop, he would be the winner.

Rabbit ran as fast as it could  but couldn't make to final stop and tortoise won the race  !!!

Why coconuts are water proof ??

  Coconuts are water proof because they have 3 natural layers that block water .

1.  Hairy husk

                        Spongy  +   full of hair 

                         Water can't soak through fast and it helps the coconut to float.

2.  Hard shell

                      Like a sealed wooden box. No holes for water to get in.

3. Tight skin inside 

                       Pressed against white meat. Keeps the coconut water sealed in.

Nature has made coconut water proof.  So that coconut can float in ocean for months  !!!

It can grow into new tree on another beach.

Nature made coconut floating,  sealed water bottle  !!!!
