### Stone Age Gum

 

Recently, a scientist found some interesting chewing gum.

It is about 5,700 years old!

It is from the Stone Age.

The old gum came from a small island Denmark.

It was made with tree tar.

The gum had DNA.

So, the scientist found out many things.

For example, a girl chewed this gum.

She had blue eyes and brown hair.

Also, she ate ducks and hazelnuts.

"The gum can tell us many things about ancient people," the scientist said.

### Lego Orchestra

 

What do you make with Lego bricks?

Last year, an inventor made a special thing with them.

It's a Lego orchestra.

The inventor used thousands of Lego bricks.

He worked for about 3,100 hours.

He also used computers and musical instruments.

The computers control the Lego orchestra.

Then, the Lego orchestra plays musical instruments.

For example, some bricks play the violins.

Others play the xylophones.

"This is so amazing," one boy said.

### Cooking Hotteok

 

Today, I made my favorite winter snack with my mom.

It's hotteok!

First, I put flour and yeast in a bowl.

I poured warm water and mixed them.

Then, I prepared some fillings.

I mixed brown sugar and sunflower seeds together.

Next, I made the dough round.

I added fillings in the dough.

My mom helped me to toast it.

Finally, the hotteok was ready to eat!

It was very hot.

But it was also delicious.
