Read the short paragraph. Then, complete the table:

Dolphins are fascinating mammals that live in the ocean. Mammals are different than fish, reptiles or
birds. As a mammal, dolphins breathe oxygen, even though they live in water. Because they are
mammals, a dolphin mother gives birth to a live baby, unlike reptiles and birds who lay eggs. A
dolphin mother also feeds her baby milk like other mammals. When dolphins jump out of the water, it
shows that it is a beautiful creature.

Money Vs Family
He works for more than 16 hours a day. The kids cannot see him as he will leave home early in the
morning before they wake-up and reach home around midnight when kids would sleep every day.
The entire family eagerly wait to spend quality time with him and the kids miss him so much.
The children were too curious about Sundays as their father would spend the entire day with them.
Unfortunately, to meet the increasing household expenses and educational expenses, Rama took a
weekend job to work even on Sundays. The kids were very shattered and even Rama’s wife and
parents too!
The typical routine continued for several weeks and year passed. All the hard work of Rama earned a
lot of benefits and he was offered promotion with attractive increment.
The family moved to a new house, got better clothes and ate healthy
foods. However, as usual, Rama continues to earn more and more
money. One day his wife asked him ‘why are you running for money?
We can be happy with what we have now.’
Rama replied, ‘I want to give the best available in the world to all of
you and want you to stay happy always.’
Two years passed and Rama hardly spent time with his family. The
children yearned to have their father at home. Meanwhile, the sincere efforts of Rama reaped him a
fortune. He was offered partnership and share in profits. He continued to earn more and more wealth.
Now, Rama’s family is one of the richest families in the city. They have all the facilities and luxuries.
Still, Rama’s children strove to meet their father as he was hardly seen at home.
His children turned teens and they are no more kids. Now, Rama earned enough wealth to provide a
luxurious life to his next five generations.
Rama’s family went to their beach house to spend their vacation. His daughter asked, ‘Dad will you
please spend one day at home and stay with us here?’
Rama replied, ‘Yes darling, tomorrow for sure, I will join you for the lunch and be with you all for next
few days. I’m tired of work and need refreshment!’
The entire family became very happy.
Unfortunately, the next day, none in Rama’s family were alive as they were washed out in tsunami!
Rama was too busy even to hear the news about tsunami. When he tried to reach his beach house,
he saw sea and water everywhere and screamed for his family, He could not even find the dead
bodies of his family.
He can never have them again, cannot even see them and even by paying millions he cannot get
them back to life!
He remembered his wife’s words, ‘Why are you running for money? We can be happy with what we
have now.’
