A twelve-year-old boy was the one who first discovered

dinosaur footprints in America in 1802. The boy, named Pliny
Moody, was sowing a kind of wheat on his family farm in western
Massachusetts when he saw something very strange. He saw a flat
piece of stone with huge footprints on it.

Pliny told his family and friends that he had discovered

something unusual. However, no one at that time knew that they
were dinosaur footprints. This was some time before the word
dinosaur was created. Today, we know that the footprints, that
Pliny discovered and reported, belong to dinosaurs that lived in the
area millions of years earlier.

The Tournament of Roses today is quite famous for the parade and
football game that take place every year on January 1st. A parade of flower-
covered floats moves through the streets of Pasadena, California in the
morning of the New Year every year. Then in the afternoon, you can see a
football game between a university team from the western states and a rival
team from farther east.

In its early days, the Tournament of Roses was quite different from
today’s tournament. It had its beginnings in 1890 when people celebrated in
Pasadena with donkey races and a parade of carriages covered with flowers.

A football game was not part of the Tournament of Roses until 1902. In
that year, the west coast team lost the game badly. Because of the loss,
nobody wanted to play another football game as part of the Tournament of
Roses for other 14 years.
