The Wheel
Getting about in cars, trains, or planes is a very modern method of transport. It has taken us a very long time to invent these forms of convenient transport.
Other than using our legs or riding animals such as elephants, camels, donkeys or horses, hundreds of years ago that was the only way to get from one place to another until the wheel was invented.
Wheels today are on all sorts of vehicles from planes to cars, from bikes to skateboards. We believe that the first wheels invented were to help move objects that were very heavy. Humans discovered that something heavy was more easily moved by something round and by rolling it. Eventually wheels were developed for carts and wagons.
The wheel is probably the most mechanical invention of all time. Wheels with spokes are thought to have first appeared in Egypt on chariots around 2000 BC.
Just try and imagine the world today without the wheel, not only in transportation but also in technology. Important applications include the water wheel, the cogwheel, and the spinning wheel. More modern applications include the jet engine, the propeller, and the turbine.

Answer:
When we got home we sat on the couch , I reached for the TV remote but mum stopped me. “I need to talk to you guys” her happy mood had somehow been replaced with saddness, “Yeahh??” my sister and I replied at the same time, “ Well girls , aunty Nora rang today” I knew this would be bad news, Aunty Nora never rang unless something had happened, “Well...” my mum started , I could see tears welling up in her eyes, “ Your father “ oh goshh mum hadnt mentioned dad for years, “ Your father has passed away” , I stopped dead, I couldnt believe what I had just heard. My dad , my own father is gone, and I will never see him again .I let go of my mum and ran out of the door I just wanted to keep on running and I never wanted to stop. Even though my mum and him had divorced when I was grade 2 he was still my dad , I still loved him. I went to his funeral, As I walked in the door there was a picture of him , staring right at me. At that point I relised that he was gone , he would never get to see me or my sisters grow up . And that would have to be the worst day of my lfe.
