D.M. C. I. BREEZES 33 because you can breathe. Almost anybody can do it. Ask your teacher, if he can breathe; then ask him how long he can hold his breath without cheating. When you’re swimming in the ocean, and you dive under water, you don’t dare take a breath. This is because the salt water makes you thirsty, and it would be terrible to be thirsty under the water. Just imagine how thirsty you would get if you had hay fever under the water. Air is found in lots of places ' , such as toy balloons, teachers, council members, and answers on examination papers. When you take a deep breath of sweet, pure, grade A air, your patent bellows use up the oxygen, and when they expel carbon dioxide, even your best friend won’t speak to you. Get your teacher to tell you how hot “examination air” is. It is fortunate for us that we don’t have to be reminded to take a breath. Forgetful people and absent-minded professors would soon suffocate. To prevent this, many “free air” stations are to be found in the city. Ask your teacher to show you an experiment in suffocating. Questions: (1) Are you self-conscious when you breathe? (2) What would happen if we breathed out other compounds of carbon such as carbon paper? (3) Try snoring at night, in church, under water.
