The Story of Milton Hershey
by Phil Shapiro
Milton Hershey
1857-1945
1
Almost every kid in this country has at one time or another eaten a
Hershey chocolate bar. Hershey chocolate has become famous around the
world. But did you know that the Hershey chocolate factory is only about
one hundred years old? And did you know that the founder of Hershey
Chocolate, Milton Hershey, had many failures in business before he
started his famous company?
2
Milton Hershey grew up in the rolling farm country of Pennsylvania.
Before he became interested in making chocolate, Milton Hershey trained
to become a printer. He worked for a small newspaper at first, and then
decided that printing was not the right profession for him.
3
Then he got a job at a candy factory in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, a few
miles from his home. After working a few years at the candy factory, he
decided to open his own little candy business near Philadelphia. His first
business had to close down because it was not making money. After
closing down his first business, he traveled to Denver, Colorado, to learn
how to make caramels.

4
He took his new skills back to New York and worked selling candies
on the street. But this second business also failed.
5
Finally, Milton Hershey moved back to the farm hills where he grew
up. He then experimented with all sorts of different candies and
chocolates. The area where he lived had lots and lots of dairy farms, so
he had a large and easy supply of fresh milk.
6
And he could get other supplies, such as sugar, from nearby
Philadelphia. By 1893 he was selling a million dollars worth of caramel
candy per year. Since his chocolate-dipped and his chocolate-flavored
caramels were the best-selling, he decided to make chocolate himself.
7
By experimenting, Milton Hershey learned how to make delicious
chocolate by using fresh, sweet condensed milk. His milk chocolates were
so popular that he sold his caramel factory and focused his business on
making chocolate only.
8
In 1903, the same year the Wright Brothers flew the first airplane at
Kitty Hawk, Milton Hershey built a huge chocolate factory and an entire
town to go with it. The town of Hershey, Pennsylvania, had a streetcar
line, schools, library, sports arena, community center and a special school
for needy children.
9
Today, the town of Hershey is still the home of the factory that Milton
Hershey built. And if you ever visit, you can smell the delicious chocolate
smells just by driving through the town.
10
The factory is not so hard to find. Just travel down to Cocoa Avenue
until you get to East Chocolate Avenue. Turn right at the traffic light and
just follow your nose.
Hershey’s Kisses were first introduced in 1907.

A Bear of a Job
by Peter Winkler
Introduction: In late 2010 the pair of giant pandas’ 10-year loan
arrangement with the National Zoo expired. However, Chinese officials
reached an agreement with the National Zoo to keep the pair of giant
pandas in Washington, D.C. for five additional years, until December 2015.

that were born in
China, the only country
where wild pandas live.
China has lent the pair
to the National Zoo in
Washington, D.C., for

ten years. In exchange,
the zoo will contribute a million dollars each year to help protect wild
places, plants, and animals in China.
3
Two million people have lined up to watch the furry celebrities since
they went public last January. Zoogoers see incredibly cute animals who
play and wrestle. But is that all? Scientists hope that panda fans will
also see the face of an animal that needs our help.

What makes pandas so popular? For starters, they’re rare. Only five
other pandas live in the entire United States—two in Atlanta and three
in San Diego.

Some scientists see deeper reasons for pandas’ popularity. Strange as
it sounds, the black-and-white critters may remind us a little of
ourselves. Like humans, pandas can sit up straight. They have clear
personalities, and they seem to share our boundless curiosity.
6
Pandas also have round heads, fat cheeks, and big eyes—as do
human babies. And, like kids learning to walk, pandas have their
awkward moments. Add lots of fur, and the animals seem cuddly.
Two “Thumbs” Up!
7
There’s another reason why pandas fascinate us—their “thumbs.”
Each front paw has five “fingers” plus a lump of bone that sticks out like
a thumb. Panda “thumbs” don’t move, but they’re very handy. The
animals hold things by bending their “fingers” toward their “thumbs.”
8
Scientists believe that panda “thumbs” are an adjustment to living in
China’s bamboo forests. Pandas use their paws to grasp, break, hold, and
eat pieces of the wild grass.
9
Bamboo Cage
For Mei Xiang and Tian Tian, bamboo is just one tasty item on a menu
that zookeepers provide. They also get special biscuits and treats. But for
pandas who live in the wild, bamboo is

life. Each day, an average adult crunches
25 to 100 pounds of bamboo. Wild
pandas eat almost nothing else.
Because of this limited diet, pandas
must live where they are surrounded
by bamboo. The animals cannot survive
anywhere else.
10
Pandas once lived in much of eastern China. But the country’s human
population grew rapidly. People needed space for farms and towns, so
they cut down huge portions of the bamboo forests. In the past 25 years,
pandas have lost half their habitat.

Protecting Pandas
As their world disappears, Mei Xiang and Tian Tian’s wild relatives
have become endangered. Only 1,000 or so of these beloved bears remain in
the wild. Some scientists wonder how long the animal group can survive.

13
China knows that its pandas are a global treasure. Working with
conservationists, Chinese officials have developed plans for protecting
pandas.
14
The heart of the plan is preserving panda habitat. To create larger
reserves, or safe places, for pandas, the Chinese government sometimes
pays farmers and loggers to move somewhere else.
15
Mei Xiang and Tian Tian are part of the plan, too. These clowns have
two big jobs while they’re in Washington, D.C. First, wildlife experts
hope the dynamic duo will promote interest in saving pandas. And then
everyone hopes they’ll start a family.

Fishing Is for the Birds
by Susan Day
1
2
If you go fishing at a pond, lake, or bay and think you are alone,
think again. You might have a fishing buddy you didn’t invite—the
feathered kind. Some birds fish, too. You probably use various lures and
bait to catch your fish. Fishing birds also use a variety of ways to catch
their fish.
Great Gulp!
Depending on how tall you are, one of the
most common fishing birds might be almost
as tall! The great blue heron is easy to
remember because it is great—almost four
feet tall with gray-blue plumage (feathers).
Great blue herons are called wading birds. A
great blue heron walks slowly in shallow
water and stops when it finds a good fishing
hole. It patiently stands still until a small fish
or frog swims past. It grabs the fish with its
long dagger-like bill and flips it into its
mouth. Then, with a big “Gulp,” the fish is eaten!
Great Blue Heron
Green Football Fisher
Another bird that spends a lot of time near
water is the green-backed heron. This chunky
bird looks sort of like a dark green football when
it crouches in the water fishing. Green-backed
herons are harder to find than great blue herons.
They perch on low twigs or branches of trees and
bushes along the shore. They’re very patient and
stay in the same position for a long time waiting
for a fish to swim by. When it does, they grab it
with their sharp, pointed bills.
Egret Rockers
Sometimes people try all sorts of fancy tricks
Green-backed Heron
to catch fish. Fishing birds have some tricks of
their own. One of the oddest bird fishers is the
snowy egret. It dips its long black bill into the water to catch the fish.
Up and down. Up and down. It looks like a graceful white rocker going
up and down in a weird egret ballet. Other times, it walks quickly in the
shallow water and drags its feet to stir up fish.

5
Egrets have another trick: They put out a wing.
The wing casts a shadow. Fish swim under the
shadow for shade. And guess what? The egret gets
dinner!
6
Can you guess why they’re called snowy egrets?
Because they’re as white as snow!
7
Bill Like a Spoon
Do you know which wading bird has a bill
shaped like a spoon and is rosy-colored? A roseate
spoonbill! This bird “feels” for food in shallow
water, moving its bill back and forth looking for
fish. When it senses a fish, it snaps its bill shut.
Roseate Spoonbill
Belted Kingfisher
Snowy Egrets
Dive Bombs and Belly Flops
Other birds catch fish using the dive-bomber
technique. Bald eagles and osprey circle high above
the water using their eyes to spot fish. Osprey are
sometimes called fish hawks because their entire
diet is fish. They dive straight down, feet first, and
snare the fish with the sharp talons on their feet.
Bald eagles glide over the water; in a graceful,
downward swoop, they grasp the fish with their feet.
Both bald eagles and
osprey carry their meal to
a tree or land before they
eat it.
Kingfishers, brown
pelicans, and gulls also
fish from the air. But
they swoop down and
catch fish in their
Osprey
mouths instead of with
their feet. The bird that even has fish in its
name—the kingfisher—eats only fish. Kingfishers
hover over the water flapping their wings. Then
they dive headfirst to snatch a fish. When a brown
pelican dives, it makes a giant splash that sounds
just like a belly flop when it lands on the water.
Then it scoops the fish into its big pouch and
swallows. American white pelicans don’t dive, but
swim together in groups and skim fish with their
huge bills.

More Fishing Swimmers
Have you ever seen a bird swim? Loons,
grebes, and puffins are excellent swimmers.
First they float on the surface. Then they dive
and swim underwater to catch their fish. They
can stay down for almost a minute while they
follow the fish. Then their heads pop up above
the water. They don’t even need diving
equipment!
Common Puffin
11
The anhinga and cormorant are two other examples of fishing birds.
They dive, and then swim with their heads barely below the surface. Like
herons, they catch their fish with their bills—only anhingas and
cormorants do their fishing from under the water. Then they perch on low
branches with their wings spread out to dry before they can fly again.
12
Don’t get discouraged if you go fishing and fail to catch lots of fish.
Birds don’t always have great fishing luck either. They just keep trying
until they’re full. Sometimes you may not catch fish, but you just might
catch a look at a bird catching a fish! And that may be just as much fun.
