The King’s Riddle 1 There was a kingdom long, long ago. It was ruled by a king who loved riddles. Once every year the king made a new riddle. He gave a prize to the person who could solve the riddle. 2 There was a baker who also lived in this kingdom. Everyone agreed that he baked the finest breads. The baker had almost everything he needed except for a horse. If the baker had a horse, he could sell his fine breads from one end of the kingdom to the other. 3 One year the king made a new riddle that puzzled everyone. “I will give a prize to the person who can solve my riddle,” the king said. “Whoever wins will have the pick of one of my strongest horses.” 4 He then drew a line down the middle of the courtyard. “Make this line shorter without erasing any part of it,” the king challenged. 5 People came from far and wide. They looked at the line and squinted at it. They even put their noses to the ground and scratched their heads. 6 “How can you make a line shorter without erasing any part of it?” the people in the crowd asked each other. 7 Some of the villagers tried, however. The dressmaker kicked dirt over the line to hide it. The farmer poured water over the line to make it disappear. None of these attempts worked, and the people went home disappointed. 8 Everyone was puzzled about how to solve this new riddle. 9 A week passed, and nobody had any new ideas. Then one day the baker came into the courtyard with a bag of flour. 10 “Your Majesty,” the baker said to the king, “I can make your line shorter without erasing any part of it.” 11 The baker opened his sack of flour. He poured out a line of flour right next to the king’s line. The line the baker made was longer than the king’s line. 12 “Now, good king,” the baker smiled, “your line is shorter.” 13 The people were amazed. The king laughed and clapped his hands. “You have won the prize. I will give you a horse of your choice.” 14 The baker was thrilled. Now he could sell his breads from one end of the kingdom to the other. This text was first published by the VDOE in the 2011 Released SOL Test.

Home of the Dolphins These cute and delightful mammals can be found in numerous aquatic ecosystems on earth. Located in tropical and warm bodies of water around, bottlenose dolphins live in many of the world’s oceans. Some species live in the world’s rivers. These mammals travel in schools and are known for coming to the rescue of any fellow dolphins that are in danger. What great protectors they are! Hungry? Why Wait? Did you know that bottlenose dolphins are carnivores? Most people think otherwise because of how gentle the animals are presumed to be. Like bats, bottlenose dolphins track their prey using echolocation, which is a method of making rapid noises underwater which in turn bounce off of objects, which in turns reveals location, size, etc. of their prey to help them better hunt them down. The prey that they feast on include organisms such as fish, shrimp, crustaceans, and squid. Interesting Facts • Bottlenose dolphins are heavier than a piano. • These dolphins travel at speeds ranging from 1-18
miles per hour. • At first sight, it appears that bottlenose dolphins
are smiling because of their curved mouths. • Bottlenose dolphins can often be found trailing
behind boats, looking for leftover meals that humans are eating. Scientists also believe that the dolphins practice “bow-riding”, where they swim alongside boats, which helps conserve their energy.
• A pod of bottlenose dolphins can range from 500 to 700 dolphins.
