Summer is one of the best times for you and your dog to spend some good time outdoors. It's also the season that can be dangerous to dogs. In order to keep your pets safe, you will need to learn about the possible dangers.

Not all dogs can swim. In a perfect world, you hope that your dog will jump in the water and naturally know what to do. While some dogs(especially dogs like Labradors and Golden Retrievers) may naturally know how to swim，many others do not. There are many dogs who fear the water and refuse to learn to swim. You should never force a dog into the water.

Watch what your dog drinks. Most dogs will gladly drink the water in which they are swimming. This can bring a serious problem depending on the kind of water. Pool chemicalsare very dangerous and not healthy. Lake and river water may seem innocuous, but may have parasites. It is more possible to find parasites in standing water than in running water.

Dogs can get sunburned, too. Dogs with lighter hair, short hair or pink noses are in greater danger. But even long-haired dogs can get sunburned noses. Water reflects light, so it is more possible to get sunburned around water. Make sure that your dog is not always in the sun while swimming.

Little birds talk with their sisters and brothers in their nest*. They make a sound for food. Mum tells them to be quiet when danger comes. But now a new study finds that kind of talk begins long before the babies are born. Even in the eggs, they can talk with each other and know when to get out or when to keep waiting.

To check that finding, a team of scientists from Spain watched unborn birds carefully in Salvora Island. Over there, sea birds produce eggs and minks* eat baby birds. So it is quite a dangerous place for baby birds. Knowing when to come out of the egg is a matter of life and death.

Scientists collected sea bird eggs and put them into two groups. When minks come, a parent will give warning calls to the baby birds. Scientists played those calls for one group. While the other group stayed in a safe box. They would never hear such calls.

When scientists put all the eggs together, they found something surprising: after receiving warning calls, the eggs vibrated* more than the others. Those vibrations moved from one egg to another. It was just like there were ears in the eggs. It was clear that unborn birds talked with their sisters and brothers about danger.

Now, the VOA Special programmer WORDS AND THEIR STORIES.

(MUSIC)

Today, we will show the word "waste". It is something people tell us not to do. At home, parents tell us not to watch food in the classroom, teachers tell us not to waste time. One sports team, coaches tell us not to waste energy.

Waste often happens because we use something too much or because we do not use it well, we often use "waste" in arguments. lf we are unhappy with someone, we can say: "Don't waste my time. "And if you are not happy with something you did, you can say, "Well, that was a complete waste of time."

We also find it in some useful expressions". The first one is "Haste makes waste." "Haste" means doing something very quickly. "Haste makes waste" means if you move or do something in a hurry, you could make mistakes. And then it takes more time to correct mistakes. So, if you see your friends doing homework in a hurry, you can suggest, "Be careful with your work, you might make mistakes and then our teacher will make you do it again. Haste makes waste, you know. "

The other common expression is: "Waste Not, Want Nor." This means that if you never waste anything, especially food or money, you will always have it when you need it the most.

Now Let's hope learning about "waste" in this words and, There Stories was not a "complete waste of your time."
