The Railway Children
By Edith Nesbit

Chapter I, The Beginning of Things

They were not railway children to begin with. I don't suppose they had ever thought about railways except as a means of getting to Maskelyne and Cook's, the Pantomime, Zoological Gardens, and Madame Tussaud's. They were just ordinary suburban children, and they lived with their Father and Mother in an ordinary red-brick-fronted villa, with coloured glass in the front door, a tiled passage that was called a hall, a bath-room with hot and cold water, electric bells, French windows, and a good deal of white paint, and 'every modern convenience', as the house-agents say.

There were three of them. Roberta was the eldest. Of course, Mothers never have favourites, but if their Mother HAD had a favourite, it might have been Roberta. Next came Peter, who wished to be an Engineer when he grew up; and the youngest was Phyllis, who meant extremely well.

Mother did not spend all her time in paying dull calls to dull ladies, and sitting dully at home waiting for dull ladies to pay calls to her. She was almost always there, ready to play with the children, and read to them, and help them to do their home-lessons. Besides this she used to write stories for them while they were at school, and read them aloud after tea, and she always made up funny pieces of poetry for their birthdays and for other great occasions, such as the christening of the new kittens, or the refurnishing of the doll's house, or the time when they were getting over the mumps.

These three lucky children always had everything they needed: pretty clothes, good fires, a lovely nursery with heaps of toys, and a Mother Goose wall-paper. They had a kind and merry nursemaid, and a dog who was called James, and who was their very own. They also had a Father who was just perfect—never cross, never unjust, and always ready for a game—at least, if at any time he was NOT ready, he always had an excellent reason for it, and explained the reason to the children so interestingly and funnily that they felt sure he couldn't help himself.

You will think that they ought to have been very happy. And so they were, but they did not know HOW happy till the pretty life in the Red Villa was over and done with, and they had to live a very different life indeed.

The dreadful change came quite suddenly.

We went to an amusement park,
my family and I.
We rode on rides so scary
I expected I would die.

We rode a roller-coaster
called The Homicidal Comet.
It had so many loop-de-loops
it nearly made us vomit.

We rode The Crazed Tornado
and it turned us hard and quick.
If it was any longer
we would certainly be sick.

We rode The Psycho Octopus,
which packed a nasty punch.
I think we’re pretty lucky
that we didn’t lose our lunch.

And last we rode repeatedly
The Flailing Tilt-a-Whirl,
It shook us all so sharply
I’m surprised we didn’t hurl.

What is seen in the middle of March and April that can’t be seen at the beginning or end of either month?
its a riddle and ik the answer brainliest to whoever can figure it out

Answers

" R " can be seen in the middle of March and April that can't be seen at the beginning or end of either month.

A brief explanation :

 Riddle asks to find out the objective which can be seen in the middle of March and April.

 In the first strike of the mind, we may think about what incidents or climate changes take place in between those two months. But it isn't that!

        March > m a R c h

            April > a p R i l

 " March " is a five letter word and so is " April " , and both the words have " R " as the common letter in the third place from the beginning or in the middle of the words.

 To say , there is no other letter common in either words orderly.

R, it’s in the middle of the word March, but not at the beginning of either of the words.

The first successful airplane was invented in 1903,The airplane stayed in flight for a few seconds.

Explanation:

You use a comma.

The correct combination of the two sentences given in the question is  - "The first successful airplane invented in 1903, stayed in flight for two seconds".

What does the combination of two sentences mean?

To combine two sentences mean to make them the two given sentences in one without altering their central value or changing their idea as to what they imply.

Altering a sentence can be done by simply either adding a few new words to them to not make a compromise with their meaning or to add punctuation marks or conjunctions and even sometimes, modifiers in the practice to not compromise with the meaning of the two sentences.

The sentences, when combined should make a complete sense and as well independent sense, meaning that their soleness must not be lost during making a combination of the two. Hence in the given sentence, the two had been joined simply by adding a punctuation mark between them.
