what places they are about.
Do
you know where the Hawaiian Islands are? Do you what country they belong to?
They are I the central part of the Pacific Ocean and belong to the United
States of America. Hawaii became the 50th state of the USA in 1959.
Captain Cook found these islands just a few years after he discovered
Australia. He put these islands on the map and gave a name.

the world is the Grand Canyon in Arizona.

Today, in the Grand Canyon you can see how big it really was. The word ‘grand’
means ‘very big’.

was not because he stopped there to have a sandwich. The Earl of Sandwich was
paying for Captain Cook’s expedition and this was how the Captain thanked the
Earl.
