Chapter- Jeannie’s Amber Beads
By Jane Andrews
1) What did Jeannie’s grandfather find on the beach one day? What did he do with it?
Hints: Grandfather Kenneth - found amber beads - when he was a young lad. He got the beads from the wreck of a ship - Goshawk - which had sunk in the sea waters near his home. He went to look for - what he could save - from the wreck. Among the slippery seaweeds, he accidentally stepped on a piece of amber. It was a clear, shining lump - and all the creatures - were embedded in it. He worked carefully - to save the embedded insect - or weed in each piece. The grandfather - carved out the beads - himself and gave - them to his wife - as a wedding gift. His wife - wore it for - many years - and left it to - her granddaughter, Jeannie, before she died.
2) What was special about Jeannie’s necklace of amber beads?
Hints: Her grandmother had given the beads- to Jeannie - on her twelfth birthday. The beads had the rich colour - of bright sunshine- when an amber bead was rubbed- it gave off a fragrance- and it- could attract things- like a magnet
3) How do insects get trapped inside amber?
Hints: Thousands of insects- fluttered about the yellow gum - in the warm sunshine- they were attracted - by its pleasant smell- and also by its taste. Once they alighted- upon it, they stuck to it fast - and could not get away. The great yellow drops- oozing out surrounded and covered them entirely. Wind - blown bits of moss, leaves, acorns, cones and little sticks too were soon stuck in the fast - flowing gum. As time went by, the gum hardened more and more and became amber beads
