The man asked a farmer if he could hunt for metal in his fi eld. “Beep-beep” went his detector. He found old tractor parts. “Buzz, buzz,” went his detector. That means gold! It was a 1,700-year-old coin. It shows the face of a Roman emperor named Allectus. There are only 24 of these coins in the world. The fi nder sold the coin. He will share his money with the farmer. Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:20-21 that our hearts are with our treasures. So we should “lay up treasures in heaven.”

The main garbage dump for Rome closed six years ago. It had no more room. It was not safe. The company that collects Rome’s garbage is in debt. It cannot keep up. Many people in the city do not want to recycle. City leaders cannot make a good plan. Doctors warn that people could become sick. How will the city solve its trash problem? Who will help? The book of Leviticus contains many laws for Israel. Chapter 11:32-40 teaches God‘s people how to keep food and water supplies pure. He cares about all parts of His creation. 3

A sand sculpture festival was held in Germany. One castle was 58 feet tall. It set a Guinness World Record. Artists needed more than buckets and shovels. They used a digger and a crane. The sand weighed more than three elephants! People can visit the castle until November. But you know it won’t last. Matthew 7:24 says that Jesus’ words are like a house built on rock. It won’t wash away like sand does. 1AP Photos God’s Big WORLD • September/October 2019

Burmese pythons get big and hungry. There are too many in Florida. They eat other animals. Scientists have a plan to catch pythons. First they catch one snake and put a tracker inside it. This makes the snake a spy! The snake is released. It goes back to where other snakes like to

Fairs celebrate things that make each state special. There are contests for the best vegetable or the biggest animal! Kids your age can bring their rabbits, sheep, or other critters. Each winner gets a blue ribbon. Many fairs have rides that spin or jump. The Ferris wheel turns slowly so people can see from up high. Ecclesiastes 3:13 says “everyone should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toil—this is God’s gift to man.” 3

that made cute, sad faces. Dogs look at people. They tell us what they want with their eyes. They have muscles that make their eyebrows lift. A team of scientists has learned that wolves
