What's Your Address?
By KATHLEEN W. REDMAN
  

1     "What's your address?" Miss Childs asked the new girl.
 
2     "313 Jackson Street, Miles City, Florida 32008, United States, Northern Hemisphere, Planet Earth, Solar System," Nora answered.
 
3     The children in Miss Childs' third grade class giggled.
 
4     "That's a silly address," one girl said.
 
5     "That's not a real address," a boy said.
 
6     Many of the children nodded. They did not believe that Nora's address could be so long.
 
7     "Maybe you should not laugh, children," Miss Childs said. "Let's think about Nora's address together. We'll use what we have been learning in science. Please get out your science books."
 
8     The children put their science books on their desks. They turned to the chapter about astronomy.
 
9     "Okay," Miss Childs said. "What is your street address, Bobby?"
 
10     "It's 407 Beal Street," Bobby said.
