    Title : Poodle becomes mother to baby squirrels
    I chose to read this article because it caught my attention , i like reading things about animals and I thought it was cute story.
    One question I would ask is when the housekeeper said she wants to keep wildlife in her house I would ask why ? I think that question would have made it more interesting because I think people should back up there statements .
    Cause & Effect : the baby squirrels had to leave SO the momma poodle was depressed.

    -World's Tallest Animals Make A Comeback
    -I love giraffes! How do they get that big? So the reader could be thinking about it.
    -Instead of disappearing as many feared, though, the giraffes have bounced miraculously back from the brink of extinction, swelling to more than 200 today.

  15. - "Wayward cat gets free flight to Chicago."
    - I chose this article because it was about a cat.
    - If I was the reporter asking questions I would ask,"How close do you near the airport?" I would ask this question, because if the cat lived far from the airport, then that would be a long walk then it would of took him a few days to get there.
    - One example of cause and effect would be, the family went out of town, so the cat ran away.
