Duck Commander
Lyndon Crestfill

It is not easy to start up a business from scratch, but Phil Robertson made it look easy. There is an old saying, “If you build a better mousetrap, the world will beat a path to your door.” This saying turned out to be true for Phil and his love of duck hunting.

Phil grew up in rural Louisiana with six brothers and sisters. His family was poor, so hunting was an important way to get food and money. As a boy, Phil was a good hunter, but he was good at other things as well. In high school, he played many sports, including football, baseball, and track. He was such a great football player that he earned a college scholarship to Louisiana Tech. After graduating from college, he went back to the woods he called home. He returned to hunting again and he realized that the duck calls (special whistles that trick ducks into coming when they hear the sound) did not work so well. He wanted a duck call that would sound just like a real duck. So, in 1972, Phil began working on his new invention, a duck call that he named the Duck Commander.

At first, he did not sell many Duck Commanders. He made $8,000 during his first year, but that was not enough money to take care of his wife and four children. Still, Phil did not give up. He began the Duck Commander Company in 1973. He used his home for a factory and his family helped him make, package, and ship all the calls. He also made videos of himself explaining and showing how to use the duck calls. Some television networks saw his videos and thought that the family would make an interesting reality television show. Today, the Robertson family stars in the extremely popular reality show, Duck Dynasty. His company is now worth millions of dollars!

Because of hard work and dedication, Phil turned a good idea into a great business. He also proved that there is some truth in the old “build a better mousetrap” saying.

Some animals are able to regenerate new animals entirely from a piece of them. It is not as common among starfish, but worms, sea cucumbers, and sponges can regenerate new animals. If a flat worm, for example, is cut into pieces, each piece will grow into a new worm. Sea cucumbers can also multiply after being cut into pieces. Their bodies can be up to three feet long, and each new piece, after being cut, can become a new sea cucumber. And if sponges are divided, the sponges’ cells will regrow and combine in the exact same way they did before being divided

what is the best summary for this paragraph?
A. Some animals can regrow new animals from one piece. A new worm or sea cucumber can grow from one piece of an old one. Divided sponges regrow to be exactly how they were before the division.
B. Some animals can regrow new animals from a small piece of an old animal. If a flat worm is cut up, each piece will grow into a new worm. It is exactly the same way that sea cucumbers can regenerate.
C. Flat worms can be grown from pieces of another flat worm. So if a flat worm was cut into four pieces, four flat worms would grow—one from each piece. Sponges do not regenerate in the same way.
D. Animals like sea cucumbers can grow from a piece of the same kind of animal. Sea cucumbers are about three feet long. If they are cut up, new sea cucumbers will grow from each old piece.

Be not dismayed that her unmoved mind
Doth still persist in her rebellious pride:
And love not like to lusts of baser kind,
The harder won, the firmer will abide.
The durefull Oak, whose sap is not yet dried,
Is long ere it conceive the kindling fire:
But when it once doth burn, it doth divide,
Great heat, and makes his flames to heaven aspire.
So hard it is to kindle new desire,
In gentle breast that shall endure for ever:
Deep is the wound, that dints the parts entire
With chaste affects that naught but death can sever.
Then think not long in taking little pain,
To knit the knot that ever shall remain.
