A new library opened last month in Norway. But it may be a little hard for you to visit. It is 150 meters under the ground. It is inside an old mine(矿井)on the island of Svalbard. The island is about 1,000 km from the North Pole(北极).

The library is called The World Arctic Archive. In fact, it’s not made for people to visit. It is to protect the world’s most important books from natural disasters(自然灾害)and wars，reported the Daily Mail. Some people also call it the “doomsday(世界末日)library’.

According to the company that built the library, Svalbard was the best place to build it. “Deep in the permafrost(永冻土层), it’s about minus 10 degrees,” the company told The Verge. “In this environment, the books can last for more than 500 years.”

So far, three countries-Norway, Mexico and Brazil have put books in the library. The Brazilian Constitution(宪法)is one of the books.

This story comes from Nagaland in Northeast India. The Nagas say that, many years ago, the moon lived close to the earth near their village and made friends with the people there. One day, an old woman was cleaning her house. She hit the moon with her brush when she was not looking. The moon began to cry in pain. The children laughed at the crying moon and started to throw stones at it.

Only one little girl felt sad because the children were hurting the moon. She told the children to stop but they did not listen. Soon the moon decided to go and live far away from the earth in the sky so the children from the village could not find it. The moon turned its face away from the earth so the children could not see it.

The little girl was sad and sang a song to make the moon return. This was why, every month, the sky was dark except when the moon turned its face to the earth again to listen to the little girl singing.
