Once upon a time in the USA lived a girl named Dolly. She was 15 years old and she was in Std 8. Dolly lived with her parents and her elder sister. Dolly was a brilliant and smart student in the school. Her favorite subject was GK(General knowledge) and she liked to know about interesting and amazing facts. Dolly was so fond of this that she won every quiz competition in school and also she won in state-level quiz competitions. 


One day in the school a notice was circulated that the Annual Quiz Competition will be held after a week and the interested students should register their name to their respective class teacher. The notice was passed out in every class and Dolly also get to know about this and she was very excited about the competition. Dolly's friend Tia said to her "Dolly, you are definitely going to win in this competition but I still have a doubt that Hayley would do something so that she wins for just one time". Dolly said, "Tia don't worry whatever she will do but only I will win". Tia was relaxed but still, she was worried for Dolly. 


Dolly arrived home and changed into her casual clothes and suddenly she became worried and sad. Dolly's elder sister Ellie came into Dolly's room and she was surprised to see Dolly sad. Ellie asked Dolly "Dolly, why are you sad"? Dolly said, "My school's Annual Quiz Competition is next week that's why I am sad". Ellie said, "That's nice so why are you sad you like to know about facts and you are really fond of this so what's the problem"? Dolly said, "Ellie, I didn't collect any new GK facts because as I am in Std-8, my studies are increasing day by day that's why I can't collect so many facts that I used to collect". Ellie said, "Oh! I see. Well I have an idea". Dolly excitedly said, "What's the idea"? Ellie said, "Well, you were taking so much interest in GK facts that I thought to also take a little bit interest in this also and I searched some interesting facts and I learned about it". Dolly said, "That's great. I didn't think that you would ever take interest in this topic". Ellie said, "Dolly of course I would need to learn some facts because it is also helpful in college". Dolly said, "Ok no problem. But one thing that I am in Std 8 and I have a lot of studies and you are in college so of course, you would have more studies than I have so how do you get time to collect facts"? Ellie replied, "Dolly, I do Time Management that's why I can keep a balance between studies and other activities and you don't do that thing that's why you don't get time". Dolly said, "Oh! I see. Ok from now onwards I would do Time Management so that I can collect facts". Ellie said, "Ok fine, later on, I will teach you but for now, grab a notebook and a pen and give it to me". Dolly said "Yes" and gave the notebook and the pen to Ellie. Ellie said to Dolly "I am writing the facts and later on you shall learn it. Also I am writing only 20 facts and I will tell you more facts next day". Dolly said "It's absolutely fine. You can tell me this whole week about the facts that you collected and in meanwhile, I will also learn some facts myself. Ellie said, "Ok that's fine but now read the facts that I have written".
