A friend in need is a friend indeed
Once upon a time there lived a lion in a forest. One day after a heavy meal. It was sleeping under a tree. After a while, there came a mouse and it started to play on the lion. Suddenly the lion got up with anger and looked for those who disturbed its nice sleep. Then it saw a small mouse standing trembling with fear. The lion jumped on it and started to kill it. The mouse requested the lion to forgive it. The lion felt pity and left it. The mouse ran away.
On another day, the lion was caught in a net by a hunter. The mouse came there and cut the net. Thus, it escaped. Thereafter, the mouse and the lion became friends. They lived happily in the forest afterwards.

The Global Economy
Between 1914 and 1918 much of the world was engaged in World War I. The immediate cause of WWI was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. Such factors as political, territorial and economic conflicts, militarism, a complex web of alliances and alignments, imperialism, the growth of nationalism, and the power vacuum created by the decline of the Ottoman Empire are also cited as causes for the conflict. Although the United States participated in the fighting, no actual combat took place in America. The war devastated countries such as France and Germany, and it gave rise to a socialist government in Russia, which was renamed the Soviet Union. The United States remained strong and was in a good position to lend money to other countries for postwar rebuilding. The Dawes plan, for instance, named after American banker Charles G. Dawes, was a plan in which the United States lent money at interest to Germany, which was forced to pay reparations (money paid to make amends or pay for war damages) to France and England. This loan opened the door to heavy American investment in Europe and made the dollar the international currency of choice.
