       Leonard: Nairobi is quite cosmopolitan, and there is a big mixture
of people. Apart from black Kenians, there is a large Asian community
who have been there quite a long time, and a white Kenian community
who have been there since the 1930s. There is a big difference between
the rich and the poor.

       There are three states of matter. We know water in all three
states. We have solid water which we call ice; liquid water; and a gas
which we call steam. When we place a solid in a vessel, it keeps its
own size and shape. A liquid does not keep its own shape. It takes the
shape of the vessel, but keeps its own size. A gas takes both the size
and the shape of the vessel.
       A solid has a definite size and a definite shape.
       A liquid has a definite size but no definite shape.
        A gas has no definite size or shape.
       These three states depend on the freedom of the molecules to
move about. In a solid the molecules move very slowly; in a liquid they
move about more freely; in a gas they fly about with great speed.
       Is this body a solid or not? It is not always easy to answer this
question. A piece of pitch seems to be solid but when we place it in a
vessel it slowly takes the shape of the vessel. This shows that it really
is a very thick liquid. A thin jelly seems more liquid than pitch, but it
does not take the shape of its vessel. This means that it is a real solid.
