Read This Before You Begin

The Old Lighthouse During a family trip to the coast, Marcus noticed a tall white lighthouse standing on a rocky cliff. His mother explained that lighthouses have helped guide ships safely for hundreds of years. Long ago, sailors relied on the bright light from the lighthouse to warn them about dangerous rocks near the shore. At night, the rotating beam could be seen from far out at sea. Marcus and his family walked along a path that led to the lighthouse. A sign explained that the lighthouse keeper once lived there and was responsible for keeping the light shining every night. Today, modern navigation technology helps ships travel safely, but the lighthouse remains an important historical landmark. Marcus realised that even though technology has changed, the lighthouse still tells an important story about the past.
