All living things need energy to stay alive. This energy comes from 
                    the sun. Plants make their food from energy from the sun. Animals get
                    their energy from the food they eat.  Animals depend on other living things
                    for food.  Some animals eat plants while others eat other animals. 
                         This passing of energy from the sun to plants to animals to other 
                   animals is called a FOOD CHAIN.
