Leap Year

"Do you know how many days there are in one year? Most years have 365 days. Some years have 366 days. A year is the time it takes for the earth to go around the sun. It takes a little more than 365 days. It takes 365 days, five hours, 48 minutes, and 45 seconds. In each year of 365 days there is time that doesn't get used up. The extra five hours, 48 minutes, and 45 seconds is saved. Every four years, the extra time is put together to make an extra day. This day is February 29. In most years, February has 28 days. Once every four years February has 29 days. A year with an extra day is a leap year." --Reading Naturally 2.0, Story 12

I am not trying to plagiarize. I am just trying to prove that I've heard this read enough times to be able to type it out from memory. I've heard it for an hour straight, three times a week, for the past 4 weeks. I'm ready for a new story.
