upside down.2.When you look at a rainbow, have you ever wondered if other people see the other side of rainbow at the same time ? You can see both sides of a bridge,because there are two sides. You only have to walk to see the other side of a bridge,but a rainbow has only only one side.
3.It is impossible to sleep with our eyes open. To keep them open needs effort,although the brain does this for you without having to think when you are awake.When you become sleepy,you relax and your eyelids
drop because of their own weight.
