The "touchstone" was a small pebble that could turn any common metal into pure gold. The writing explained that it was lying among thousands of other pebbles that looked exactly like it, and the secret was that the real stone would feel warm, while pebbles were cold.

Animals are everywhere, could the secret of understanding them be beyond human perception? Well, perhaps, because there are situations in which certain animals can sense and respond to possible disasters; so they get out of the place , but we have no idea of how they can do this.
The belief animals can predict earthquakes has been around for centuries. Catfish moving violently, chickens that stop eggs and bees leaving their hive in panic have been reported. But precisely what animals sense, is a mystery. One theory is that wild and domestic creatures before humans. Other ideas suggest they detect electrical changes in the air or gas released from the earth. Some creatures may also be able to hear infrasound - sounds produced by natural phenomena, earthquakes, volcanoes, and storms, that are to the human ear. This ability may give these animals enough time to react and flee to safety.
