    When some people think about Texas, they think of cowboys on the open range-herding cattle up a dusty trail. However, Texas has much more than open prairie with large herds of cows. There are the mountains of West Texas, the piney hills of east Texas, and the emerald waters off the coast of Padre Island. Texas also has large coastal harbors with numerous sailboats, powerboats, inland lakes, rivers, swamps of southeast Texas with alligators and other exotic wildlife.
    The Summary of this passage is:
    There are a lot of cows in Texas.
    There are many different, varied parts of Texas.
     Texas is one of the biggest states in the United States.
     There are alligators in the swampland of southeast Texas.

    Peter's favorite animals were the elephants.
    The camels were swatting flies with their tails.
