Dear Anna,

Thanks for your last email. I'm sorry I haven't replied to you sooner, but I've got

lots of homework this term, so I'm very busy.

Anyway, I've got a bit of a problem with the first 3-day holiday this year. I was

Kota Tua with my cousin.

Both places appeal to me; both of them are really interesting and I don't know

which one to choose!

I must make a decision as quickly as possible because they want an answer from

me before Wednesday. The problem is, I've got to hurt either my cousin or my

friend, Cathy. I can't go to both places at the same time. Oh Anna, what should I

do? Help!

Either ring me or reply quickly with your advice. (And tell me about you. You and

your family are coming to my house in the end of this holiday, aren't you?)

Elphy, the Unhappy Elephant

A five year old elephant, called Elphy, was always unhappy. He found all

things that his group did were boring. His group only did the same things over and

over again. They ate the same food, played in the mud in the same river, and took

the same route to the river. Nobody heard him when he proposed something new

to do!

Elphy got unhappier every day. So, he decided to go from his own group.

He did not tell anybody about this decision. Anyway, nobody cared.

Elphy was so delighted to see a group of chickens. The chickens welcomed

him. They brought him into their barn. He was curious of the food and games they

played. He learned quickly, and after four days, he got bored. He found that the

chickens were the same as his own group!

Elphy decided to go. After one day walking, he met a group of noisy pigs.

He was very delighted. He joined them, learned to eat their food, and played their

games. But, after three days, he quickly came to a conclusion that pigs were notbetter than his own group and the chickens.

Again, Elphy decided to go. After a few hours walking, he met a group of

cows. He was delighted by the wide, green pasture where cows ate grass. He

learned quickly all the new things that cows did. In just two days, however, he

found himself bored. His conclusion was the same: cows were not better than his

own group, the chickens, and the pigs!

Off he went and came to a huge river bank. Not far from him was a deep

waterfall! The sound of (he water was so loud. He was more surprised with a

number of monkeys playing on the tree branches. They joked and laughed at eachother. Seeing the big Elphy, they invited him, -Come on big guy. why don't you

climb the nearby tree and play with us!"

They did it to mock the elephant. Unfortunately, Elphy took the challenge

seriously. His curiosity blinded him. He decided to climb the biggest tree at the

river bank. What happened next was just predictable. Even the biggest tree could
