It was a beautiful Sunday. As I am not an early bird by nature, I thought I would laze in bed for a
while, but my mother told me to get up and not to laze the day away.
Reluctantly, I dragged myself out of bed, but only after my mother promised
to have breakfast ready for me very soon. Still feeling groggy, I tripped over my
sister‘s doll and fell. I yelled out in pain and threw the doll through the door. My
little sister was coming through the door at the same time, but managed to duck
in the nick of time. However, the doll hit the passage wall and its head broke off.

unhappy, I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth. While brushing my teeth, I was lamenting the

What a bad morning! I hope I will never have such a bad luck again.

Lionel Andrés Messi , born on 24 June 1987, is an Argentine footballer who
currently plays for Barcelona and the Argentine national team. He is one of the best
football players of his generation and is frequently considered as the world's best
contemporary player. Lionel Messi, whose playing style and ability have drawn
comparisons to Diego Maradona, received Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of
the Year nominations by the age of 21 and won both by the age of 22. Diego Maradona once declared
that Messi was his "successor."
Lionel Messi's talent was early detected by his father. When he began playing with the local
team, his potential was quickly identified by Barcelona . At the age of 11, he was diagnosed with a
growth hormone deficiency, which is a medical condition in which the body does not produce enough
growth hormone and whose treatment nessecitates a lot of money. He left Rosario-based Newell's Old
Boys' youth team in 2000 and moved with his family to Europe, as Barcelona offered treatment for his
growth hormone deficiency. Making his debut in the 2004–05 season, he broke the La Liga record for
the youngest footballer to play a league game, and also the youngest to score a league goal. Major
honours soon followed as Barcelona won La Liga in Messi's debut season, and won a double of the
league and Champions League in 2006. His breakthrough season was in 2006–07; he became a first
team regular, scoring a hat-trick in El Clásico and finishing with 14 goals in 26 league games. Perhaps
his most successful season was the 2008–09 season, in which Messi scored 38 goals to play an integral
part in a treble-winning campaign.

Alfred Bernhard Nobel was a Swedish chemist, engineer, innovator, and
ornament manufacturer. He was the inventor of dynamite. He also owned Bofors,
which he had redirected from its previous role as primarily an iron and steel producer
to a major manufacturer of cannons and other ornaments. He held 355 different

himself to the study of explosives, and especially to the safe manufacture and use of nitroglycerine

University of Turin. A big explosion occurred on 2 September 1864 at his factory in Heleneborg in
Stockholm, killing five people. Among them was his younger brother, Emil.
The foundations of the Nobel Prize were laid in 1895 when Alfred Nobel wrote his last will,

Sunday morning a few days ago. When I was about to have my
routine cup of coffee along with a bagel, I realized that I did not have any
bread at all. I have to admit that I am unable to enjoy coffee without some
kind of baked goods.
Then I decided to run out to buy something, but all the stores were
closed, but one. That store did not have any fresh pastries, and I ended up
buying four slices of wheat bread. I was frustrated for two reasons:
firstly, I couldn‘t enjoy drinking my coffee on Sunday morning; and secondly, the sales woman
charged me $3.00 for four slices of bread!
Next, I returned to the building where I live on the tenth floor, stepped into the elevator, pushed
the button, and got out. When I reached my apartment and tried to unlock the door, I could not turn the
key. I made a few attempts without success. I started banging on the door hoping to wake up my daughter.
I was not successful at that either.
I can‘t explain how it crossed my mind to check the number of the apartment. The apartment
number was correct, except for the first digit: the apartment was on the ninth floor, but the tenth. I was
shocked to realize that I had been banging on somebody else‘s door.
I still muse over what might have happened if somebody had opened the door and what he or she
would have said to me at 8:00 am on Sunday morning.
13. What is the purpose of the author in writing the text?
A. To tell about his ruined Sunday morning routine
B. To tell about his mistake in finding her apartment
C. To show how angry he was for not being able to enter his apartment
D. To tell about the expensive price of the bread he bought at a local store
14. When he went to the store, he intended to buy ... .

C. Wheat bread
D. Fresh pastries
15. Why couldn‘t he open the door of her apartment?
A. he took the wrong key
B. It was not her apartment.
C. His apartment door was broken
D. His daughter locked the door from the
inside
16. Which statement is not true based on the text?

C. He had mistakenly tried to enter an apartment.
D. There was not any baked goods to enjoy with her coffee.
Dear Joke,
I just got a call from Tina. She told me your father passed away a week ago. I’m sorry to hear
such sad news. Please accept my condolences. I’m also sorry I couldn’t attend the funeral because I
was already here in Padang. I know it must be very hard for you and your family, but time heals all
wounds. Just remember him the way he was: caring, understanding, and so full of life.
Take good care of yourself, will you, and if you and your family need me for anything, just call
me, okay? I’ll be back next week.

My Day at the Beach
Last week my friend and I were bored after three weeks of holidays,
so we rode our bikes to Nyamplung Beach, which is only five kilometres from
where I live. When we arrived at the beach, we were surprised to see there
was hardly anyone there. After having a quick dip in the ocean, which was
really cold, we realized one reason there were not many people there. It was
also quite windy.
After we bought some hot chips at the takeaway store nearby, we rode our bikes down the beach
for a while, on the hard, damp part of the sand. We had the wind behind us and, before we knew it, we
were many miles down the beach. Before we made the long trip back, we decided to paddle our feet in the
water for a while, and then sat down for a rest. While we were sitting on the beach, just chatting, it
suddenly dawned on us that all the way back, we would be riding into the strong wind.
When we finally made it back home, we were both totally exhausted! But we learned some good
lessons that day.

Along while ago a tortoise sat on the dusty land and watched the birds
wheeling and circling in the air over his head. He grew dissatisfied with his lowly
life when he saw so many of them enjoying themselves in the clear blue sky; he
longed to join them and share their freedom.‖ If only I could get myself up into the
air I‘m sure I could soar and swoop with the best of them,‖ he thought.
He pondered on this problem for a long time; the sun burned down and he got hotter and more
discontented as he enviously watched the birds.
Suddenly an eagle came to rest on a rock close beside him and, seizing such a favorable
opportunity, the tortoise offered all the treasures of the sea if only the monarch of the air would teach him
to fly.
The eagle at first declined the task, for he considered it not only absurd but impossible, but, being
further pressed by the entreaties and promises of the tortoise, he finally agreed to try.
Taking him up to a great height in the air, the eagle loosened his hold, bidding the stupid tortoise
to fly it cold. Before the misguided creature could express a word of thanks he fell upon a huge rock and
was dashed to pieces.

crying out, ―Help! Help!‖ he looked around, and finally he saw a wolf. A
great stone had fallen on his back so that he could not get up. He asked the
rabbit‘s help, and said that he would die if nobody helped him.
The rabbit worked very hard, and finally managed to get the big stone
off the wolf‘s back. Then the wolf jumped up and caught the rabbit in his
mouth. The rabbit cried and asked for mercy, but the wolf insisted on
killing him for his meal.
Then the rabbit said, ―No good person kills someone who has helped him. It is not fair. You can ask
the duck who is very fat and knows everything.‖
So, both of them went to the tortoise. He listened to their story, and then he said, ―Show me the
stone.‖ They went to the stone.
―Now let me be sure about this,‖ said the tortoise. ―Put the stone on the wolf‘s back exactly as it was when
you found him.‖ So the wolf lay down, and with much effort the stone was put on his back again.
―Well, what do you think?‖ the wolf asked the tortoise. The tortoise thought for a moment. Then
he said, ―I think you were wrong to be cruel to the rabbit, who had helped you. Now see if someone else
will help you! And leaving him in the sorry state in which the rabbit had come upon him, they went their
way.

is a flood you must save yourself. Use this ―lesung‖ as a boat‖. the boy was
happy and thanked the old woman.
The little boy continued his journey. While he was passing through the village, he saw many people
gathering on the field. The boy came closer and saw a stick stuck in the ground. People challenged each other to
pull out that stick. Everybody tried, but nobody succeeded. ―Can I try?‖ asked the little boy. The crowd laughed
mockingly. The boy wanted to try his luck so he stepped forward and pulled out the stick. He could do it very
easily. Everybody was dumbfounded.
Suddenly, from the hole left by the stick, water spouted out. It did not stop until it flooded the village.
And no one was safe from the water except the little boy and the generous old woman who gave him shelter and
meal. As she told him, he used the ―lesung‖ as a boat and picked up the old woman.
The whole village became a huge lake. It is now known as Rawa Pening Lake in Salatiga, Central Java,
Indonesia.

Last year I left New Zealand for Bunaken Island. I went there
with a group of New Zealand divers. Getting there was not quite easy.
Soon after our arrival at Bunaken, we got a general briefing. It
included a description about how to take pictures under water.
Then, we began our diving. In our diving, we saw groups of tiny
fish. In order to identify them, we need a good guide. Without some
knowledge of their habit and behaviour, it was difficult to identify.
In summary, the trip was mostly enjoyable. This place is so impressive with its marine life.

decided to ask his landlord for some. Therefore, he killed one of his ducks and gave it to the landlord as a
present.
The landlord received the present and thanked the farmworker. The landlord could not divide the
duck fairly, so he asked the farmer, ―How can I divide this duck fairly? I have a wife, two sons and two
daughters.‖
The farmworker took his knife and cut off the head of the duck. ―This is for you, ― he said, ―because
you‘re the head of the family.‖

Jellyfish are not really fish. They are invertebrate animals. This means that unlike fish or people,
they have no backbones. In fact, they have no bones at all.
Jellyfish have stomachs and mouths, but no heads. They have nervous systems
for sensing the world around them, but no brains. They are made almost entirely of
water, which is why you can look through them.
Some jellyfish can glow in darkness by making their own light. The light is
made by a chemical reaction inside the jellyfish. Scientists believe jellyfish glow for
several reasons. For example, they may glow to scare away predators or to attract
animals they like to eat.
Most jellyfish live in salt water, apart from a few types that live in fresh water. Jellyfish are found in
oceans and seas all over the world. They live in warm, tropical seas and in icy waters near the North and

I had never been camping before I met my best friend, Jacklyn.
I didn‘t know that camping meant sleeping out in nature, in a tent. I
guess I didn‘t really think about it at all.
We were off to a nearby campground. We drove in and paid for
our site. It was beautiful. There were ducks and a small lake and up on
the hill there was a pool and small store if you needed anything.
At dusk we lit our fire. It was very nice and pleasant. However I had a small allergy problem with
mosquitoes. I hate bugs, and mosquitoes seem to be the worse, due to their stinging and being irritating. It
was awful, but the camp fire was nice. Jacklyn told me about her camping stories. They were really
interesting.
After a full night of stories and fire, we settled in out the tent. We slept in our sleeping bags on the
ground. To my surprise, the ground was not wet, and we had a small air mattress under us. Of course, the
mattress wasn‘t as comfortable as mine at home but it was no problem.
Then in the middle of the night I heard scuffling just out of our tent. I woke Jacklyn and I told her that
there was a bear in our camp. She told me to just go back to sleep. I really didn‘t know that there were
bears in local camp grounds.
The next morning I woke to the same noises and found the culprit. It was ducks. I felt so stupid.
To this day we still talked about my first camping trip.
It was a very memorable experience.

Snakes are reptiles (cold-blooded creatures). They belong to the same group as lizards (the scaled
group, Sumatra) but form a sub-group of their own (Serpents).
Snakes have two legs but long time ago they had claws to help them slither along. Snakes are not slimy.
They are covered in scales which are just bumps on the skin. Their skin is hard and glossy to reduce
friction as the snake slithers along the ground.
Snakes often sun bake on rocks in the warm weather. This is because snakes are cold-blooded and
they need the sun‘s warmth to heat their body up. Most snakes live in the country. Some types of snakes
live in trees; some live in water, but most live on the ground in deserted rabbit burrows, in thick, long
grass and in old logs. A snake‘s diet usually consists of frogs, lizard, and mice and other snakes.
Many snakes protect themselves with their fangs. Boa Constrictors can give you a bear hug which
is so powerful it can crush every single bone in your body. Some snakes are protected by scaring their
enemies away like the Cobra.

What is the Significance of Rabbits‘ Large Ears
A rabbit is a small furry mammal with a short tail and pointed ears.
Rabbits live in burrow in the ground. Each burrow is the home of a single family.
The first fossil which can be attributed to this family came from North America
but now they are found in every part of the world. Compared to its small body
rabbit has large-sized ears.
A rabbit is a weak and timid animal and is always surrounded by many enemies. Therefore nature
has gifted it with large ears to help it to hear even the fun of drop sound. The large area of the ear catches
almost every sound wave produced in the air and transfers them into the inner ear. This makes the rabbit
to detect its enemies in time and run to safety zones.
You must have noticed that a rabbit washes its ears by repeatedly licking its forepaws and rubbing
them over the surface of its ears. It does this in order to keep its ears clean, and also to take into its mouth
natural oil which surrounds the ear surface. This oil is important in forming vitamin D which is necessary
for the growth of healthy bones. If the rabbit is not allowed to form this, it will develop rickets.

A. How enemies surround a rabbit.

Masjid Agung Demak (or the Great Demak Mosque) is one of the oldest mosques in Indonesia It
is located in the center town of Demak, Central Java Indonesia. The mosque is believed to be built by
Sunan Kalijaga, one of the Wali Songo (nine Muslim saints) during the first Demak Sultanate ruler, Raden
Patah during the 15th century. This mosque is the proof of glory achieved by the Demak Bintoro kingdom
as the first Islamic kingdom in Java island.

wooden religious structures from the Hindu-Buddhist civilizations of Java and Bali. The main entrance of
Masjid Agung Demak consists of two doors carved with motifs of plants, vases, crowns and an animal
head with an open wide-toothed mouth. It is said that picture depicts the manifested thunder caught by Ki

Erosion is a slow process of the loosening of soil, sands and rocks from the land. There are
two causes of erosion. First, water may be the cause of erosion. Heavy rain falls on sloping land.
The rain loosens the soil and carries it away.
Second, wind also becomes the cause of erosion. The wind blows soil away from places where
there are no plants.
Plants help protect land from erosion. Their roots absorb water and hold soil in place. If the plants
are destroyed, a large amount of soil or sand can be blown away.
15. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The roots absorb the water.
B. Erosion is caused by the plants.
C. Soil can be blown by the wind.
D. Plants help to protect land from the erosion
What is an iceberg?
An iceberg is an enormous piece of ice in the sea. ―Berg‖
is the German word for mountain. It the coldest parts of the
earth, around the North and south Poles, land and sea are both
covered by sheets of ice, over 300.
Tongues of ice, called glaciers, stretch out into the open
waters of the oceans. The sea water melts the bottom parts of
these glaciers, then the top part slides into the water with a
mighty roar. The great piece of ice sinks for a short time
beneath the surface then it rises again, and floats away as a new
iceberg. Some icebergs are miles and several years before they
finally melt. The part of an iceberg which can be seen above
the water is only about one-ninth of the total size. The rest is
hidden beneath the waves.
One of the world‘s worst disasters at sea was in 1912
when the liner ‗Titanic‘ collided with an iceberg in her maiden
voyage.

all day, hauling heavy loads. The lapdog stayed with his master all day and lived
in the house with him. He did not work, but was allowed to sit on the master‘s
lap. The donkey grew jealous of the lapdog.
Perhaps if I behave like the dog, like wagging my tail and jumping on the master, the master will
start loving me as much as he does the dog. So, the donkey decided to wait for his chance.
One day, when he was left unattended, the donkey broke his halter and ran into the farmhouse
kitchen. There the farmer sat at table. The donkey rushed up to him and began wagging his tail vigorously,
and knocked off all the chain from the table. He then started jumping around and frolicking like a little
dog, and finally plonked himself down on the farmer‘s lap. The shocked farmer yelled for help. The

Dinosaurs were a type of lizards. They lived from about 230 million to about 65 million years ago.
In 1842, Sir Richard Owen created the word dinosaur. It came from Greek words denies, meaning
―terrible‖ and saguaros, meaning ―lizard‖. Dinosaurs lived on earth for about 140 million years.
During the dinosaurian era, the days were short. The sun was not as hot as it is today. On earth
there was only one big continent and one big ocean. The name of the continent was panged (all lands) and
the name of the ocean was panthallassa (all seas).
There were many kinds of dinosaurs. Some of them were very big and some others were small. Some
dinosaurs ate leaves and some others ate meat. Some dinosaurs could fly.

the earth. The comet caused fire and it killed the trees. Dinosaurs could not eat because there were no trees
on earth and finally they died and became extinct.

Once upon a time, there live a kind young prince named Jonathan. He
was loved and adored by his people. His two close friends were Peter Piper, the
servant of the palace, and Franklin Greedy, the son of an aristocrat.
One day, the Prince, Peter Piper, and Franklin Greedy were walking
through the forest. Suddenly, a group of bandits attacked the three boys near an
old house. They entered the old house and blockaded the gate and doors. The
three boys were trapped inside the house.
Franklin was very terrified and asked the Prince to surrender immediately, but Peter was not afraid.
He urged and supported the Prince not to give up. The Prince decided not to surrender because he realized
that he would become a hostage for the bandits to ask for ransom to his father, but Franklin was scared
and wanted to make a deal, it made Peter suspicious about Franklin‘s behavior. So, he quietly made up a
plan for him and the Prince to escape.
Early at dawn, Franklin opened the front gate and unlocked the doors. The bandits entered the
house in search of the Prince. When they came to the room where the prince was supposed to be sleeping,
no one was there. Suddenly they heard a horse running outside the house and saw over the window that

Under the sea mountains are higher, the valleys are deeper, the plains are wider, the cliffs are

Under the sea mountains have no trees, grass or snow. They lie in complete darkness, never
warmed by the sun. Sometimes the peaks of these mountains stick out above the water. Then we call them
islands. But the tops of most undersea mountains lie hidden, sometimes more than half a mile under the
wave. A few are flat – topped volcanoes that once were islands but have been covered by the sea.
Sailors have to know where the tops of the tallest underwater mountains are so they won‘t bump

Air transportation depends almost entirely on engine-powered craft, especially aeroplanes. Engineless
vehicles, such as gliders and hot-air balloons, are used mainly for recreation.
Aero planes provide the world‘s fastest practical transportation. Only spacecrafts travel faster, but
they are not yet a practical form of transportation. Big airlines routinely fly 500 to 600 miles per hour
(mph) or 800 to 970 kilometers per hour (km/h). Most private planes and some older airliners are powered
by gasoline engines and driven by propellers. Nearly all-newer airliners and some private planes have jet
engines. Supersonic jets fly faster than the speed of sound. These planes travel at about 1,500 mph (2,410
km/h). Most airliners chiefly carry passengers. Even the biggest planes can carry only a fraction of the

King Aruya said angrily, "That is not true! No body knows everything. For example, do you
know how many stars there are in the sky? Guards! Throw this liar into the river of crocodiles!"
Ombah's hands trembled. Then he thought to himself, "King Aruya will also punish me if I
say the wrong thing.
My brother said he knew everything and his answer was wrong. So if I say the opposite, my
answer will be right." Ombah then said, to King Aruya, "Your majesty, I know nothing." King Aruya

This text is for number 38- 39. Turmeric, an orange-colored spice imported from India, is part the ginger family and has been a
staple in Middle Eastern and Southeast Asian cooking for thousands of years.
In addition, ayurvedic and Chinese medicines utilize turmeric to clear infections and
inflammations on the inside and outside of the body. But beyond the holistic health community,
Western medical practitioners have only recently come on board in recognizing the benefits of
turmeric.
Doctors at UCLA recently found that curcumin, the main component in turmeric, appeared to
block an enzyme that promotes the growth of head and neck cancer.
In that study, 21 subjects with head and neck cancers chewed two tablets containing 1,000
milligrams of curcumin. An independent lab in Maryland evaluated the results and found that the
cancer-promoting enzymes in the patients’ mouths were inhibited by the curcumin and thus
prevented from advancing the spread of the malignant cells.
38. Where does tumeric come from?
A. India
B. China
C. Southeast Asia
D. Middle Eastern Asia
39. What is mainly discussed in paragraph 3?

Tigers are members of the cat family. Lions, leopards, cheetahs, and house cats are also
members of the cat family. Tigers are the largest cats, and the only cats with stripes. They live in
large forests in southern and southeastern Asia.
A tiger’s short fur is usually colored dark orange with black stripes. Each tiger has different
stripes, and you can use them to tell tigers apart. The stripes make a tiger stand out if you see them
in the open. In the forests where tigers live, however, the stripes make them almost invisible.
Tigers have explosive speed. They have strong muscles and long legs that help them move
extremely fast over short distances. Their long tails give them balance while running fast. Powerful
jaws and sharp teeth help tigers grab and kill prey once they catch it.
Tigers eat the largest animals they can catch. They hunt wild boars, deer, wild cows, young
elephants, and young rhinos. Tigers also kill farmers’ cows and goats. Tigers prefer to avoid people.
Sometimes they attack and kill people, but only if they can’t find other food.
Tigers hunt alone. They usually hunt at night. Tigers will travel 6 to 20 miles (10 to 30 kilometers) in
one night while searching for prey.
Tigers sneak up on their prey. They use the trees and grass to hide. A tiger slowly and
silently sneaks until its prey is about 30 feet (about 10 meters) away. The tiger then lunges,
lightning-fast, and grabs the animal in its paws and wrestles it to the ground. It sinks its teeth into
the animal’s neck to kill it. The tiger then drags the dead animal to a hiding place. The tiger will eat
for two or three days until the meat is gone. On average, a tiger must kill once every eight days to
avoid starving. Even though tigers are built to hunt, they are only successful in 1 out of 10 or 20
hunts!
Tigers roar to scare other tigers away. A tiger’s roar tells other tigers to keep out of its
hunting ground. Tigers also use smells and scratch marks to mark their territory.
40. Which statement is true about tiger?
A. Tigers are tame animals.
B. Tigers hunt their prey in group.
C. Tigers roar to frighten people away.

is known as the biggest turtle habitats in Southeast Asia.
Every night, around fifty green turtles make way onto this beach to lay their eggs. Their footprints
and the shell of eggs that have hatched can be found everywhere.
Sangakali also has a semi-natural hatchery. Eggs that are in danger are moved to the hatchery by
the
staff because they are too close to the edge of the beach. These eggs are then left to hatch naturally.
Sangalaki is also one of the biggest habitats of the manta ray. Seeing these creatures up close in the
sea is a favourite attraction for divers. These wide-winged swimmers usually travel in group and when a
shoal approaches, it looks like an attack by a fleet of spaceships from a science fiction movie!

A Trip to Bima Last year, I got a chance to join to student exchange program to Bima Regency, Nusa Tenggara
Barat. I flew with other students. We were all from Central Java. We arrived at Bima’s airport at two in the afternoon by Merpati airlines. I had never been on a
plane before, so it was an exciting experience. When we arrived, a boy named Fahriel had been waiting for us. His friendly father accompanied him. Then we continued our journey to Fahriel’s village. The name of the village was Sape. Sape was a busy village on the tip of the island. I stayed for the whole month in Fahriel’s house.
During the visit, I had diferent activities every day . in the morning, I came to Fahriel’s school and joined the school activities, but in the afternoon my activities varied.
For the first week, I went to beaches. Bima has the most beatiful beaches that I had ever seen. They are clean and have white sand. We did not have to pay any tickets to enter the beaches. It was free.
In the second week, I joined the camping activities. It was great fun. Besides having scout activities, we also had dancing and singing performance. Our team performed ‘poco-poco’ dance and won the second prize.
We planned to go to the komodo Island in the third week. It was just 6 hours trip by special ship. We had prepared everyting. We even had booked the ship. However, we should cancel the plan because of the weather. It was rainy and windy. The waves on the sea were big.
Our last week there was spent by watching a horse race, catching fish in a karamba, and learning how to weave Bimanese traditional cloth.
Though I just spent a month in Bima, I felt in love with its beauty of nature and unique customs.
Giring Ganesha Giring Ganesha is a vocalist of a band group called Nidji. He was born in Jakarta, on July 14
th,
1983. Because of his activites in Nidji, many people call him Giring Nidji. Like most of Indonesian people, Giring doesn’t have a fair skin. He has medium height, about
170 cm tall. He has a pointed nose and big eyes. His smile is very nice, but the most remarkable thing about his performance is hir hair. He has curly hair. He keeps his curly hair long. Of course, it does not go down. It goes up and covers his head like a soft black ball.
Giring and his other fellows in Nidji are very busy. They work in the music studios to record their albums. They also go on tours.
They make performance during the tours. They have to cover a long journey to do the tour. Before the tours begin, they do rehearsal almost every day. In every tour, Giring’s performance is always attractive. He runs here and there on the stage. He makes the show alive. Just now, Giring was chosen as a dubber in children films.

From Monkey Boy to Choir Boy John Ssebunya is a boy from Uganda. He is a shy boy and speaks slowly. This might be caused by
what happened in his life. When John was two years old, Uganda was in war. His mother was killed in the war and his father
was nowhere to find. John was all alone and would surely have died if a colony of green monkey had not adobted. He lived with them for three years. He learnt their mannerisms. He became adaptable to climbing trees, and he ate fruits, nuts, and berries for the next three years.
In 1991, a local woman saw him scavenging for food with chimps and reported it to the people in her village. The people then caught him. It was not an easy job because the monkeys put up a ferccious fight to prevent the people from taking him away.
The boy was then taken to an orphanage. There, he learnt how to behave and speak in human ways. As he was able to utter his first word, it was discovered that he had a beatiful voice when he sang a song. John Ssebunya has now joined a 20-strong Pearl of Africa children’s choir and has made many tours to different countries.
A goup of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they said, “The pit is very deep. It’s difficult to climb up. You’d better die in the pit.”
The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit again and again. The other frogs kept telling them to stop because they believed it was impossible to jump out of the deep pit. Finally, one of the frogs took heed (=listen)to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died.

How to treat Bee Sting 1. safety first! Bees release a scent when in danger to attract other bees, if you’re still around when
reinforcements, get there and they’ll sting you. 2. remove any stingers immediatey! No need to scrape off bee stingers, just remove them. It’s OK to
pull stingers out with your fingers; brush them off or get them out any way you can. The longer bee stingers are allowed to remain in the body, the more severe the reaction will bee.
3. Victims usually develop local reactions to bee stings. Redness, swelling, and pain are all common at the site of the bee sting. The pain will usually go away pretty quickly but swelling may last for more than a day. Use an ice pack to reduce swelling at the site. It’s common to develop some itching at the bee sting site. antihistamines or calamine lotion should help.
4. Take the victim to emergency department if the victim has been stung more than 10 times, or if there are bee stings inside the nose, mouth, of throat. Swelling from these stings can cause shortness of breath.
5. Use ibuprofen or Acetamninofem for minor pain relief. For tenderness at the site, try a bee-sting swab to dull the pain. You can also use an ice pack to help with swelling. Put a cloth towel between the ice and the skin and do not let the ice stay on the skin for longer than 20 minutes. Letting ice sit directly on the skin or keeping ice on too long can result in frostbite from the ice park.
