Surely Allah has conferred favour on the believers that He sent
a Rasool (Messenger of Allah) from amongst them who recites
to them His Verses and purifes them and teaches them the Book
and the wisdom. And previous to that they were clearly in error.
(Al-e-Imran -164)
What actions are most excellent? To gladden the heart of
human beings, to feed the hungry, to help the aficted, to
lighten the sorrow of the sorrowful and to remove the suferings
of the injured.

And Her Death Remains a Mystery for us All.
On 26th January 2001 it was a cold, whizzy day. Elizabeth
Tarky, my best friend and I went to Turkey for a short trip.
Those days Turkey was not a peaceful country. We went to
visit a mountain known as Cleo means death. I called my
other friends there because we wanted to see why it was
called that. Was there a special thing or not. We took a taxi
and reached there. When we were walking towards the
mountain. I looked back and oh my God! Elisabeth was not
there. At frst I thought that she was playing a joke with us.
We started calling her. We searched her everywhere. Police
came on time. After a lot of searching we found her dead
body. We took her and went to the hospital and we were told
that she was expired. All the friends were astonished how
our friend Elizabeth died. Bakhtawar exclaimed that she was
spelled. Areeha said that she might have eaten poison. And
now we were sure that why it was called Cleo. The mountain
of the death. She was our best friend, loyal, honest and kind.
We could never understand the reason of her death and her
death remained a mystery for us all.
(Hamna Tariq: Class six)
I Made a Mistake by telling him my Secret.
I had fve friends. Their names were Shazuka, Nobita Jian,
Sunyo and Doroeamon. My name is DagySogi. Shazuka is my
best friend. I told this to Nobita. Daily we used to play table
tennis. Nobita was a jealous person. Suddenly he became
jealous to see me and Shazuka together. He got red with
anger. Nobita was sort of a person who always took help
from others and didnt do anything on his own. I thought
that Nobita was an innocent person and I went to his home
and told him that I liked Shazuka. After listening to my story,
Nobita teased me that he would tell the whole story to all
of my friends. I was worried that what would be the reaction
of my friends. I thought that I should make Nobita my best
friend forever. When I told him that he was the worlds best
friend, he said he would keep my secret. I was very happy
that now my secret was safe. My secret would not be told to
anyone.

Water The Basic Need
Water is a basic need in our life. Water is used for drinking.
Water is very important for our life. Without water we cannot
live. More than half of the earth surface consists of water.
Water is also important for sea animals and fsh. They cannot
live without water also.
Water Drought in Sindh:
Water drought has spreaded in interior Sindh and the people,
animals are dying for water.
Water Inhuman food:
More than 120 people are confrmed to have died in fash
foods which have hit north eastern Iran. In GonbadKavus,
tearful relatives and rescue workers deposited bodies in a
food freezer turned into a makeshift morgue.
Global Warming The Disadvantages:
There are numerous disadvantages of global warming
including ocean circulation disruption which afects world
climate. It also leads to higher sea level that result to fooding
of low-lying lands and hence deaths and disease from
food along with evacuation. Global warming also leads to
desertifcation. One major efect is the increased loss of our
polar ice caps, leading to rising sea levels and land loss. Other
efect of global warming is the increase and severity of storm.
Disadvantages of River-Besides Flooding and its Efects:
People are the worse use rivers as a dumping ground to
dump oil, paint, river valleys have old sofas, stoves etc. Farm
animals urinate and defecate in rivers all of these types
of activities lead to high pollution perhaps a foal aroma
in some areas. Some rivers, depending on location, will
have dangerous in habitants such as gators or crocks, some
piranha, huge snakes etc. Rivers bring on mosquitoes. If in
colder climate river begin to freeze and people and pet walk
on ice but ice is not strong yet Fall through. After winter
in early spring when ice fows we should keep children away
because of danger.

Describe a Busy - Eating Place
Since 10 years I have been visiting this busy eating place
star-buks. It is situated in USA. I think its the best place to eat
or drink with friends and with family or even when you are
alone. Star buks is not a place to have lunch or dinner. Mainly
its a caf shop. There, the service is very fast. From outside its
green and red and in some places its just a counter where we
order. That whole counter is full of crowd always. Its a busy
place with perfect service and food. They serve cofee in any
cup we want. The interior is full with funny and interesting
quotes.
Star buks is a caf where everybody likes to come, because
of its taste. Many visitors, tourist and cofee lovers visit this
place. Businessmen, employees, employers or people of many
cultures visit there. It is caf with old and creepy look. Its a
busy eating place because its very old place and have many
things to choose. Some busy and professional peoples also
eat breakfast there in. Its a very excellent and considerable
place.

The Strangest Taxi Ride I Ever Had
Once, I had a quarrel with my friend at a sleepover at her
place and I was returning back to home in anger. The
light was fading as I made my way down the road, when
an ancient cab passed at a stately pace. I hailed it and the
driver stamped out on the footbrake, juddering to a halt
in the middle of the road. He kept the engine running as I
noticed. I climbed in and we drove gently into the town, but
it was not the route we should have been talking to reach my
home. I told him the location and he explained that since
long distance trip it was about 8 kilometers so frst we would
have to get sufcient petrol for the journey. This proved a bit
of the problem. We chased around several locations, atleast
we found a man who gave us some fuel from a petrol can.
Half way along we got stuck behind a car moving very slowly.
He was unable to change down from third and we staked.
We were stuck in the middle of the road. The driver seemed

unconcerned. He switched of the head lights, folded his arm
and just sat there in the middle of the road, saying nothing.
I asked him, he explained that let the road be cleared. I was
so frustrated by that old taxi and his driver. I tried to move
out but he stopped me, and turned the car to the shortcut.
I was surprised that road was totally damaged and scared
because it was very dark outside. So, we moved through the
shortcut. I opened the window and heard diferent noises. I
saw only some guys there holding knives. They were strange
so, I suddenly closed the window. Abruptly, I was so relieved
when the driver told me this was the fnal mile and I would be
reaching home soon.
(Mahnoor Rasheed: Class Nine)
The Happiest and Worst Day of My Life
When I was eleven, I played a badminton match. The other
team was better but we tried harder. Right at the end, I scored
a goal and we won the match. It was the happiest day of my
life.
One day, I got lost in Metro cash and carry. I could not fnd my
parents. They found me fve minutes later. It was a very hot
day and I was tried. It was the worst day of my life
(Omer Zahid : Class Four)
Life in the Future
In future everybody should learn to use computers. The
children should also learn to type. Everybody will need to
study Math and Science at school. In future, everybody
should protect all kind of wildlife. In addition, we ought to
protect the forests. We also need to keep the environment
and rivers clean. In future everybody should have free
medicine and health care. Also, we ought to look-after blind
and disabled people better. In future we shall need to build
up-to-date hospitals.
(Ammara Ali: Class Five)
Orangutan in trouble
Orangutan means person of the forest. Not everyone
realizes that the Orangutans are the only great apes outside
Africa. They live on the island of Borneo and Sumatra. The
population has fallen in the past hundred years for many
reasons. Firstly, many of the forests are cut down every
year. Secondly poachers shoot orangutan for their meat.
In addition, poachers catch and sell orangutans for pets.
However, the WWF has tried to protect orangutans since
1962. It has helped to set up reserves in some countries.
In other countries, on the other hand, governments dont
protect the forest or the orangutans. Therefore, the WWF
should continue to protect orangutans.
(Afnan Rasool: Class Five)
An Unsuccessful Shopping Trip
I was taking hot frothy cup of cofee on my campo coach
and then all of a sudden my door bell rang ting, tong. I
unwillingly stood up by placing my cup on the centre table.
I moved towards the door and opened it with the forums
on my forehead Where were you dude? My best friend Ali
shouted. Suddenly my angry mode turned into excitement.
Then we both dropped ourselves on four cousin. We took
cofee and he said I am going to do shopping in mall, do you
want to come with me? I said, yes, we will go after 1:00 pm.
We went for shopping. I was driving the car. Suddenly a car
came from service lane, it was out of control. That car hit ours
in the left door and my car went up side down and started
to roll on the highway. Then our car got in the big tree and
stopped. After that many people were standing around us.
An Ambulance came and took us. When our eyes opened we
were in hospital and we were covered with bandages. We
were worried. Then doctor came in our room we asked what
happened to us. We told our story. After some days we went
to home. Thank Allah we were alive though our shopping trip
remained unsuccessful.

If I were a friendly dinosaur, I would . . . . . .

dinosaurs. I would help the dinosaurs. I would listen to their
problems and solve them all. When it would be night the
