CLEOPATRA

Cleopatra was legendary. She was famous not only for her breathtaking beauty
but also for her great intellect. She had brown eyes and they were shaped like
cat eyes. Her skin was in fact an olive shade, darker than Hollywood actress Liz
Taylor who potrayed her in the film 'Cleopatra' in 1963. She had medium dark
brown hair, about to the middle of her shoulder blades. She had a reputation as
an extraordinarily sensuous woman.
Cleopatra was a woman of remarkable poise and unusual intelligence. She was
highly educated. She spoke proficiently in nine languages and also skilled in
mathematics. She is often considered to be a stunning seductress though she
was studying to be a nun. Cleopatra was a very intelligent queen and a politician
with a great charisma.

Mangrove Trees

A mangrove is a tropical marine tree. Mangroves have special aerial roots

and salt-filtering tap roots which enable them to thrive in brackish water.
Brackish water is salty but not as salty as sea water. Mangrove trees are
commonly planted and found in coastal areas. Mangroves can serve as
walls of protection for natural disaster in coastal area liketsunami.

According to BBC News, healthy mangrove forests had helped save lives in
the Asia disaster tsunami and people tended to respect these natural
barriers even more, especially after the tsunami.
There are several species of mangrove tree found all over the world.

CAMPING
Last weekend, my friends and I went camping. We reached the camping
ground after we walked for about one and a half hour from the parking lot.
We built the camp next to a small river. It was getting darker and colder,
so
we
built
a
fire
camp.
The next day, we spent our time observing plantation and insects while
the girls were preparing meals. In the afternoon we went to the river and
caught some fish for supper. At night, we held a fire camp night. We sang,
danced, read poetry, played magic tricks, and even some of us performed
a standing comedy.

On Monday, we packed our bags and got ready to go home.

The Smartest Parrot

Once upon time, a man had a beautiful parrot. There was no other parrot
like it. The parrot could say every word, except one word. The parrot
would not say the name of the place where it was born. The name of the
place was Catano.

The man felt excited having the neatest parrot however he could not
understand why the parrot would not say Catano. The person tried to
teach the hen to say Catano however the fowl saved not saying the word.
At the first, the person was very good to the chicken but then he got very
angry. "You silly fowl!" pointed the person to the parrot. "Why can't you
say the phrase? Say Catano! Or I will kill you" the man said angrily.
Although he tried onerous to teach, the parrot wouldn't say it. Then the
person received so angry and shouted to the bird again and again; "Say
Catano or I'll kill you". The bird kept to not say the phrase of Catano.
Someday, after he had been attempting so many times to make the hen
say Catano, the person really bought very angry. He could not bear it. He
picked the parrot and threw it into the hen house. There were 4 outdated
chickens for subsequent dinner "You might be as stupid as the chickens.
Just stay with them" Stated the man angrily. Then he continued to humble;
"You understand, I will cut the chicken for my meal. Subsequent it is going
to be your flip, I will eat you too, silly parrot". After that he left the hen
house.
The subsequent day, the man came again to the rooster house. He
opened the door and was very surprised. He couldn't imagine what he
noticed on the hen house. There were three loss of life chickens on the
floor. At the moment, the parrot was standing proudly and screaming on
the final outdated hen; "Say Catano or I'll kill you".
