want to stop. But it did not dampen our spirits. My cousin and I went to the market to buy fireworks. We
bought quite a lot of fireworks on that day to brighten our big event. After getting fireworks, we helped

prepared chicken and its seasoning to roast tonight.
Precisely at 18.00 everything we need was ready. We were just waiting for 22.00 o'clock. We

together; each of us had to sing a song. My uncle who was good at singing did not want to miss to entertain
us. At 22:00 we started to prepare the food. My father, uncle, cousin and I prepared the chicken to be
grilled, while my mother, aunt and sister prepared rice, side dishes and drinks. After the chicken was
cooked, we had our meal on 23.30. We were so happy.
At 23:50, we were ready to light the fireworks. Precisely at 24.00 o'clock, we immediately set off

If you happen to lift a telescope to the sky at dusk, train it on the moon. The magnification of the moon
will reveal craters and other irregularities on its surface.
The irregularities are the result of external menaces-comets, meteorites and stray asteroids which can
be found in abundance in space. Occasionally, the moon may across the path of these celestial wanderers-and
there will be collisions. Most of the time, these unwelcomed travelers are smaller than the moon and will be
consumed in the heat generated.
Traces of such fateful meetings will be recorded as the irregularities we have become so familiar with.
Such collisions are, however, not frequent on earth. This partly due to the fact all these space debris that
wander close to our planet will be burnt up even before they reach the surface of earth.

The tiger (Panthera tigris) is the largest cat species, reaching a total body length of up to
3.38 m (11.1 ft) over curves and exceptionally weighing up to 388.7 kg (857 lbs) in the wild. Its
most recognizable feature is a pattern of dark vertical stripes on reddish-orange fur with a lighter
underside. The species is classified in the genus Panthera with the lion, leopard, jaguar and snow
leopard. Tigers are apex predators, primarily preying on deer and bovines. They are territorial and
generally solitary but social animals, often requiring large contiguous areas of habitat that support
their prey requirements. This, coupled with the fact that they are indigenous to some of the more
densely populated places on Earth, has caused significant conflicts with humans.
Tigers once ranged widely across Asia, from Turkey in the west to the eastern coast of
