 Read the story below and answer questions 21 to 33

It was break time at Phatsimo Primary School. Everyone was running

about and having fun. Suddenly, the children started shouting. They
were in the middle of a very strong wind. The wind was making
dust spin around the air. The children ran to hide in the
classrooms.As quickly as it had come, the wind moved on. The
children looked around the playground, there was rubbish
everywhere. This rubbish was composed of bits of paper, plastic
bags, grass and even an old bucket.

One of the teachers called Mrs Maswabi blew a whistle.The children stood
still, it was a sign for them to go to the assembly area. Mrs Maswabi
announced at the assembly area that the playground was dirty and that they
were to pick up all rubbish at once. The children began picking up the
rubbish. This was very tiring and some of the Children grumbled. “It is not
our fault that there is rubbish all over the playground,” said Lesego, one of
the pupils as she bent to pick up a piece of paper

The paper that Lesego picked looked strange. It was small and brightly coloured
and it had some writing on it. After all the rubbish was picked up, Lesego’s friends
looked at the piece of paper she had found. They decided to take it to their
teacher Mrs Maswabi who told them that it was a very valuable stamp. The stamp
was reported missing from the post office.

After lunch, Mrs Maswabi and Lesego took the stamp to the post
office. They went into an office which was covered with stamps on
the wall. They met Mr Morake , who works in the post office .He
said that he was very happy to meet Lesego because she had
found the rare stamp.

At school the next day, Lesego was doing her maths homework when she was called to Mrs
Maswabi’s office. Mr Morake had come to thank Lesego for finding the stamp. He invited Lesego
and her classmates to come to the post office and look at all the interesting stamps.
