One of the most interesting carnivorous plants is the Venus Flytrap. The Venus Flytrap has
hinged leaves that open and shut. The leaves look like jaw when they are open. The ends of
the leaves have short, stiff hairs on them. Inside the leaves is a sweet –smelling nectar insect
to drink. They are attracted by the nice smell. The plant waits patiently while the insect
moves toward it. When it touches the hairs on the leaves, the leaves snap shut in less than a
second, trapping the insect inside. It doesn’t close all the way at first, allowing very small
insect to escape.

Digestive juices dissolve the soft parts of the insect. About a week later, all that is left of the
poor insect is the hard outer part. The leaves open and what is left blow away in the wind or
washes away in the rain. A pair of flytrap leaves die after about four meals. If an object that

I have a new member in my family. It is a cat. I call it “Ginger”

Ginger has soft white fur and likes to click its paws. It is also very curious and likes to
explore its new surroundings. It seems to like milk and fish a lot and waits eagerly as I
prepare its meal. Besides, the cat that my father took from the road is very important for me.
It gives me some lessons about ‘cat talk’. When it is near me it always purrs. This expresses
its friendship with me. When I do my homework it often bumps its head with mine. I know
this is the way to say hello. When it is curious, it sticks its whiskers straight out and twitches
with excitement. Sometimes it approaches something carefully with ears pricked forward.
This shows its alert. When it stalks a bird under the banyan tree beside my house, it waves its
tail. This shows that it is trying to make up its mind whether to creep or pounce. As soon as it
has made up its mind the waving usually stops.

Of course, I sometimes get angry with Ginger. When it feels threatened it hisses and spits. It
thrashes its tail and shows its fangs. Its ears lie flat and its eyes dilate.

Ginger seems to like me a lot. I know this because it always follows me wherever I go. I
thank God for giving me such nice cat.

The Sahara Desert is the largest desert in the world. It is bigger than the four
next largest deserts put together. It is as vast as the whole of the United
States of America including most of Alaska and nearly as big as the whole of
Europe.

The Sahara desert was once green with trees and plants. Giraffes, elephants,
and rhinos wandered across it. We know this because they are shown in rock
paintings found in south-east Algeria, drawn thousands of years ago.
Even as recently as the 1820s a French explorer heard lions roaring in the
forest where now there is only desert. The world’s deserts are growing bigger.

Snakes are reptiles. They belong to the same group as lizards (the scaled
group, Squamata) but form a sub-group of their own (Serpentes)

Snakes have two legs but a 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 slither along the ground.

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,
lizards, and mice and other snakes. The Anaconda can eat small crocodile
and even wild boards.
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. The flying snakes glided away from danger. Their ribs spread
apart and the skin stretches out. Its technique is just like sugar gliders.
