SEAHORSE

Just like a fish, a seahorse has a skeleton, gills and fins. Unlike other fish, however, it does not have scales. Its body is covered with bony plates of ‘armor’. This heavy ‘armor’ makes it hard for the seahorse to swim.
A seahorse spends much of its time resting among the sea plants. It uses its prehensile tail to anchor itself to the plants. When microscopic sea animals swim by, the seahorse quickly sucks them up with its long snout.
Seahorses are clever at camouflaging themselves. They come in many colors. They can be brown, red, yellow, black, grey, or white. They can also change their colors in the blink of an eye. This makes it hard for the enemies like birds and crabs to see them.
The most unusual thing about seahorses though, is that male seahorses give birth! The male seahorse has a pouch below his belly. The female places 150 to 200 eggs in this pouch. The male will then fertilize the eggs. He keeps them safe until they become they become fully-formed baby seahorses. Baby seahorses must look after themselves as soon as they are born.
In many parts of the world, seahorses face danger. Pollution destroys their homes. People in some Asian countries capture seahorses to make medicines. In North America, many people like to catch seahorse and keep them in aquarium as pets. Nowadays, there are seahorse ‘farms’ which provide lots of seahorses for those who want to keep the seahorses as their pets.

The Spider and the Swallow

A spider lived happily, weaving his web and catching insects for food. One day he saw a swallow flying and catching worms on the trees. He was frustrated. He wanted to be the swallow.

Up the Mountain We Go

Last month, my family took a camping trip to the mountains. We went hiking and cycling every morning.
At night, we usually built a fire. I had to keep the fire burning. We could sit around it and sing until midnight. One night, while my mother was telling a ghost story, we heard a strange sound. We went out to see what it was. We saw a wild boar eating our food supplies. The boar ran away and disappeared into the wood. We laughed when we saw that the boar was afraid of us.
On the last day, a bad thing happened, my brother, Luki, tripped on a hidden log and hurt his foot. We took him to the nearest hospital. The doctor said that the injury was not too bad. He just had to go to the doctor for more therapy in a couple of days. We went home happily.
