The
Rats and the Elephants
Once upon a time their lived a group
of mice under a tree in peace. However, a group of elephants crossing the
jungle unknowingly destroyed the homes of all the rats. Many of them were even
crushed to death.
Then taking of rats decided to
approach the elephant's chief and request him to guide his herd through another
route. On hearing the sad story, the elephant's king apologized and agreed to
take another route. And so the lives of the rats were saved.
One day elephant-hunters came to the
jungle and trapped a group of elephants in huge nets. Then the elephant king
suddenly remembered the king of the rats. He summoned on of the elephants of
his herd, which had not been trapped, to go seek help from the king and told

The rat's king immediately took his
entire group of rats and they cut open the nets which had trapped the elephant’s
herd. The elephant herd was totally set free. They danced with joy and thank

Mobiles: Good
or bad?
Everywhere you
go nowadays, you see people using mobiles. From school children to retired
people, you see them talking in the supermarkets, on trains, in the street,
everywhere! So what are the advantages of mobiles?
First of all they are very convenient
because you can phone from nearly anywhere. Another advantage is that they are
really useful in emergency situations. For example, if you are alone in your
car and it breaks down, you can get help quickly. In addition, you can also use
your mobile to text your friends or connect to the internet.
However, there are disadvantages such as
the cost. Some mobiles calls still cost more than normal calls. Furthermore, it
can be annoying if you are on a train or a bus and you have to listen to
someone else’s boring conversation. Another disadvantage is that people can
contact you anywhere, at any time, unless you switch your phone off!
In conclusion, there are both advantages
and disadvantages to mobiles. Personally I feel mobiles are a good thing
because they give us more freedom and make communication easier.
