Meet the Animals

• Giraffe: has a long neck and a spotted coat; eats leaves from tall trees.
• Elephant: big and gray; uses its trunk to spray water on its body.
• Bear: thick fur and sharp claws; catches fish.
• Monkey: small with a long tail; climbs trees.
• Zebra: striped coat; runs in groups.
• Lion: yellow fur; often hunts at night and sleeps during the day.

In "A Day at the Forest Park," Nadia's dad works as a forest guide. Visitors see elephants drinking water, monkeys climbing trees, lions, and giraffes.

Taking Care of Animals

Vets and forest officers help animals stay healthy and safe.

• Elephants need bigger spaces than monkeys. Pets need daily care and exercise from their owners.
• Wild animals face problems: their homes get smaller because of new cities, and they need clean water and safe places to live.
• Vets check animals' health, owners care for pets, and forest officers protect animals and their homes.
• Small acts of kindness make the world better.

Language in Use: Comparative Adjectives

We use comparatives to compare two things.

• Short adjective + -er: clean → cleaner. A zebra is smaller than a giraffe.
• One vowel + one consonant: double the consonant: big → bigger.
• Ends in -e: add -r: safe → safer.
• Consonant + y: change y to i and add -er: healthy → healthier. We use than after the comparative: Bears are bigger than dogs.

Story Time: The Old Lion and the Fox

An old lion is too weak to hunt. He pretends to be sick in his cave and asks the animals to visit. They go in but never come out because the lion catches them. A wise fox sees many footprints going in but none coming out, so he refuses to enter and runs away safely. Moral: learn from the mistakes of others.

Pronunciation

Blends join two sounds: fr (frown, fruit), dr (draw, drum), pl (plant, plane).

Writing: A Research Report on Endangered Animals

• Endangered animals may disappear forever. The Arabian Leopard has fewer than 200 left in the wild because people build houses in its habitat. The Red Sea Dugong eats sea grass and is in danger because of pollution and fishing nets.
• We can help: protect their homes, stop pollution, create safe areas, and teach people.
• A good report has: a clear title, introduction, facts and information, examples, solutions, and conclusion.
• A collage is an artwork made by cutting and pasting photos and paper.
