Dear Editor,

My family and I recently visited the National Zoo. To our dismay.

the animals were poorly fed and suffering from diseases. This situation
could be avoided if they were given proper care and diet. Another issue
is the hygiene of the zoo. From the cages to the open areas, visitors
and animals have to endure a filthy environment. This is a disgrace
considering that we are making efforts to promote tourism.

Questions 26 - 31 are based on the following passage.

(Helen, the writer, who lives in the United States of America, describes her
friendship
with a tiny hummingbird that she found.)

The thrill of seeing the first hummingbird in my garden has never left me the sight of
-
this unbelievably tiny creature with striking feathers flitting boldly from flower to flower.
To attract other birds, I began growing their favourite plants. Soon, more hummingbirds
began visiting my garden from May through late September, before departing for countries
with warmer climates. In 1998, the last one left on October 3 - or so I thought. 5

On October 21, I went outdoors for my early morning chores. Suddenly, I saw a young
male hummingbird. I couldn't believe my eyes as I thought these birds should have migrated
by then. I quickly looked around the garden as hummingbirds usually need to feed once
every ten to fifteen minutes and my garden was bare. This bird would have nothing to eat
so I hung out a feeder containing liquid nectar. However, the bird didn't seem to know what 10
to do with it and kept circling a particular spot. Finally, I placed a trall of plants leading
to my conservatory, z special room where I grew my flowers. When the hummingbird came
inside, I closed the door behind him to keep him safe and then set up another feeder.
The bird went from flower to flower before he discovered the feeder. He liked the nectar
and fed on it for the rest of the day. 15

Although I loved the idea of a hummingbird spending the winter in my conservatory,

I hesitated to take away his freedom. But I also didn't want him to die. So I called
an ornithologist, an expert on birds, for advice. He warned me that this bird was probably
not going to live and gave me three choices: I could keep the bird all winter, or I could fatten
him up and let him go after a few days, or I could find someone to release him down south 20
where it was warrner. I reasoned that if the bird had nothing outside to eat that day, the next
day wouldn't be any better. And sending him south was not practical. However, I could
provide suitable living conditions to keep him warm in my conservatory. I named him Squeak
because of his constant squeaky chirping.

Offering Squeak a balanced diet now became my main concern. Besides nectal 25
hummingbirds need protein from insects. The ornithologist then suggested Nektar-Plus.
I kept two feeders of this complete diet going at all times. As hummingbirds love to bathe,
I also bought a small plastic bird bath for Squeak. But he had different plans as bath time
was always a game to him. He would rather slide around on the wet leaves and get his entire
www.myschoolchildren.com

body soaked. After bathing, he would fly around the room to dry himself. Once when 30
he became sick, I had to nurse him back to health.

As winter turned to spring, we had strengthened our friendship. Hoping that he would
make my garden his territory I gave him a special treat.I filled a feeder with a particularly
sweet solution and held it in my hand. After just one taste, Squeak loved it. He began
watching for me and waiting eagerly by the door handle for this treat. By then, he would even 35
allow me to stroke him. I began to spend more time with him.

lll9l2 o 20ll Hak cipta Kerajaan Malaysia SULIT

SULIT 11 1tt9t2
In early May, the other hummingbirds returned and when Squeak spotted them outside,
he became excited, chattering and flying rapidly to and fro. One day, I saw him and another
hummingbird hovering beak to beak with the window between them and I knew then what
had to be done. As much as I loved having Squeak, I realised that I had to let him go.40
That morning, as usual, Squeak had a shower after which I opened the door in the
conseryatory. I then coaxed him with a treat in my hand. He came over for a sip, then flew
back inside. He did rt agarn and again. Each time I moved farther away and after much
coaxing, he finally came all the way out to where I was. He took a drink, then inspected
a plant hanging on the porch. Suddenly he lifted up, flew over the roof of the house and 45
-
was gone. My eyes filled with tears. I was sorry for releasing him - yet I also knew
it was for the best.

their limbs marked by scratches
their legs full of wounds

there was not a sign of despair

The whole day and night just passed

they had to brave the horrendous flood
in the water all the time
between bloated carcasses
and tiny chips of tree barks
desperately looking for their son's
albino buffalo that was never found

They were born amidst hardship

and grew up without a sigh or a complaint
now they are in the kitchen, making
jokes while rolling their cigarette leaves
