(Late at night, some animals are talking about Mr. Jones, the owner of
the farm.)
Ida the Cow: Mr. Jones is mean to us. He makes us work day and night
and seldom lets us take a break. Horses, how many hours
a day do you work?
Rio the Horse: Over ten hours. We work hard, but Mr. Jones doesn't
treat us well. He never shares fruit with us. We are thin
and weak.

Mr. Jones is bad to us. Our house is small and dirty,
and we live a hard life.

Rio the Horse: All right.

Eddie the Pig: Wait. Everyone, please listen to me. Why don't we fight
for our rights in a different way?
Ida the Cow: How?

Eddie the Pig: The law protects everyone, so we can report Mr. Jones to
the Labor Department. They'll have him improve our lives.
Ida the Cow: We'll need a lawyer, but we don't have money for that.

This story is sad. The chocolate companies behind the cocoa farms

need to stop using child labor. Now, more and more people are fighting

for the children's rights because they need help. Some choose not to

buy chocolate from these companies, and others tell the children's

stories. Let's join them and make a change.

India is the world's seventh largest country and has the world's largest
population. Its population is growing, but it doesn't have enough medical
services. People in big cities can go to the doctor easily when they have a
health problem, but people in some other parts of the country are not so
lucky. They need to travel a long way to find a hospital. To fix this problem,
three organizations worked together and changed an ordinary train into a
hospital train. They called it the Lifeline Express.

67
Unit 3
 The Lifeline Express travels all over India and provides medical services.
It usually stays at a place for 21 to 25 days and then heads for another place.
People can do a health check, see a doctor, and even have an operation on
the train for free. What's more, the Lifeline Express also offers people medical
training and education. This helps them become helpers after the train leaves.

The Lifeline Express started running on July 16, 1991 and is still in service.
When people can't find a hospital, the hospital goes to them. Thanks to the
hospital train, many people in India can live a healthier life now.
