stuff. Additionally, in this multimedia era, students need more to reach their
progressive development. Students need mobile keyboards to record every presented
subject easily. Of course it will need more cost but it will deserve for its function.

The Boy Who Cried Wolf
There was once a young shepherd boy who tended his sheep at the foot
of a mountain near a dark forest. 1 It was lonely for him watching the
sheep all day. No one was near, except for three farmers he could
sometimessee working in the fi elds in the valley below.
One day the boy thought of a plan that would help him get a little
company and have some fun. 3 He ran down toward the valley crying,
“Wolf!Wolf!”
The men ran to meet him, and after they found out there was no wolf
after all, one man remained to talk with the boy awhile.
The boy enjoyed the company so much that a few days later he tried the
same prank again, and again the men ran to help him.
A few days later, a real wolf came from the forest and began to steal the
sheep. The startled 6 boy ran toward the valley, and more loudly than
ever he cried, “Wolf!Wolf!”
But the men, who had been fooled twice before, thought that the boy
was tricking them again. So no one came to help the boy save his
sheep.

Penguins
Penguins are a group of flightless aquatic birds living almost exclusively in
the Southern Hemisphere, particularly in Antarctica. Highly adaptive to live in the sea,
penguins have countershaded dark and white feather, and their wings have evolved
into flippers. Most penguins feed squid, fish, and other forms of sealife caught while
they are swimming underwater. They spend about half of their lives in the oceans.
Eventhough all penguin species are native to the Southern Hemisphere, they
don not live only in cold climates, such as Antarctica. In fact, only a little species of
penguin live too far south. Some species are found in the temperate area, and one
species, the Galápagos penguin, lives not too far with the equator.
The vast living species is the emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri): when
they are adults they are about 1.1 m (3 ft 7 in) tall and 35 kg weight or more. The
smallest one is the little blue penguin (Eudyptula minor), which is known as the fairy
penguin, which stands around 40 cm height and 1 kg weight. Among the species of
penguin, larger penguins live in colder regions, while smaller penguins generally
inhabit tropical climates places. Some prehistoric species of penguin attained
enormous sizes, becoming as heavy as an adult human.
