Many years ago, a young Sultan lived here in a palace. The Sultan was a

palace. The Sultan ran out into the forest. The wicked men chased him. Suddenly,
he saw a bush. It was beside a tall tree. He hid in the bush.
The wicked men came close to the tree. Suddenly one of them said, “Hey,
look at those big, juicy mangoes on the tree! Let’s eat them.”
The men climbed the tree. Each man picked a large mango and ate it.
“How juicy these mangoes are!” they said.
Suddenly, each man fell to the ground. The Sultan came out from behind the
bush. He looked at the men on the ground. They were dead. Then he looked up at
the tall tree. There were no mangoes on the tree!
“This is a magic tree,” said the Sultan. “It saved my life!”

From nose to tail, T-rex was as long as a school bus. It was taller than a
house. It weighed more than an airplane. T-rex’s head was as long as a kitchen
table.
T-rex was one of the biggest meat-eating dinosaurs. It could eat hundreds of
pounds of meat in one bite. Animals that eat meat have sharp teeth. T-rex had 60 of
them! Some of the teeth were as big as bananas. When the T-rex lost a tooth, it
grew a new one.
T-rex stood on two powerful legs. It also had two small arms. Its strong tail
kept it from falling over.

Read the passage below carefully and answer the questions that follow.
The Bee
Bees live in a house that is called a hive. There are three kinds of bees:
workers, drones, and queens. Only one queen bee can live in each hive. If she is lost
or dead, the other bees will stop their work.
Bees are very wise and busy little creatures. They all join together to build
cells of wax for their honey. Each bee takes its proper place, and does its own work.
Some go out and gather honey from the flowers; others stay at home and work
inside the hive.
The cells which they build, are all of one shape and size, and no room is left
between them. The cells are not round, but have six sides.
Did you ever look into a glass hive to see the bees while at work? It is
pleasant to see how busy they always are. But the drones do not work. Before winter
comes, all the drones are driven from the hive so that they may not eat the honey
which they did not gather.
It is not quite safe for children to handle bees. They have sharp stings that
they use in their defense.

I went to so many schools that it is hard for me to remember a lot. But
there is one year that sticks out in my mind with vivid details; Year 3 in Bunga Raya
Primary School in Kuala Sungkai. My teacher’s name was Miss Susi and I adored
her. She made me feel smart and special and even then was such a huge influence
in my love of reading. I was 9 years old but she made me feel like one of the
smartest people alive. I was never sadder to move on to the next year. It was a
landmark year for me. I wish I could find Miss Susi now to let her know what she did
for me….
