（A）
Cows are calm-looking animals. On the contrary, they are nervousness. My sister, Louise and her husband, Jack, own a farm which lies four hundred miles away from our city. My daughter and son seldom pay visits to them.
At the invitation to their house for my sister’s thirtieth birthday, the four of us went there last Friday. My children enjoyed seeing their two cousins. It has been about two years since we last saw each other, so they had to get acquainted all over again. Fortunately, they seemed to like each other again. Jack was particularly wonderful to us. He asked us to help ourselves to the dishes at lunch. But life on the dairy farm is quite different from anything I am used to. After lunch, the children enjoyed themselves in their ways. I had nothing to do. As soon as I saw the horn on the farm, I tried to blow it. Jack ran out very polite but firm.
He explained, “You must never make sudden loud noise while cows are being milked. It made them unhappy and milk production will drop. It doesn’t matter if I have one or two cows. But I am trying to keep the daily records of what each cow produces.” Hearing this I realized what I had done.

A man was standing by it. “ This horse is mine, ” he said to the man. “Someone stole it from me three days ago.” “How can that be?” the man said, “I bought it three years ago.” “Three years ago?” asked the farmer “Are you sure?” Then he quickly covered both eyes of the horse with his hands and asked, “Which eye is it blind in?” “The left eye,” said the man. The farmer uncovered the left eye and people saw it clear and bright. “Oh, I made a mistake,” said the man, “I mean to say the right eye.” “Are you sure? Well, let’s see then.” The farmer uncovered the other eye of the horse and said, “It’s not blind in either eye.” Then he said to the people around, “It’s not blind in either eye.

“The beast of Baluchistan” was one of the largest animals that ever walked on earth. The scientific name is “Baluchitherium”. It was a very large animal with four feet. It weighed 30-40 tons. It stood more than 5.5 metres high and was 8 metres long. Its front legs were longer than its back begs. This made it easier to reach and eat the tops of trees. The beast was not dangerous. It only ate trees, bushes and grasses. It didn’t have a horn. Some French scientists were excited when they found the bones of these beasts in Pakistan. Baluchistan is now a hot, dry desert. It hardly ever rains. Each beast used to eat over 2 tons of food a day ( plants, trees and grasses ). So scientists think that this part of the world was once a big forest. When did the beast live? Relax! You will not find them today in a dark corner of a forest. They died out about 20 million years ago.

PROTECTING ANIMALS
Long, long ago, animals were the owner of the world. They lived on the earth happily. But as time went by, now animals have got into trouble. They must face so many difficulties. Because people cut down large numbers of trees so that animals have lost their homes. If people don’t stop their activities and go on destroying the nature, maybe some day, people will be the only living thing. At that time, we’ll really feel lonely.
