Mr Makawa asked about the birds which were seen during the morning. Then he told a story.
"I would like to tell you a story," he said, "which is probably not a true story. Many birds have legends told about them, especially the very big birds. This legend is about the birds on the veld, who argued one day about who was king. Each bird claimed to be king, and each one gave the reason why it should be king. Then the eagle told them that it was very easy to find the king of the birds. All the birds could fly but the one that could fly the highest should be king.
The eagle was very clever and he knew he could fly higher than any other bird. He told all the birds to get ready for the competition. The little humming bird sat quietly on a branch, listening to the discussion. He was the smallest bird and he knew the eagle would beat him. When all the birds were ready for the competition, he moved next to the eagle. The eagle told the birds to start and the humming bird hopped onto the eagle’s back. He was so small that the eagle did not know it was carrying another bird.
Up an up the birds flew. One by one they stopped when they could not go higher. The eagle flew on up into the sky until he was the only one left. At last he could go no further. The little humming bird flew off his back and flew above the eagle.
"I am the king,” shouted the humming bird. "1 can fly higher than any other bird.” when the eagle saw the humming bird above him he tried to fly higher but he could not do it. When the birds were all together in the trees they told the humming bird that he was now their king.
"I like that story,” said Tinani. ”From now on the humming bird will be my favorite.”
"How could the smallest bird be the king?” asked Farai.
"Sometimes” said Mr. Makawa, ”It is better to be clever than to be strong."
Who suggested the competition?

Dear Jenny
We returned from our holidays yesterday. My parents are awfully tired, but Anna and I could still have travelled if not for school re-opening on Monday. Well, we had a marvelous time. l am sorry you couldn't join us because your cousins had come down from Malaysia.
On the journey to Butterworth we saw many plantations. We passed through towns and train stopped at a few stations. We were very excited when the train engineer allowed us to watch him drive the train. I always thought that the train had a steering wheel, but it hasn't. The train steers itselfas it runs on the rail.
We alighted at Butterworth and then took a ferry to Penang. Father’s friend was at the ferry terminal to welcome us. He drove us to his house near the sea. We spent the days shopping, picnicking on Penang Hill, visiting places of interest and of course, swimming in the sea. I'm as brown as a berry now!
I hope you had an exciting holiday, too. See you on Monday then.
Yours sincerely,
Mary
