Story 30 "The Burning Bush"

The Monster One day, the Rabbit family went outside. “What a nice place!” said the three little Rabbits. They stopped for a picnic. “Could we play around the fence?” asked little Rabbits. “You can go for a hop, but do not go far!” Mum said. Bunny, Sunny and Jack went for a hop. They hopped under a fence. “Who is there?” said Bunny. “A monster is coming!” said Sunny. “Let's run!” said Jack. Bunny hopped into a hole. She saw a pink monster. Sunny hopped behind a bush. She saw a brown monster. Jack hopped in the tall grass. He saw a long monster with lots of hair!

Bunny rabbit lived in the forest. He had many friends. He was proud of his friends. One day Bunny rabbit heard the loud barking of wild dogs. He was very scared. He decided to ask for help. He quickly went to his friend deer. He said, "Dear friend, some wild dogs are chasing me. Can you chase them away with your sharp antlers?" The deer said, "That is right, I can. But now I am busy. Why don't you ask bear for help?" Bunny rabbit ran to the bear. "My dear friend, you are very strong. Please help me. Some wild dogs are after me. Please chase them away," he requested to the bear. The bear replied, "I am sorry. I am hungry and tired. I need to find some food. Please ask the monkey for help." Poor Bunny went to the monkey, the elephant, the goat and all his other friends. Bunny felt sad that nobody was ready to help him. He understood that he had to think of a way out by himself. He hid under a bush. He lay very still. The wild dogs did not find the bunny. They went chasing other animals. Bunny rabbit learnt that he had to learn to survive by himself, not depending on his unhelpful friends. Moral: It is better to rely on yourself than depend on others.

We grow crops or plants for many reasons. •Crops can be damaged which leads to reduced yields. •Therefore farmers need to protect crops against weeds, drought, veld fires and animals. 1.animals: •Plants need to be protected from animals like sheep, goats, donkeys and cattle. •These animals are grazers and browsers, so they destroy plants. •Therefore plants can be protected from the animals by using fences. •Barbed wire, or thorn bush wood can be used as fence. 2. Veld fires •Veld fire are usually experienced during the dry season. •These fires may destroy plants in fields and plantations. •Plants can be protected from veld fires by a fireguard. •A fireguard is a strip of land without grass on it. •A fire guard must be at least 9 metres wide. •The strip runs around the area planted to prevent the veld fires. 3. Drought •Drought is the shortage of rain water for a long time. •When plants do not enough water they wilt, resulting in poor growth and even death of plants. •Low rainfall also causes low yields and poor growth. •Drought can be protected by: ✓Plant drought resistant seeds. ✓Using irrigation ✓Practice water conservation methods such as mulching and terraces. 4. Weed control • Crops can be affected by weeds. •Weeds compete for nutrients with plants resulting in poor growth. • Some weeds provide shelter and food for pests that later attack the crop. •Weeds have to be removed from planting or transplanting until the end of the rainy season.
