A fox fell into a well and couldn’t get out. By and by a thirsty goat came along. Seeing the fox in the well it asked if the water was good. “Good”, said the fox. “It’s the best water I’ve tasted in all my life. Come down and try it yourself. “The goat thought of nothing but how thirsty he was. So he jumped into the well. When he had drunk enough he looked around but there was no way to get out. Then the fox said, “I have a good idea. You stand on your hind legs and put your forelegs against the side of the well. Then I’ll climb on your back, from there I’ll step on your horns, and I can get out. And when I’m out I’ll help you out of the well.” The goat did as he was asked and the fox got on his back and so out of the well. Then he coolly walked away. The goat called out  loudly after him out. The fox merely turned to him and said, “If you only has as much sense in your head as you have hairs in your beard you wouldn’t have jumped into the well without making sure  that you could get out again.

Sugarcane is perrennial tropical grass which is primarily used to produce sucrose. It grows best in tropical and subtropical regions as the plant requires a warm, sunny and moist environment for growth.

Sugarcane grows tall with stout jointed stems. The leaves grow from the nodes of the stem, arranged in two rows on either side of the stem. The leaves are tubular and blade like which encircle the stem. The inflorescence is a terminal panicle which possesses two spikelets and seeds protected by husks and covered in silky hair. Sugarcane can reach a height of up to 6m. It is most commonly harvested by hand cutting. The stalks should be cut close to the ground when the canes are fully mature. The stalk will regrow, allowing the plant to live for between 8 and 12 years.

Sugarcane is vegetatively propagated by planting part of a mature cane called setts. Setts should be cut from carefully selected mature canes. The best cutting are taken from the upper portions of the cane and should be planted horizontally or at a 45o angle in furrows 15-30 cm deep. Once in the ground, the setts should be covered with a thin layer of soil.

Sugarcane is primarily used for the production of cane sugar (sucrose). One of bio products of sugarcane production is bio ethanol which can be used as a fuel in place of gasoline. The dried fiber which is left over after the extraction of the sugarcane juice is called bagasse, used in paper and textile production, as a fuel or organic mulch.


Which statement best describes sugarcane?

a)

b)

It produces gasoline

c)

d)

It grows well around the world.

My sister and I went to see a film last night. It was an American movie called

The Lost Flight. It showed how people can quickly change when they have to look after themselves in the jungle.

It was an interesting film about a plane which crashed on a small empty island in the Pacific Ocean. Although the passengers were safe, nobody knew where the plane had crashed.

So the passengers had to learn how to hunt for food in the jungle and how to catch fish from the sea to eat. After a few weeks, the passengers were eating raw fish and meat.

After they had been on the island for two months, three of the men made a boat and sailed away to find help. But their boat sank and they were drowned.

The film ended without saying whether the passengers were rescued or not. But my sister and I enjoyed the film.
