(ii) It looked as if they had come to the shop to rob the shopkeeper, Ray.

and leaves dried up and fall.

(iv) Dreams can be useful in the following two ways:

(a) It helps us sleep during noises and disturbances.

(v) If I were a baby crocodile I would tell Makara that he was not right. Our forest is full of foul smell because there are no tortoises. They eat dead animals and fruits and kept our forest clean. We are fed up with rats. They have became too bold because there are no snakes. We are pestered by insects because there are no lizards to check them. I would convince him that our life has become miserable without our friends. They should be called back.
