HOW DAISY LEARNED TO PROTECT WILDLIFE

     Daisy had always longed to help endangered species of wildlife .One day she woke up and found a flying carpet by her bed. “Where do you

    want to go?” it asked .Daisy responded immediately. “I’d like to see some

    endangered wildlife,” she said. “Please take me to a distant land where I

    can find the animal that gave fur to make this sweater.” At once the

    carpet flew away and tool her to Tibet .There Daisy saw an antelope looking sad .It said, “We are being killed for the wool beneath our

    stomachs .Our fur is being used to make sweaters for people like you .As a result ,we are now an endangered species.” At that Daisy cried, “I’m

    sorry I didn’t know that .I wonder what is being done to help you .Flying carpet, please show a place where there’s a wildlife protection.”

     The flying carpet travelled so fast that the next moment they were in Zimbabwe .Daisy turned around and found that she was being watching by an elephant.“Have you come to take my photo?”it asked .In relief

    Daisy burst into laughter. “Don’t laugh,”said the elephant ,“We used to

    an endangered species .Farmers hunted us without mercy .They said we destroyed their farms ,and money from tourists only went to the large tour companies .So the government decided to help .They allowed the tourists to hunt only a certain number of animals if they paid the farmers .Now the farmers are happy and our number are increasing .So good things are being done here to save local wildlife.” Daisy smiled.

“That’s good news .It shows the importance of wildlife protection, but I’d

    like to help as the WWF suggests.” The carpet rose again and almost at

    once they were in a think rainforest .A monkey watched them as it rubbed itself. “What are you doing?” Daisy asked. “I’m protecting myself

    from mosquitoes,” it replied. “When I find a millipede insect ,I rub it over my body .It contains a powerful drug which affects mosquitoes .You should pay more attention to the rainforest where I live and appreciate how the animals live together .No forest ,no animals ,no drugs.”

     Daisy was amazed. “Flying carpet, please take me home so I can tell WWF and we can begin producing this new drug.” The monkey

    agreed .The carpet flew home .As they landed, things began to disappear .Two minutes later everything had gone-the monkey, too. So Daisy was not able to make her new drug .But what an experience! She had learned so much .And there was always WWF„
