There is an old tiger in the forest, He doesn't want to look for food now. He often asks other animals to get him something to eat.
One day, he sees a monkey and says, "I am hungry, monkey. Go to the village and get me something to eat."" I can't do that now tiger," the monkey says. "There is another tiger over there. He will not let me get anything for you to eat. I am afraid of him." "What?" cries the old tiger. "Take me to that tiger. I will talk to him."
The monkey and the tiger get to the bridge over the river." Now look down at the water." Says the monkey. "Do you see the tiger?" "Yes, I do," cries the old tiger." I will eat him." With these words the tiger jumps into the river.

Have you ever been in a rainforest?There aren't any in Europe but there are some in Africa, Asia and South America. I was in a rainforest once. It was hot and dark. It was also very wet. Water was falling from the leaves of the trees like rain. The ground was covered with dead leaves. But there were thousands of new plants growing.
The most exciting plants were the large trees. Some were 50 metres high. I could only see little pieces of blue sky through the leaves. All the trees had small plants growing on them, and some of these had beautiful, brightly coloured flowers.
It was very noisy. I could hear lots of birds. They were hard to see but I saw one green and red parrot flying high above me. It was beautiful. The insects also made a lot of noise and I could feel them on my arms and legs.
I didn't see any monkeys. They were probably sleeping high up in the treetops. I did see a small snake on the ground. I hate snakes so I walked quickly but carefully out of the forest.
I wouldn't like to live in a rainforest but I am happy that I could see one before they all disappear from Earth.
