Nation of Ivory Coast and Ghana, where ongoing dry weather and decades of civil
conflict (Ivory Coast) have damaged crops and affected the production. Meanwhile, our
global consumption of the sweet treat is increasing, led by a wider switch to darker, more
cocoa-heavy styles. By 2012, demand had exceeded supply as prices rose accordingly.
Chocolate is likely to become more pricey while product sizes shrink. Manufacturers may
switch their products with other ingredients.

Section C
[25 marks]
The village lay ahead; all around lay the dull green forest. Nearby, a buffalo, fastened by
rope to a tree, was placidly grazing.
Sanjay turn to his driver. Its a peaceful scene, isnt it?
Not for the buffalo, the driver said. Thats the bait for the tiger were looking for. At the
moment its lucky. The tiger never came.
They stopped the truck and got out. Immediately a woman came running up, obviously
distressed and anxious to tell Sanjay something. Her husband, she said, had slept out last night to
protect his familys field. Today he had not returned. She and her neighbours had gone to his
little hut by the fields. It was smashed down. The tiger had taken him. They had seen the
footprints. The womans tears made Sanjay even more determined to catch this murderous, maneating tiger. Moreover, it had now claimed two victims. Tomorrow he would talk with the
villagers about plans to hunt the tiger down.
Early next morning he decided to take a look around. He walked around the dirt road that
led out of the village, and then turn off on to a narrow path at the edge of the jungle. The path
began to take him through an area of tall grass three or four metres high. He stopped. Just in
front of him lay a paw print. To his left were three more prints, each of the ten centimeters wide.
Obviously, a large male tiger had come this way and from the look of the prints had crossed the
path quite recently.
The surrounding high grass seemed dense and solid. Then, looking harder, he spotted
several bent and broken stems. An animal had clearly pushed its way through the grass. He had
hardly taken in this evidence when a heavy, low, continuous growling started up inside the grass.
The tiger was there. It was so close he could feel the vibration of its growls coming through the
earth.
He stood there, his heart thudding. The growls instantly grew louder. The tigers head
could not be more than three metres from him; one short bound But why could he not see it?
With a great effort he stood quite still. A remark of an old-time hunter flashed into his
mind. When tigers come across people, they move away. This tiger, however, was not moving.
Its behavior was clearly abnormal. This must be a man-eater. Then he caught a glimpse of
movement. Yellow and black stripes glided swiftly through patch of thinner grass. To his horror,
Sanjay half-hearted, half-saw the tiger circling back past him until it was moving parallel with
the road. Then it stopped. It had cut him off from any escape back to the village. Sanjay looked
around for any trees to climb. There were none within fifty yards. There was no means of retreat.

The growl has ceased, but a flicking, swishing noise came from the tall grass. The tiger
had stopped again. Staring intently into the grass, Sanjay spotted some small movements. He
realized the dry grass was being disturbed by the tigers tail. Whatever he did, he knew he must 35
move slowly. He must not run it would set off the man-eaters attack. Anyway, no matter how
fast he sprinted the tiger would catch him.
He took two slow steps along the path. The tigers growls broke out again. This time
Sanjay retaliated with his own grunting order. Get out of it! Get Away! he made his voice low
and menacing as he could. The animal fell silent, but did not move. Then he caught a glimpse of
its striped coat. It still had him cornered.

Sweat stood all over his body; he felt paralysed and unable to think. Then came all
together different noise: a squeaking and thudding and the clatter of a diesel engine burst through
the jungle. Suddenly, a vehicle lurched into view along the path, with the driver at the wheel. He
caught sight of Sanjay and stopped a few metres away, keeping the engine still running. Yet, the
tiger still lay between Sanjay and safety. In that instant, Sanjay made up his mind. Let it
spring, he thought. Ive only one chance left.
With one enormous leap Sanjay hurled himself at the open seat of the truck, alongside the
driver, but landed flat on the bonnet. Almost at the same moment, a streak of black and yellow
fur thundered onto the vehicle, next to the driver, eyes blazing, claws slashing. As if, in a dream,
Sanjay felt the vehicle roar backwards, and saw his driver beating the tiger over the head with an
iron wrench. Again and again he hit it. The tiger dropped to the ground; the vehicle carried on
speeding backwards down the path, with Sanjay clawing madly at the windscreen in his attempt
to hang on. The vehicle slowed down and came to a halt, safe on the open road.
Sanjay sat up and stared dumbly at the tall forest grass. There was no sign of the tiger.
Then he looked at his driver and saw a grin slowly spreading across his face. The buffalo lives
another day, he said.

A Poison Tree
I was angry with my friend:
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.
And I watered it in fears,
Night and morning with my tears;
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles.
And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright;
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine,
And into my garden stole
When the night had veiled the pole:
In the morning glad I see
My foe outstretched beneath the tree.
William Blake
