 The Basic Needs of Human and Animals

One evening, when Cik Ti crawled out from its shelter to search for

food, the day started to rain heavily. Cik Ti immediately crawled back to the

shelter, a hole near a woody house. Cik Ti was tired. She also felt hungry. She

tried to find some food but there was no food left in the hole. “ Oh no… I will die

without food.” Said Cik Ti frustrated. Cil Ti moved into the kitchen in that woody

house. “ Arghh…… I am hungry!. Cik Ti screamed. “Wow, cheese…. Emmm….

Delicious.” After she had her food, she was thirsty. She saw a cup of water on the

table. Cik Ti drank the water. Tap! Tap! Tap! Without her knowing, Mamat was

ready to trap her into a plastic bag. He tighten the bag tightly. Help! Help! I can’t

breath…… where is the air.” Shouted Cik Ti ….. Her voice slow down time by time.

Lastly Cik Ti dead without air…..

 ADAPTION TO NATURE

Cactus, how do you

get water in this
dry region?
My thick stem can store
more water for me.

I have long roots.

So I can go deep in the soil to
get water. I have needle shaped
leaves.
So I lost less water.

Coconut tree, how do you

survive from strong wind?

My leaves are divided so that

Oh, I have strong buttress
