    Lately, people have entered the forests where chimpanzees live. The chimpanzees have been getting sick because of people's diseases. In addition, people are hunting chimpanzees. Their number is becoming smaller and smaller. Chimpanzees live in the plains and forests of Africa. They eat many kinds of foods, from plant leaves and seeds to insects and even other small animals. Chimpanzees' favourite food is fruit.

    Chimpanzees are very clever and they can use tools well. They can catch bugs by using sticks, and break nuts by using rocks.

    The world's forests are much smaller than they were before. Roads were built in deep forests, so people start to enter forests where chimpanzees live.Thatmay lead to many problems. One problem for chimpanzees is that they can easily catch people's diseases and die. Chimpanzees are much closer to people than monkeys.

    As it's easier for people to enter forests, they hunt more often. Young chimpanzees are caught to be pets or for scientific researches. The young ones are taken away from the forests, and the adults are killed. Chimpanzees are likely to disappear in the future.

"Impossible!" I said wthinking, "How can a hen fly?"

I thought for a wand said, "Maybe because of love. The hen loves her own life and that helps her fly!" Tom nodded. He seemed to have understood.

"Dad, why didn't the hen fly away? She kshe can't fight the dog." Tom asked.

I thought for a moment and said, "Maybe because of love. She loves her babies mthan anything else in the world." Tom thought for a long time and nodded. He seemed to have understood.
