him too.

During the last holidays, Halim and his friends went camping together. They
were excited and planned for the trip well. They camped in Bukit Nanas quite far
from their school. Halims uncle, Encik Abdul Rahman accompanied them on the
trip. He was an experienced scout so he could look after the boys well and help
them . They brought along tents, torchlights, clothes, cooking utensils and enough
food for three days.

The weather was fine and everyone was in a happy mood. After getting
down from Halims uncle new car, they had to walk through a jungle track to
reach their campsite. Each of them had to carry their own heavy knapsacks on
their backs. The air was fresh and they enjoyed walking . They were happy to get
away from the hustle and bustle of their busy town.

Soon they reached their campsite. They saw a beautiful waterfall nearby. The
boys pitched their tents and collected firewood for the campfire at night and
cooking. After that, they spent a lot of time playing in the cool clear water. Encik
Abdul Rahman taught them how to make a fishing rod. Halim and his friends made
their own fishing rods from thin branches and twigs. They had fun trying to catch
fish using the fishing rods they had made. They also took turns to cook their simple
meals over a fire.

Besides fishing and swimming, the adventurous boys also went jungle
trekking . It was a challenging activity as the ground was steep and slippery.
Although it was tiring, the boys enjoyed themselves in the jungle. They could see
various types of insects and rare birds and plants. They collected some leaves and
pebbles for their Science Corner in their class. At night, they had a lovely campfire
and sang many camping songs, joked and laughed a lot.

 Soon, it was time to return home. They had spent three wonderful days in the
jungle. Before leaving their campsite, they made sure that the place was clean.
They picked up all the rubbish and put it in a big plastic bag. Halims uncle made

pots and placed them in the soil while Anisa watered the plants using a large
watering can. As her mother uprooting the last plant, a bee flew by and stung in
her arm. Her mother cried out as she fell. She was sobbing uncontrollably as she
never felt such excruciating pain in her entire life. Puan Sara's entire arm was
swollen by the time she finished crying.

Anisa was so worried, she immediately ran to her house phone and
phoned her father who was working in his office. He drove back home as fast as
he could and took Puan Sara and Anisa to the clinic.

When they finally arrived at the clinic, Puan Sara's entire arm was throbbing

medicine to numb the pain. Puan Sara felt better and was thankful for having such

was using. Puan Anita started screaming her lungs out in pain. Anisa thought her
mother had been clumsy once again but when she heard her scream, she turned

saw her mother's swollen hand. Her skin was also turned red.

Anisa was very worried. Quickly, she phoned her father and explained to him

gardening together. Anisa was busy watering the plants as her mother used a
trowel to prepare a pot of soil for a new plant. Since they had a beautiful garden,
it was not uncommon to see a few bees buzzing around.

However, when Anisa's mother tried to lift a small plant, she was unaware that
she had disturbed a bee. Sensing danger, the bee immediately stung her in the
arm. Anisa's mother cried out in pain as the stung area swelled within minutes.

Anisa rushed to her mother's aid. After Anisa's mother told her what had
happened, Anisa quickly went inside and phoned her father's office. When her
father picked up, Anisa hastily retold what her mother had said, worry evident in
her voice. Her father told her to stay calm and that he would take her mother to
the clinic shortly. Anisa hung up after saying goodbye and went back to her
mother.

Sure enough, a few minutes later her father arrived and took her mother to the
clinic.There she was examined by a doctor named Randy. Dr. Randy told her to be
more careful at her age and gave her some cream to soothe the pain. After
putting the cream on, she instantly felt a little bit better. She was very grateful and
thanked Dr. Randy. Anisa's parents bid the doctor goodby and went home. Anisa
was as happy as a lark as her parents reached home and knocked the door
because she knew that her mother was okay.
