We are all personally responsible for releasing carbon dioxide into

FACTS ABOUT THE BENEFITS PROVIDED BY PLANTING ONE TREE.

 Planting one tree absorbs over a ton of harmful greenhouse gases over
its lifetime. A single tree can produce enough oxygen for four people
every day.
 For each RM10 donation, you can provide support for one youth

1 In mid-October I got a real surprise. A lorry pulled up in front of my

house and the driver announced that he had a ‘sokomutu’ for “sale
cheap”. In the Swahili language that means ‘man of the market place’, the
name the chimpanzee earned because of his shrewd, sociable nature. In
the back of the lorry was a full-grown male chimp, trussed up inside a 5
heavy hunting net. He was too powerful an animal to turn loose in my
garden, and I was about to refuse the offer when I noticed that he had an
open, weeping wound on his right wrist.
2 “That wound is infected. It may kill him,” I said to the driver.
3 “Why else do you think I’d sell a chimp for twenty dollars? If he dies, 10
you won’t lose much, but if he gets better you’ll have made a smart deal.”
4 It was clear that unless I intervened, the chimp would die a slow
agonizing death while his owner was trying to sell him. I paid, and the
driver and I unloaded the heavy bundle of netting and carried it to the 15
garage. I picked up a sharp knife from the kitchen, went back to the
garage and locked the door from the inside.
5 The chimp was smaller than I am, but much stronger. Even with a
disabled hand, he was quite capable of breaking most of my bones. Yet,
he was intelligent, taking in every move with his weary-looking brown 20
eyes. I decided to put my trust in that intelligence and so I squatted down
next to him, trying to explain with my gestures and tone of voice that my
intentions were friendly. I talked to him for about ten minutes, calling him
‘Joseph’.
6 Joseph listened attentively, looked at me with pleading eyes, and 25
hooted with astonishment when I gave him a little pat on the head and a
big kiss on the nose. I gently cut his right hand free. Joseph winced with
pain as I then touched his swollen fingers, but showed neither anger nor
alarm. I then slowly freed his legs, watching him carefully. He didn’t make
a move, even when I finally released him from the last folds of netting 30
around his arms. That was where the danger lay : like most animals,
chimpanzees will rarely bite before they catch hold of their prey.
7 Now he was completely free, but he remained motionless. Finally,
pushing his big lips forward, he saluted me with a rising crescendo of
hoots, climaxed by a broad, winning smile. I hooted back at him with a 35
matching smile. Still squatting, he moved towards me slowly. He raised
his hand and peered at the wound with a melancholic expression. I
extended my own hand and he rested his swollen fingers on my palm.
8 I must have held the hand for five minutes, while I tried to determine
the extent of the infection. Joseph hooted a running commentary – until I 40
tried to leave the garage to get medical aid. As soon as I unlocked the
door, he shrieked and shot out of the garage past me. When he was
about sixty metres away, he sat down, screaming hysterically. I walked
towards him slowly. To my surprise, he let me close the gap and take him
by the left hand. I squeezed it tightly in my own, trying to reassure him 45
and yet also trying to give him the illusion of my superior strength and
authority. Gently, I persuaded him back to the garage. I sat down and
waited quietly. After some moments, he sat down himself.
9 “Stay here!” I said, holding a finger in front of his nose; but as soon as
I got up he tried to follow. We did this again… and again … and again … 50

for more than an hour. Finally, he gave in and decided to stay there. I left
in a hurry, locking the door from the outside.
10 I went to find the District Veterinary Surgeon. He was away until the
next day, so I left an urgent message and returned to my house to gather
some elementary medical supplies. 55
11 I opened the garage door and found Joseph sitting just inside. This
time, he made no attempt to escape, but remained entirely submissive,
even when I washed the wound. Only when I probed at the deepest part
did he pull his hand away in pain. He inspected the wrist slowly and then
put his hand back in mine. I covered the wrist with sulphur powder and 60
wrapped it in about six metres of bandage, hoping that some of it would
remain in place.

32. Read the following poem What Has Happened to Lulu? and answer the questions
that follow.

What Has Happened to Lulu

What has happened to Lulu, mother?
What has happened to Lu?
There's nothing in her bed but an old rag-
doll
And by its side a shoe.
Why is her window wide, mother,
The curtain flapping free,
And only a circle on the dusty shelf
Where her money-box used to be?
Why do you turn your head, mother,
And why do tear drops fall?
And why do you crumple that note on the
fire
And say it is nothing at all?
I woke to voices late last night,
I heard an engine roar.
Why do you tell me the things I heard
Were a dream and nothing more?
I heard somebody cry, mother,
In anger or in pain,
But now I ask you why, mother,
You say it was a gust of rain.
Why do you wander about as though
You don't know what to do?
What has happened to Lulu, mother?
What has happened to Lu?
