Noah's panic
Hi, I have been writing a story like Noah's ark. Here it is:
One sunny day when the sun was bright and the sky was blue, Noah heard a huge crash from the lower level of the ark. He sprinted as fast as he could down the stairs eager to see what had happened. When he reached the bottom of the stairs he saw the elephants looking scared and the tiger looking sheepishly at him. “What happened?” shouted Noah. He could see the huge tusk of the elephant stuck in the side of the boat and water was rushing in. He suddenly knew what had happened, the tiger must have escaped from his pen and chased the elephant into the side of the boat.
Noah had no time to explain to the animals, he rounded them up as fast as he could and pushed them up to the top level. The boat started shaking as it filled with water. There was chaos in the ark. Every animal was scared. As the boat started filling up it started sinking and the animals ran to the edge. Just then it started to rain.
“Oh no! This is not good”, said Noah. Then the animals started to fall off the boat. Off went the frog, zebra, goat, cheetah and the wombat and it looked like the tiger was next. Luckily, Noah could see an island in the distance, so he called out and told the animals in the water to start swimming. They swam and swam until they finally reached the island. The other animals and Noah got the planks from the arc and made a raft from the planks and bits of seaweed poking up from the water and sailed there safe and sound.
The end.
Have you heard about Noah’s ark?

This week in lockdown I have been writing about pangolin's here it is -Pangolin’s are sometimes known as scaly/spikey anteaters.They are insectivorous which means they eat ants,termites and maybe some other insects. They are the only mammals that are fully covered in scales.Pangolins are sometimes mistaken as reptiles, but they are actually scaly mammals. When in danger they can roll into a ball.
They are nocturnal which means they sleep in the day and come out at night. They are like hedgehogs because they have lots of things alike like - they are nocturnal, they have spikes/scales and they eat insects. One of the Pangolin’s THREATS are they are hunted for their scales/spikes and meat.
In June 2020 china made the size of protection for the natvie chinese pangolin bigger. Up to 200,000 are taken from the wild every year in Africa and Asia.there are 8 pangolin species in the world 4 are in Africa and 4 are in Asia all are under threat and all protected from trade.
Some companies are trying to stop people selling wild pangolin at the 2 biggest markets like China and Vietnam.
