A TRIP TO THE JUNGLE

One day, the insect investigators went to

the farthest part of the jungle to find some

insects. The day was sunnier than the day

before. They hoped that the insects they find

in the jungle is more interesting than the

insects they find in the city. Pravin found the

most colourful beetle there. Nurul also found

a caterpillar fatter than the one she saw the

other day. It was the best day ever.
