the remaining patches of forests on the island of Sumatra. Accelerating deforestation and rampant
poaching mean this creature could end up like its extinct Javan and Balinese relatives.

At the edge of a forest, stood a big tree. Its branches spread out majestically and so did
its roots. It protected people from the sun under its shady leaves, and provided shelter to
countless birds and other small creatures in its branches.
At the foot of the tree grew a little plant. The plant was small and thin.
One day, the big tree asked the little plant.
“Well, little one,” said the tree to the plant, “Why do you not plant your feet deeply in the
ground, and raise your head bravely in the air as I do?”
“I see no need to do so,” whispered the plant with a smile. “Actually, I think I may be safer
this way.”
“Safer!” laughed at the tree. “Are you saying that you’re safer than I am? Do you know how
deep my roots are buried, how thick and strong my trunk is? Who could possibly take me
out by the roots or bow my head to the ground?”
But the tree was to regret its words very soon. One evening a great hurricane arose in
the region. It threw the trees off their roots and almost completely destroyed the forest. It
uprooted the big tree and fell it down with great force.
When the storm had passed, the forest was dirty with his pieces of carcasses.
The little plant had been thrown and turned under the anger of the hurricane, and bent
completely. But when the hurricane ended, it sighed and stood upright again.
No trace remained of its mighty neighbour though.

Tutankhamun was king of Egypt from about 1332 B.C. until his death around 1322 B.C. His reign
was unimportant. But interest in Tutankhamun began in 1922, when the British archaeologist
Howard Carter discovered his tomb. It had not been opened since ancient times and still had most
of its treasures. It is the only tomb of an ancient Egyptian king to be discovered almost completely
undamaged.

Tutankhamun became king at about the age of 9. He probably got a lot of help from Ay, his
vizier (minister of state) who also became his successor. Historians believe Tutankhamun died at
about the age of 18, but they are unsure how. X-rays show that he may have had a head injury from
an accident. Some say that he was murdered. Officially it is thought he died from an infection after
breaking his leg. His tomb is in the Valley of the Kings in central Egypt.

Howard Carter searched for Tutankhamun’s tomb for nearly six years. He finally discovered
that its entrance had been hidden by the waste from digging at the entrance of the nearby tomb of
King Ramses VI. Tutankhamun’s four-room tomb contained more than 5,000 objects, including
many beautifully carved and gold-covered items. A wonderful gold mask of Tutankhamun covered
the head and shoulders of the royal mummy.
