One day, Daisy went to see the animals that gave fur to make her sweater in a flying carpet. It flew away to Tibet in China first, where she saw an antelope. The antelope told her that they {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(kill) for the wool taken from their  {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(stomach). Then the carpet flew away to Zimbabwe, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Daisy saw {#blank#}4{#/blank#}elephant. The elephant said they were an {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(danger) species in Zimbabwe. Farmers used to hunt them {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(merciless). Now the government allowed tourists {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(hunt) a certain number of animals if they paid the farmers. The flying carpet rose again and almost immediately they arrived at a thick rainforest. There a monkey {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(rub) a millipede insect over its body was protecting {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (it) from mosquitoes. So Daisy made a {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(decide) to produce this new drug with the help of WWF. The carpet rose and flew home.

    Fishermen and {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (sail) sometimes claim to have seen monsters in the sea. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} people have often laughed at stories told by seamen, it is now {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (know) that many of these ‘monsters' which have at times been sighted are {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (simple) strange fish. Occasionally, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (usual) creatures are washed to the shore, but they are rarely caught out at sea. Some time ago, however, a peculiar fish was caught near Madagascar. A small fishing boat {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (carry) miles out to sea by the powerful fish as it pulled on the line. {#blank#}7{#/blank#}  (realize) that this was no ordinary fish, the fisherman made every effort not to damage {#blank#}8{#/blank#} in any way. When it was eventually brought to shore, it was found to be over thirteen feet long. It had a head like a horse, big blue eyes, shinning silver skin and a bright red tail. The fish, which has since been sent to a museum {#blank#}9{#/blank#} it is being examined by a scientist, is called an oarfish. Such creatures have rarely been seen {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (live) by man as they live at a depth of six hundred feet.
