Read the passage.
On my brothers birthday, he was given a kitten. It had

black, fluffy fur so my brother called it Charcoal. I thought
Charcoal was a rather silly name for a cat, whatever its
colour.
Even though Charcoal really belonged to my brother, it
always came to me for its saucer of milk in the morning. And
when my family watched television every evening, it would
snuggle up against my feet instead of my brothers.
Like all kittens, Charcoal loved to play. One of its
favourite games was to chase a ball of yarn. At times, it got
itself all tangled up. That was when it would meow and meow
till I went to its rescue. Charcoal would then lean itself against
my leg and purr gratefully.
Once my brother was jealous and said crossly, Charcoal
is mine, you know! Why is it always with you?
I shrugged my shoulders and quietly carried Charcoal to
my room.

Little Eve is a baby elephant. One day, she looked into the

look ugly.
Mummy Elephant laughed and said, Our nose is special. It
is called a trunk.
I dont want my trunk. Other animals dont have trunks,
complained Little Eve.
Oh, people do have trunks. Their trunks are like big boxes.
They pack their clothes and blankets into their trunks. Sometimes
they pack their things into the trunks when they go on a trip,
replied Mummy Elephant.
Daddy Elephant said, Trees have trunks too, to hold up
their branches and leaves.
I dont have clothes and blankets or branches and leaves.
I dont need a trunk! said Little Eve.
Mummy and Daddy laughed. Then Daddy said, Our
trunks are very special. I smell with my trunk. I pick up things with
it. It is my nose as well as my hand.
And you use your trunk to shower yourself too, said
