Dear Sir,
Im sick of seeing so much rubbish on the roadside. Last week, I drove from Woy Woy to Gosford and
saw over 200 soft drink cans and 80 bottles on the roadside. The recycling and Do the Right Thing
campaigns obviously have not worked. Maybe the police should set up litter cameras as well as speed
cameras to catch motorists who pollute our roads. In South Australia, you pay a deposit of five cents on
cans and bottles and this encourages people to return them rather than dump them. New South Wales
should introduce this idea immediately.
Sincerely,
W. Thompson

Once a small gap appeared in the cocoon, through which the butterfly had to appear. A man, who
accidentally passed by, stopped and watched how the butterfly was trying to get out of the cocoon. It took
a lot of time, the butterfly was trying hard, and the gap was a little as before. It seemed that the power
would leave the butterfly soon.
Then a man decided to help the butterfly. He took a penknife and cut the cocoon. The butterfly
immediately got out, but her body was weak and feeble, and the wings were barely moving.
A man continued to watch at the butterfly, thinking that now her wings would spread and she would
fly. However, that did not happen. The rest of her life the butterfly had to drag her weak body and wings
that werent spread. She was unable to fly, because a man who wanted to help her did not realize that an
effort to go through the narrow gap of the cocoon was necessary for the butterfly , so that the life giving
