Question 4
Read the text below.

A long time ago, there was a family with six sons and a daughter who lived in
a village near the Sapulut River in Sabah. The girl, who was the youngest in the
family, was also the most beautiful girl in the village.
The siblings loved to spend their day near the Sapulut River. Now, there was
one rock on the upper river and a skunk lived on this rock. The skunk had such an
overpowering stench that the siblings hated and planned to have it killed.
One night, the girl dreamt that the rock could be destroyed using a shoulder
blade of a porcupine. When she told her brothers about her dream, the boys
quickly headed to the forest to catch the porcupine. Once the porcupine was
caught, they slaughtered the animal and ate the meat. The bones were fixed
together to form the axe that they could use to cut the rock.
The next day, the siblings went to the river to destroy the rock. Before they
began, they placed their sister on another rock. Then, they started to strike the
rock with the axe. Eventually, the rock broke and fell into the Sapulut River.
However, they did not realise that every strike they made to the rock caused the
other rock, which their sister was on, to grow taller and taller. When the boys
turned around, they were shocked to see their sister on top of a gigantic rock
crying for help.
With angry blows, they tried to cut down the rock. The peak of the rock broke
and was thrown all the way to Tenom Lama, a village more than 50 kilometres
northwest of Sapulut. It is now called Batu Pinuto. Nevertheless, the boys could not
find their sister and came to accept the fact that they had lost her foreve. The
rock that broke down is now known as Batu Punggul.

THE DAY THE BULLDOZERS CAME

by David Orme
The day the bulldozers came The fox
Rooks were building Stirred in his sleep
Crazy egg baskets in the oaks; As the ground trembled.
Green flies sizzled by the pond ‘Ha ha!’ he thought,
And a cold-eyed toad ‘I’m quite safe,
Waited for them. Deep down in the Earth,
No one can get me here.’
The day the bulldozers came Then the bulldozer came.
Squirrels were scattering
Up tree trunks,
And leapt from branches
That were hardly there.
