 Grasshoppers belong to insect. They are typically ground-dweling insects with powerful hind legs which enable them to escape from threats by leaping vigorously. At high population densities and under certain environmental conditions, some grasshopper species can change colour and behavior and form swarms. Under these circumstances they are known as locusts.

Grasshoppers are plant-eaters, sometimes becoming serious pests of cereals, vegetables and pasture, especially when they swarm in their millions as locuts and destroy crops over wide areas. They protect themselves from predators by camouflage; when detected, many species attempt to startle the predator with a brilliantly-coloured wing-flash while jumping and (if adult) lauching themselves intothe air, usually flying for only a short distance. Other species such as the rainbow grasshopper have warning coloration which deters predators. Grasshoppers are affected by parasites and various diseases, and many predatory creatures feed on both nymphs and adults. The eggs are the subject of attack by parasitoids and predators.

Hurricanes are giant, spiraling tropical storms that can pack wind speeds of over 160 miles (257 kilometers) an hour and unleash more than 2.4 trillion gallons (9 trillion liters) of rain a day.
Hurricanes begin as tropical disturbances in warm ocean waters with surface temperatures of least 80 degrees Fahrenheit (26.5 degrees Celcius). These low pressure systems are fed by energy from the warm seas. If a storm achieves wind of 38 miles (61 kilometers) an hour, it becomes known as a tropical depression. A tropical depression becomes a tropical storm, when its sustained wind speeds top 39 miles (63 kilometer) an hour. When a strom’s sustained wind speeds reach 74 miles (119 kilometers) an hour, it becomes a hurricane and earns a category rating of 1 to 5 on the Saffir-Simpson.

ONCE upon the time, a grandmother and her granddaughter lived in Roti Island, Nusa Tenggara Timur. They had a field grew some vegetable. The grandmother sold them at the market

In one morning, the grandmother would go to the market. Before she left, she asked her granddaughter to cook.

“Please cook some rice for lunch. But just cook one grain of rice. It’s enough for both of us.”

“Why, Grandma? asked the girl

“Just do what I said.”

The grandmother then left for the market. Later, the girl started to cook. However, she felt a grain of rice would not be enough for them.

“I think it’s not enough for me and my grandmother.” Then she took handfuls of rice. Suddenly, something bad happened to the rice pot. “Oh no! the rice flowed out of the pot!” shouted the girl. “What should I do?” The rice became rice porridge. It flowed and flowed until it covered the kitchen. Suddenly, the grandmother came home. The girl explained what happened.

“You are naughty girl! Why didn’t you listen to me? The grandmother was so angry. She hit the girl with a wooden stick.

“Please forgive me, Grandma! The little cried an cried. But the grandmother kept hitting her.

Then, a incredible thing happened! The girl turned into a monkey. The monkey then ran away an climbed a tree. The grandmother chased it. From the tree, the monkey said “ Grandmother, I’m a monkey now.  I cannot live with you anymore, You are all alone.”

The monkey climbed up and disappeared. The grandmother was very sad. She regretted what she had done to her beloved granddaughter. “Please come back to me. Please forgive me, my granddaughter!” but it was too late.

A Kangaroo is an animal found only in Australia. It has a smaller relative, called a wallaby, which lives on the Australian island of Tasmania and in New Guinea.

Kangraroos eat grass and plants. They have short front legs, but very long and strong back legs and tail. These are used for sitting up and for jumping. Kangaroos have been known to make fordward jumps of over eight metres, and leap across fences more than three metres high. They can also run at speeds of over 45 kilometres per hour.

The largest kangaroos are the Great grey kangaroo and the Red Kangaroo. Adults grows to a length of 1.60 metres and weighs over 90 kilos.

Kangaroos are marsupials. This means that the female kangaroo has an external pouch on the front of her body. A baby kangaroo is very tiny when it is born, and it crawls at once into this pouch where it spends its first five months of life.
