Families left their homes. I couldnt attend class. I felt like the
dust wouldnt allow us to stay. It seemed unfair.
As my family left, I wrote down several things that I saw on

for their kids. People were in

Chen sat in the middle of the Big Cat Refuge. With his

artist should feel. As Chen approached the lions den on the right,
he saw the king of the jungle himself standing on a rock. Chen
quickly drew the lions muscular shape and outlined his fuzzy
mane. He added a tuft of hair to the end of the lions tail.
By the time Chen got to the tiger sanctuary, all of the big cats
were being fed an all-meat lunch. Chen admired the beauty and
strength of the tiger before sketching. He was able to see that the
tiger was slightly larger than the lion, had striped fur, and did not
have a mane. Chen couldnt deny the irresistible urge to travel and
see these amazing cats in the wild.

The Komodo dragon is the worlds biggest lizard, a meateater that can span up to ten feet long and weigh 200 pounds.
This dragon lives on an island in the Pacific Ocean. It survives
by making meals out of its island neighbors, marine life, wild
pigs, and deer. Its only real weakness is the disappearance of its
natural habitat.
It is remarkable that the outside world had never seen a
spectacle like the Komodo dragon until about 75 years ago. Then
a crashed airplane pilot swam onto a nearby beach. The first
creature to greet him was not a tortoise or a seal but an amazing
Komodo dragon.

people at twice the speed of sound. One of these jets could
take you across the Atlantic Ocean in under four hours. A flight
on a regular airplane would take twice as long. However, a ticket
on a Concorde jet cost about $8,000. This was much more than a
regular flight cost. For this reason, the Concorde stopped flying
in 2003.
