Tambun Gediu, now badly hurt and staying in hospital, says it was his wife that saved his life from the mouth of a tiger.
"I was 1 a rabbit in the forest not far from my home and was ready to catch it when I saw the 2. That's when I realized that I was being followed," said Mr. Gediu. The tiger jumped at Mr Gediu at once. He stood there with great 3 so that he did not know what to do for a moment, and then he tried 4 a tree to keep away from the animal, 5 he was pulled down by the tiger.
His wife, 55-year-old Han Besau, who was in the kitchen, heard the noise, realizing it was coming from the 6 where her husband was looking for rabbits and she 7 the nearest "weapon (武器)" -a wooden ladle(长柄勺)-rushed out of the 8 and into the nearby forest. Seeing her husband 9 hard to stop the tiger tearing(撕裂)him into pieces, she ran 10 to the animal, shouting at the top of her voice and hitting its head with the ladle until it ran off.
Tambun had to wait more than 3 hours before he could be taken to hospital in the nearest town, Gerik, because his village was very far.
It was the first time that a tiger had attacked someone in the village.
Perhaps your childhood piano lessons made you never want to play the piano again. Perhaps a piano is too expensive for you to afford. Now, thanks to a programme in Sydney called "Play Me, I'm yours", people are able to play the piano in public places for free. They share beautiful music, and the programme also helps them communicate with each other.
Thirty pianos have been placed in different parts of the city, including in several parks, at a bus stop and on some streets. The pianos have the logos "Play Me, I'm yours" on them. People are invited to play music or sing songs with the pianos, no matter what level of ability they have. Lots of people have been attracted to the programme and stopped to watch or play the pianos.
“Play Me, I'm yours” is a part of the Sydney Festival. It is a project of the British artist, Luck Jerram. He wants to help people in the city connect with each other. He thinks that so many people are sitting in front of computers and busy with their work all hours, and they almost have no chance to enjoy music. So the purpose of the project is to help them relax and make new friends.
The programme "Play Me, I'm yours" also reached England and Brazil (巴西) before. It was warmly welcomed there. But its greatest success seems to come at the Sydney Festival, "It's a chance for people to be creative, communicate with strangers and just have some fun," Jerram said.
When you sleep somewhere else, like at a summer camp or a friend's house, you know you're there for a fun time. But for some kids, when they are away from home they feel sad. They start to miss- their own beds, their own parents, and all the things at home. It's called being homesick (想家的). Do you want to feel less homesick? Here's how.
Spend more time doing fun things. The more fun things you do, the less time you'll have to feel homesick. So try to take part in activities and soon you might start to have a good time.
You can make a plan to call your mum or dad. For a one-night visit, maybe you can call once that night, and again in the morning. In the camp, you might set a regular day and time for a phone call home. You can also send emails or short messages to keep in touch with family members and friends. If you're going to be away for a while, you might even write a letter! When you get in touch with someone, make sure to tell them about the fun things you're doing!
Sometimes, just tell someone that you're feeling homesick. This will help you feel better. Maybe you can tell a friend that you feel homesick. And both of you can do something fun, such as telling jokes. If you're at a camp, a camp counselor (顾问) would be a good person to talk to. He or she might have some ideas to help you feel better.
