Every year a lot of sardines swim along the coast of South Africa. They are followed by predators: penguins, dolphins, sharks and whales. These predators swim around the sardines so that sardines make a ball in the water. Then they attack and eat the sardines. Last month, a diver wanted to get pictures of the sardines close up, so he jumped from his boat into the middle of the sardine ball. All of a sudden, it got dark around him. A whale had come up from below and swallowed him by accident. Whales cannot eat people, so it let him go. He was safe, but he was very surprised! (by Douglas Jarrell)

Kampala is full of motorcycles. Uganda doesn’t have public transportation, so most people use motorcycles called “boda boda” as taxis. You can see one, two, or even three people sitting behind the driver. The traffic is bad, but boda boda go between the cars. There are also small vans like buses. People signal to the van they want to take and it stops for them. In the countryside, there are always people walking along the main road. Children walk to school. Adults go shopping or collect wood and water. People with bicycles push them and carry heavy things on the back rack. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
