Walifanya kazi pamoja. Kila mmoja alijitahidi kadiri ya uwezo wake. Walishirikiana kama kinu na mchi. Bega kwa bega, walifanya kazi zao. Mwewe alijitwika jukumu la kulisha familia zote mbili naye kuku alikuwa na jukumu la kuwalinda watoto wao. Kuku alihakikisha wameshiba na kutulia.
Ndege hawa waliishi kwa amani na utulivu bila kukumbwa na tatizo lililowashinda kutatua. Urafiki wao ulifanya wakati mwingine walale njaa ili watoto wao washibe.

Je, ni mnyama yupi mwenye nyayo kama za kasuku, awezaye kutazama pande zote kwa wakati mmoja na mwenye ulimi wenye kasi isiyomithilika? Si ndege, si chura bali ni kinyonga. Kwa makini ukichunguza vidole vya kinyonga, utagundua kuwa, kiaina, vinafanana na vya kasuku. Kila mguu unavyo vidole vitano vyenye upekee wa kuyakamata matawi sawasawa. Aidha, kila kidole kinao ukucha, hivyo, kuwafanya vinyonga wakwezi hodari.
Si miguu yao tu ambayo huajabiwa katika miili yao. Kwa mtazamo wa makini, itadhihirika kuwa katika kila moja ya macho yao, ukope wa juu na wa chini hukaribiana kiasi cha kuacha nafasi ya mboni pekee. Kinyume na binadamu, kinyonga huweza kutazama na kuona pande mbili tofauti mara moja, kwa wakati mmoja. Hili humwezesha kuona kwa nyuzi mia tatu na sitini bila tatizo. Vile vile, wao huwa na uwezo mkubwa wa kuona hususan wakiyaelekeza macho yao yote mawili katika azma moja. Wana uwezo wa kuwaona wadudu wadogo wadogo hata wakiwa mbali. Hili huwasaidia sana wakati wa mawindo.
Ili kulipiza katika utaratibu wao wa kutembea, vinyonga huwa na ndimi ndefu ajabu. Wakati mwingine, ndefu kuliko urefu wa miili yao kwa jumla! Yasemekana kuwa ndimi hizo zao huwa na kasi kiasi kuwa ni vugumu binadamu kuufuatilia mwondoko huo kwa macho. Ni kwa vipi ambavyo ndimi zao huwa na kasi hivyo? Hakika, ndimi zao huwa kama upote na mshale au manati. Jinsi ambavyo upote hurusha mshale ndivyo ambavyo ulimi wa kinyonga hutoka na kuingia kinywani mwake na hivyo kumsaidia kulinasa windo lake.
Talanta nyingine maarufu ya kinyonga ni uwezo wake wa kubadilibadili rangi ya ngozi yake. Anao uwezo wa kujibadili hadi rangi zote za upinde wa mvua na hata zambarau, waridi, nyeusi na hudhurungi. Uwezo huu huwasaidia kujificha kwa kujifananisha na mazingira waliyomo. Hata hivyo, sababu kuu ya uwezo huu huwa kudhibiti kiwango cha joto mwilini na kuelekeza hisia zao. Wao hutumia mabadiliko haya ya rangi kuonyesha hali ya kutamalaki na utetezi katika maeneo wanamoishi. Mabadiliko haya ya rangi aidha hutumika kuwavutia vinyonga wa jinsia tofauti.
Vinyonga wengi hupatikana Afrika. Hata hivyo, matabaka mengine machache yamewahi kushuhudiwa kwingineko kama vile Asia na pia majangwani. Maadamu vinyonga hawana masikio, wao hutumia hisia za mirindimo katika mazingira yao. Hayo yote ya kuajabia kuhusu kinyonga humfanya awe mwanajamii wa kuvutia mno miongoni mwa wanyama jamii ya mamba na mburukenge.
- Ni gani hapa si kweli kuhusu kinyonga?
- Anao ulimi wenye kasi ya juu.
- Nyayo zake hufanana na za kasuku.
- Huweza kutazama pande nyingi kwa wakati mmoja.
- kwa kiwango fulani, hufanana na chura.

Read the passage below and answer questions 39 to 50.
Pleasure is something that is enjoyed by all living beings, but it is through our sense organs that we humans truly experience it. The sense of smell, sight, hearing, touch, and taste each bring their own unique pleasures. Senses are important when it comes to enjoying food, as we are able to appreciate the flavours and aromas that make our meals so enjoyable. Otherwise food would be monotonous, nothing to look forward to. The natural beauty of the world, such as ice-capped mountains and thundering waterfalls, can also bring great pleasure to our senses.
However, there is a higher order of pleasure that can be derived from reading. While external things bring pleasure to our senses, reading brings pleasure to the mind. The more and widely one reads and develops the mind, the greater the pleasure that can be derived from reading. It is through reading that we can truly become a "full" person, as it allows us to expand our knowledge, imagination and understanding of the world.
Reading is the end product of writing, and without something written, there would be nothing to read. Therefore, good writing is essential for good reading. It is only humans that can write, that is, put their thoughts and ideas into a written form. Writing has been an important aspect of human existence and it is through writing that we are able to preserve our thoughts and ideas. The world of literature is vast and there is something for everyone to read.
Nowadays, there is a wide variety of reading material available for all tastes. A scholar may read serious literature to expand their knowledge while another person may read a magazine or picture book to pass the time. The material chosen will depend on one's mood, reading background, time available and purpose. A teenager may enjoy romance stories, while an older person may prefer books on philosophy and religion. Some may prefer poetry, while others may prefer non-fiction.
Reading is a habit that can be enjoyed and cultivated. A personal library can be built to suit one's interests. There are a wide variety of kinds, such as poetry, novels, fiction, drama, and letters. Biographies and autobiographies also make up a large portion of literature. The greatest advantage of reading is that one can come across great minds, regardless of whether one agrees with what is being read or not. There is no harm in having an opinion on the writer, but it is not necessary to publish it. Reading can be enjoyed in a comfortable and quiet environment, with soft lighting and a comfortable seat.
In conclusion, reading is a habit that can be enjoyed and cultivated for a lifetime. It is through reading that we can expand our knowledge and imagination, and it can be uplifting. While reading is not everything in life, it can bring a sense of dignity and pleasure.
