TIPS FOR A BETTER SLEEP
Having Afternoon
Naps
Afternoon naps should not be longer
than half an hour. These naps would
enhance performance and make you
more alert. However, avoid sleeping
on a bed where you are likely to go
into a deep sleep.
Avoid Caffeine and
Sugary Food
Taking coffee or tea especially in the
evenings can be problematic. All

your brain. Similarly, food with high
sugar content could make you
hyperactive.

because it helps to improve the
quality of your sleep. Most of us may
be mentally exhausted but not
physically. Therefore, you need to do
simple exercise such as jogging and

There was a king who had a daughter and she was the fairest girl in the land. As he was old, he
wanted to find and heir to the throne to whom he woud give his daughters hand in marriage.

To achieve this, the person had to take up a challenge. The person had to be brave enough to
swim across the crocodile-filled river around the palace. He believed that the person who was
courageous enough to do so would be suitable to rule his palace. Besides, he wanted a man who was
determined.

The King called for all the men in his kingdom and they gathered around the palace. He announced
the challenge and the reward but no one dared to jump into the river as this would risk their lives.
They knew that the crocodiles would attack anyone who jumped into the river. Moreover, the
creatures were left hungry so they would be ferocious.

Although the King was disappointed, in reality, he had not expected anyone to take up the
challenge. As he was telling his people to return home, he suddenly heard a distant splash. He rushed
to the other side of the palace and saw a man swimming in the state of panic. He was desperately
trying to keep away from the crocodiles. The people started to cheer for the brave young man. It was
a miracle that he survived. When he was out of the water, he shouted and demanded t know who

My Hero by Willis Hall

My dad's as brave as a dad can be,

I rate him Number One,
He's not afraid of the dead of night,
Or anything under the sun.
He's not afraid of a late-night film,
Full of horrors on the telly,
And is he afraid of skeletons?
Not dad, not on your Nelly!
He's not afraid of meeting ghosts,
He'd even smile and greet 'em,
And things that scare most dads the most,
My dad could just defeat 'em.
He's not afraid of vampires,
Or a wolf-man come to get him,
If Frankenstein's monster knocked on our
door,
He wouldn't let that upset him.
My dad's as brave as a dad can be,
And he's always ready to prove it.
So why, when a spider's in the bath,
Does Mum have to come and remove i
