The Watermelon

Watermelon is originated in southern Africa where it is found growing wild.

plant is actually a creeper which has shallow and wide roots. The watermelon is a type of
melon. It has smooth exterior rind with juicy interior flesh.

sometimes orange, yellow and red. It has many tiny black seeds in it. However, we can also
find watermelons which are seedless at the market nowadays. The seedless watermelons are
often sold at higher prices compared to the ordinary ones.
Watermelon contains about 6% of sugar and 92% of water by weight. Like many

Question 22
Read the story below and answer the questions that follow.

The Brilliant Answer

Emperor Khan was well known of putting riddles and puzzles

to his servants. He often asked questions which were strange and witty.
It took much wisdom to answer these questions. Once, he asked a very strange question. No
one knew the answer for that tricky question.

Emperor Khan glanced at his servants. As he looked, one by one the heads began
to hang low in search of an answer. It was at this moment that Marcus entered the palace.
Marcus who knew the nature of the Emperor quickly grasped the situation and asked, "May I
know the question so that I can try for an answer?".

The Emperor said, "How many crows are there in this city?"
Without even a moment’s thought, Marcus replied "There are fifty thousand five hundred and
eighty-nine crows, my lord".
"How can you be so sure?" asked the emperor.

Marcus said, "Make your men count, My Lord. If you find more crows it means some
have come to visit their relatives here. If you find less number of crows it means some have
gone to visit their relatives elsewhere". The Emperor was pleased very much by Marcus’
wittiness

while he was walking with his daughter at Taman Rekreasi.

According to his daughter Mala, she and her father Mr Prem Nathan would
usually go for their walks at seven every morning. However, they went out later that
morning because it rained heavily since the night before. She said this would not
have happened if they had followed to their usual walking time.

A local council spokesman, Encik Kasim said that the weak and falling
branches of the trees in the park were already cut last month. He said that the branch
