going to India!” “ Why India?”, the mother asked him. “India is a great country. It’s warm there. There are a lot of beautiful flowers and animals. A great number of elephants live there. I will ride elephants and drink India tea”, answered Snowy. “ But there are a lot of snakes in India. They can bite you and you will fall ill”, his mother replied. “You are right. I’ll go to Africa then. It’s hot there. It never rains and snows. The sun shines brightly. I don’t want to see snow and ice any more. I’ll find new friends in this country”, the little bear cub dreamed. “Oh, dear! It’s very dangerous in Africa. There are a lot of poachers who kill wild animals. You ‘ll feel very bad because it’s too hot. There are a lot of sharks and crocodiles in the water. You’ll be afraid every time you swim!” Mummy persuaded him. “Yes, mum. You are absolutely right. I’d better to stay at home. I’m used to sleeping in my snow bed and swimming in a cold water. I like eating ice cream. In Arctic I can skate, ski and play snowballs with my friends. There is no place like home!”
