everybody up. We thought somebody was moving about. Lingling's uncle said it was an animal. We came out without making any noise, and found it was just a hungry monkey looking for food.
This morning, we climbed Mount Tianzi! From the top we hoped to see the lakes and forests. But it was a pity that it was cloudy. We could only see the mountain tops above the clouds.
Presentation
Then we walked down the path, along a river, past trees and other plants and back to the camp. I pulled a leaf off a plant, but Lingling’s uncle said that it was wrong to pull leaves off plants and that we should protect everything here. I was very sorry.
Tomorrow we’re going to Dongting Lake, the second largest freshwater lake in China. We’ll
to back home next week! Wish you were here!
Love,
Betty

=Don’t wake the baby up.
Let’s wake him up now.
