Crocodile and Plover: Sometimes you will see the crocodile’s frightful mouth open and a little bird sitting in it. This tiny bird picks out the water creatures in the mouth of the crocodile. Those creatures were her food. The crocodile takes a nap with his mouth open and the bird will clean his mouth. A plover pays for the food bills by warning the crocodile of any danger. Funny!
Zebra and Ostrich: Now that is a strange pair, but they get along really well together. These two take turns to watch out for danger. On sunny days, when the ostrich can see much better and farther than the zebra, he is on a lookout. On a cloudy day, when the zebra can smell and hear better, zebra is the leader.

I’m so lucky to win the prize. I enjoy drawing and I have some computer skills, so I decided on making a cartoon named A Lovely Dog.
Firstly, I used a computer to draw a few pictures of a lovely dog. The pictures are a little different from each other. I made the dog wear glasses and a red hat so that it looked lovely and funny.
Secondly. I added colour to the pictures and used a computer to put the pictures together as a film.
Thirdly, I did the voice of the dog according to the pictures. The cartoon looked lively. I’ll try my best to make better cartoons later.
