Poachers kill a rhino. The rhino is a mother. She has a baby. He is a boy. He is only four months old.

People find the baby rhino. He is at his mother’s body. He is very sad. He cries. People take the rhino to a centre. Other people help him there.

However, the little rhino is still sad. He cannot sleep. Somebody must be with him. He sleeps when somebody is with him.

Difficult words: poacher (somebody who kills animals), however (but).
