Hi!
These texts are for my young pupils (12-13) for our chapter about fantastic creatures. It is important to read distinctly and slowly so that they can understand the descriptions. Thank you!
THE KAPPA
The Kappa is a Japanese water demon that lives in ponds and rivers. It looks like a monkey with fish scales.
It feeds on human blood, but it will not attack you if you throw a cucumber at him with your name on it!
THE MANTICORE
The Manticore is a very dangerous and rare beast from Greece. It has the head of a man, the body of a lion and the tail of a scorpion. It devours its preys, and its sting causes instant death.
THE OCCAMY
The Occamy lives in the Far East and India. It is a plumed, two-legged creature with wings and a serpentine body. It feeds on rats, birds, and it kidnaps monkeys! It is aggressive when it defends its eggs.
