Maradona Park, Jhigatola,
Dhaka-1207Dear Nafis

How are you? I received your letter. You wanted to know about the things some animals and insects do to us for our help.

Animals and insects help us. They help us in many ways. The lizard helps us by eating mosquitoes. He saves us from getting bitten by the mosquitoes. The frog is also the friend of the people. It eats insects. It saves crops from harmful insects. The crow eats dirty things and keeps the village clean.
The sparrow puts seeds in the soil. The plants grow and we get oxygen and foods from plants to keep us alive. The bees collect nectar from flowers. They take the nectar to the hive and we get the honey. Thus, the animals and insects help us.
No more today. 
Your dear friend,
Rakin Islam
