SCOTLAND
A lot of people think that Scotland
is a part of England
but this is untrue. Scotland
is, in fact, a part of Great
Britain. It is governed from London but in many
ways it is a separate nation. It has its own capital city, Edinburgh, its
own laws and its own stamps. It even has its own language, Gaelic, spoken now
by only a few people on the islands.
There are only about five million Scots, and most of them live in
the southern half of country called ‘Lowlands’,
where the major cities are situated.
But most holiday
visitors to Scotland go to the Highlands because of the high mountains and
deep valleys, clean rivers and cold ‘lochs’. The Highlands are home to many
rare birds and animals, like the golden eagle and the wildcat, which are
found nowhere else in Britain. It is a lonely, wild and empty land. Only
two per cent of the British population live there and the population is
getting smaller all the time. There is very little work so most of the
young people who are born there have to move south to find a job. Perhaps
the Highlands of Scotland will become the last great wilderness of Europe.

Little
Brother, Little Sister
Maltreated by their
stepmother, who was a witch, a little brother and sister fled into the woods.
After running for a while,
the brother said:
'I'm so thirsty. Let's find a spring and have a drink.'
As the young boy bent down to drink,
his sister heard a voice which said: 'Who drinks from me will turn into a
fawn.' it was the witch! Too late, the sister tried to prevent her brother from
drinking. The young boy changed at once into a fawn. In tears, the little girl
made a lead and collar out of her belt, and led the fawn off into the woods.
There they found an abandoned cottage and lived together, far from any danger.
One day, however, the king was
hunting in the woods, and he spied the fawn, which could not resist the urge to
wander away from the cottage. The king and his hunters chased the fawn all the
way back home. There, the king followed it into the cottage, where he found a
young girl stroking the frightened animal. She was so beautiful and gentle that
the king fell in love with her at once. He asked her to be his wife, and his
words caused the maiden to cry for joy. When one of her tears fell on the fawn,
it changed back to her brother once more. Their goodness and love had overcome
the witch's evil spell, and they lived safely and happily with the king for
ever after.
