What to Focus On

- All living beings have a right to share nature’s gifts.
- Humans should not harm animals just because they use the same resources.
- Violence causes more harm and should be avoided.

- Raucous – very loud and harsh sound.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
The speaker is angry at the animals for stealing his coconuts and wants to remove them.
The word 'trespassers' means the animals are breaking the law and should be punished.
The wife is the bad character because she wants to kill the rats and bats.
Memory Tips
