 A thousand years ago,Hong Kong was covered by a thick forest. As more and more people came to 1        in Hong Kong,these trees were cut down and burnt. Now there is 2        forest left,though there are still some small areas covered with trees. We call these woods.

Elephants,tigers and many 3        animals were living in the thick forest. When people came to live in Hong Kong,the 4        began to die out. Early farmers grew rice and 5        pigs and chickens in the valleys. They cut down the trees and burnt them.

They are less than two feet  12       .  They make a noise rather like a dog 13        In Hong Kong,the barking deer has only a real enemy- 14       People hunt these little animals though it is illegal. There are now not many barking deer left. So it is important 15        people to protect wild animals.
