 I woke up at eight o’clock a.m. and went to the Press Center to check the daily schedule of
briefings and press conferences. It was usually held by the United Nation officials or disaster mitigation
team.
It was challenging to visit different refugee camps to find soft stories, human interest stories. After
that I went back to the Press Center to cover the press conferences of the day.
It was heart breaking when I saw these survivors fight for food and secondhand clothing. Unfortunately as
they said, the food and clothing were limited and inadequate. Emerging to glaring, fool noon, it was time to
go back to Press Center to write stories and race against time. I was always fearing that the internet would
come crushing down.
After everything was done, only then I remembered to eat. Most times, I only ate once a day
because I always had to rush and again it was difficult to find food. I had to travel quite far. I needed to
spend a 30 to 45 minutes by car just to find fresh food.

Once, as a lion lay sleeping in his den, a naughty little mouse ran up his tail, onto his back, up his
mane and danced and jumped on his head, so that the lion woke up.
Lion angry grabbed the mouse and, holding him in his large claws, roared in anger. 'How dare you
wake me up! Don't you know that I am King of the Beasts? Anyone who disturbs my rest deserves to die! I
shall kill you and eat you!'
The terrified mouse, shaking and trembling, begged the lion to let him go. 'Please don't eat me Your
Majesty! I did not mean to wake you it was a mistake. I was only playing. Please let me go - and I promise I
will be your friend forever. Who knows but one day I could save your life?'
The lion looked at the tiny mouse and laughed. 'You save my life? What an absurd idea!' he said
scornfully. 'But you have made me laugh, and put me into a good mood again, so I shall let you go.' And
the lion opened his claws and let the mouse go free. 'Oh thank you, your majesty,' squeaked the mouse,
and scurried away as fast as he could.
A few days later the lion was caught in a hunter's snare. Struggle as he might, he couldn't break free
and became even more entangled in the net of ropes. He let out a roar of anger that shook the forest.
Every animal heard it, including the tiny mouse.
The mouse was rushing to the source of its roar and he found the lion was powerless. The mouse
then bit the rope that caught the lion so that the lion can escape from the trap. The lions are very grateful to
the mouse, and they became friends best forever.
