The White Oryx

“There! Near the trees. Can you see them? They’re the white oryx of Arabia.”

 

I read “The White Oryx”.

Abdullah and Mandy were in the desert. Abdullah was an oryx ranger and Mandy took some photos of the oryx to write a book about the animals of Arabia. When they saw the oryx, the oryx look up and run away quickly. According to the radio information, poachers appeared. Abdullah and Mary rode into their car and drove away quickly. On the way, Mandy found poacher’s car and some blood in the sand. They followed the tracks, an oryx was dead under the tree. The oryx was shot by the poacher and the oryx’s son was taken by poacher’s truck. Abdullah said to the police to bring a helicopter.

After that, their car was shot and they were in crisis to be killed by them. However, one helicopter came and they could help a child oryx.

 

I read this book because I like animals. However, I didn’t know about oryx, so it is happy for me to read this heartful story and understand about oryx.
