Snakes escape on plane

There were twelve 15cm long snakes being flown across Australia. They were found missing from their container when the plane landed in Melbourne and people first thought that they were eaten by the other snakes. But then the people realized that the snakes had escaped and the passengers had to be moved to another plane. An airline spokesmen said, "They're not endangered so a decision was made to fumigate. If these snakes turn up they will be very much dead snakes." The baby snakes, which can grow to about a meter long were being transported in the cargo hold of the aircraft in a bag inside a plastic foam box with air holes.

Tiring morning...
I wake up at about 6:30 each day, I go to my bathroom to take a shower. After that I brush my teeth then I wash my face and prepare to eat breakfast. My breakfast usually consists of oatmeal and a glass of milk. By that time it is around 7:50 and I go outside to take the school bus.
The children in Africa would probably wake up earlier than 6:30 each day, because they have to do chores. Their breakfast would probably be even more plain than oatmeal and a glass of milk. The children in Africa would have to walk to school because they are too poor to pay for the bus or their school doesn’t have a bus.

School time
Class starts with the first block, humanities. There are four blocks each day. We use computer at school everyday to do homework and stuff.
The children in Africa would not have a computer to use because they would rather spend the money on food or daily supplies.

Time to go home
After school, the school bus takes me home at about 5:15 PM. The ride home is boring and I can’t do anything. I usually arrive back at my house around 5:40.
Children in Africa would have to rush home to do chores for their family.
Homework
Everyday, once I get home, I go to my study and do homework. I usually spend one hour doing homework unless the teacher assigned us to do more than one hour of work.
Children in Africa would have to hurry to do their homework because they have to do their chores. Sometimes they might not have 1 whole hour to do homework.
Wonderful food
I eat dinner at around 6:30 PM and I eat until 7:00 PM. Sometimes my parents take me out to a restaurant to eat dinner.
The people in Africa would not have the money to eat such nice food. Their food would be more plain cause of their poorness.

Book worm
After dinner, I mess around and read if I have anything to read. Sometimes I get really bored and go chat with my friends. I love to listen to music and when I am at home, I usually have my music on.
Reading books or listening to music would be impossible for people in Africa. They simply have to much chores to do that.

Time for bed...
I sleep at around 10 everyday. My parents don’t like me staying up to late because they always say that it’s bad for your health and that you won’t get enough sleep so that you can’t pay attention in class the next day.
Children in Africa would have to sleep later than 10 everyday because they have so much chores to do.
