3 TEXT A 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD Every Sunday morning I take a light jog around a park near my home. There s a lake located in one corner of the park. Each time I jog by this lake, I see the same elderly woman sitting at the water s edge with a small metal cage beside her. This past Sunday my curiosity got the best of me, so I stopped jogging and walked over to her. As I got closer, I realized that the metal cage was in fact a small trap. There were three turtles, unharmed, slowly walking around the base of the trap. She had a fourth turtle in her lap that she was carefully scrubbing with a spongy brush. Hello, I said. I see you here every Sunday morning. If you don t mind my nosiness, I d love to know what you re doing with these turtles.

4 She smiled. I m cleaning off their shells, she replied. Anything on a turtle s shell, like algae or scum, reduces the turtle s ability to absorb heat and hinders its ability to move around. It can also corrode and weaken the shell over time. Wow! That s really nice of you! I exclaimed. She went on: I spend a couple of hours each Sunday morning, relaxing by this lake and helping these little guys out. It s my own strange way of making a difference. But don t most freshwater turtles live their whole lives with algae and scum hanging from their shells? I asked. Yep, sadly, they do, she replied. I scratched my head and asked if she did not think her time could be spend better as her efforts are kind and all, but there are fresh water turtles living in lakes all around the world, and 99% of these turtles don t have kind people like her to help them clean off their shells.

5 I said she should not take any offense but I was wondering how exactly her localized efforts are making a difference. The woman giggled aloud. She then looked down at the turtle in her lap, scrubbed off the last piece of algae from its shell, and said, Sweetie, if this little guy could talk, he d tell you I just made all the difference in his world. The moral of this story is that you can change the world maybe not all at once, but one person, one animal, and one good deed at a time. Wake up every morning and actz like what you do, makes a difference because it does.

TEXT C GENERAL MONEY SAVING TIPS In this current economic crunch, here are some good, practical ways to spend your money wisely. Use cash for non-bill spending such as eating out, petrol, and groceries. Spending cash makes your money more real, and prevents you from overspending. Put your cash in envelopes each month and mark them clearly for their purposes. When they are empty, that means your money is spent.

10 If you cannot afford to put R1000 away a month to save, start by putting R50 R100 away every week. You will not really feel the loss but the reward will pay off at the end of the month. Do not get catalogues or emailed announcements from companies trying to sell you stuff. Their announcements of sales or cool new products make it very tempting to buy something you do not need. You could save a lot of money by just running around the block, track or on the road and maybe by buying some simple weights and bars. Other exercises, push-ups, squats, lunges can be done at home instead of paying an expensive monthly fee for services you do not use. Eat at home. Make home-made pizzas with a ready made crust, some sauce, cheese and veggies.
