A
thousand
years
ago
Hong
Kong
was
covered
by
a
lot
of
trees.
As
more
and
more
people
came
to
live
in
Hong
Kong,
these
trees
were
cut
down
and
burnt.
Now
there
is
1
forest
left,
though
there
are
still
some
small
areas
covered
with
trees.
We
call
these
woods.
Elephants,
tigers
and
many
other
animals
were
living
in
the
2
forest.
When
people
came
to
live
in
Hong
Kong,
the
plants
began
to
die
out.
Early
farmers
grew
rice
and
3
pigs
and
chickens
in
the
valleys.
They
cut
down
the
trees
and
burnt
them.
They
needed
fire
to
keep
themselves
4
in
winter,
to
cook
their
food
and
to
keep
away
the
dangerous
animals.
Elephants
quickly
disappeared(消失)
5
there
was
not
enough
food
for
them.
So
6
most
of
the
wolves
and
tigers.
Monkeys
and
many
other
animals
soon
7
in
the
same
way.
You
might
think
that
there
are
no
longer
any
animals
in
Hong
Kong
except
in
the
zoos.
But
there
are
8
about
36
different
animals
living
there.
One
of
the
most
interesting
of
Hong
Kongs
animals
is
the
barking
deer.
These
are
beautiful
little
animals
with
a
rich
brown
coat
and
a
white
patch
under
the
tail.
They
look
like
deer
but
they
are
much
smaller.
They
are
9
than
two
feet
high.
They
make
a
noise
rather
like
a
dog
barking.
In
Hong
Kong
the
barking
deer
has
only
a
real
enemy
—
10 .
People
hunt
these
little
animals
though
it
is
illegal(违法的) .
There
are
now
not
many
barkin
