The story behind the writing

task

In the dry South African Veld fires are frequently

caused when vultures, having landed safely on

overhead power lines, try to take off again.

Being very heavy birds they can only take off bymighty flapping of their long wings. If a vulture

provides a contact between two high tension

cables, it is instantly electrocuted and falls to the

ground below in a ball of flames. This oftenstarts major fires.
