Read the following extract and rewrite it from the point of view of Oliver:
You may begin with: I had searched for Orlando everywhere.......
Oliver told them his story. He had searched for Orlando everywhere in the forest, he said, and at last, tired and hungry, he had fallen asleep under a tree. On his way from Rosalind's cottage, Orlando had seen his brother lying asleep. A big snake had curled round Oliver's neck and was just going to bite him when it saw Orlando and slipped away into a bush. And then Orlando saw that a hungry lion was waiting under the same bush, ready to kill Oliver as soon as he woke up. Orlando thought of all his brother's unkindness to him in the past. Why should he risk his own life to save his brother who had always been cruel to him? Twice he turned away to leave Oliver, but he had a kind and noble heart and at last, decided that he could not leave his brother to die. So he fought the lion. The fierce animal tore and bit his arm, but he managed to kill it. Oliver, wakened by the noise of the fight, saw that Orlando was risking his own life to save him. He was filled with shame at all his past unkindness to his young brother, and he begged Orlando to forgive him. Orlando took his brother to the Duke, who gave him food and clothes. Orlando said nothing about the wound the lion had given him, but it had been bleeding all the time, and suddenly he fell to the ground and fainted from loss of blood.

I had searched for Orlando everywhere in the forest and at last, I became tired and hungry that I fell asleep under a tree. On his way from Rosalind's cottage, Orlando saw me lying asleep. He also saw a big snake curled around my neck, just about to bite me. But when the snake saw my brother it slipped away into a bush. Then Orlando saw that a hungry lion was waiting under the same bush, ready to kill me as soon as I woke up.
Orlando twice decided to turn away and leave me, because of the unkindness I had done to him. But he has a kind and a noble heart and at last, decided that he could not leave me to die. So he fought the lion. Hearing the noise I woke up and saw, how he had risked his own life to save me. Suddenly I was filled with shame recalling all of my past unkind deeds against him.
Orlando took me to the Duke who gave me food and clothes. Orlando said nothing about the wound the lion had given him but it was bleeding profusely, and suddenly he fell to the ground and fainted from the loss of blood.

[You may begin with: Charles: Hi Orlando! I am a famous wrestler...........]
Frederick had a very famous wrestler, called Charles, in his court. He was champion of the country, and had fought many brave and strong young men. Now, Orlando was a fine wrestler, too, and decided to try his strength against Charles. Charles came to see Oliver about this, asking him to persuade Orlando to give up his idea.
'I am a professional wrestler, sir' Charles explained to Oliver, and I must always fight to win, in order to keep my reputation. Anyone who fights me runs the risk of being badly hurt. Please warn your younger brother, and persuade him to change his mind.'
But the wicked Oliver thought this was a good opportunity to get rid of Orlando, so he told Charles all kinds of lies about the young man. He pretended that Orlando was bad and ungrateful, and deserved any punishment which Charles could give him. 'I would rather you broke his neck than his finger.' Oliver said, 'and you have my permission to do what you like with the boy.'
So Charles promised to do his best to kill Orlando. 'If he comes to the fight tomorrow, I'll give him his payment,' Charles said, 'If he can walk away after I have finished with him. I'll never wrestle again.'

You may begin with: Orlando: Stop and eat no more !]
The Duck Senior and his followers were sitting down to a meal one day when Orlando
rushed out from among the trees, his sword in his hand. 'Stop and eat no more !' he
cried.
The Duke and his friends asked him what he wanted. 'Food', said Orlando. 'I am almost dying of hunger.'
They asked him to sit down and eat, but he would not do so. He told them that his old
servant was in the wood, dying of hunger,. 'I will not eat a bite until he has been fed,'
Orlando said.
So the good Duke and his followers helped him to bring Adam to their hiding-place,
and Orlando and the old man were fed and taken care of. When the Duke learned that
Orlando was a son of his old friend Sir Rowland de Boys, he welcomed him gladly to
his forest court.
Orlando lived happily with the duke and his friends, but he had not forgotten the lovely
Rosalind. She was always in his thoughts and every day he wrote poetry about her,
pinning it on the trees in the forest. 'There trees shall be my books', he said, 'so that
everyone who looks in the forest will be able to read how sweet and good Rosalind is'.
