Text Blog Entry Eight - An article about my country in the international newspaper

Knut is a big star in Germany, all the kids love him and people are waiting in long queues to visit Knut every day. He is maybe the most popular Polar Bear in the world. He is well known in many countries and subject of a huge merchandise wave. 'The Guardian' boosted this popularity by its article from may 13th.
He lives in a zoo in Berlin and there are shows every day for the crowds to watch Knut and his caretaker in action. The director of the zoo is aware of the big success of his little habitant and says: "Knut has become a medium of communication..." Proposals from USA, Japan, China and Taiwan have been offered for getting licences on the new brand called Knut.
However, the director wants to use Knuts influence just for environmental dialogue. The bear is mascot of environment conferences and inspires people all over the world but there are others too who want to harm the little Knut and even sent a threat to the zoo, on April.
