THINK ABOUT IT 翻译：想一想

What different animals have you seen living well together? 翻译：你看见过什么不同的动物好好生活在一起了吗？

Dear Li Ming, This week we learned about some interesting animals. I used to think only the same animals live together. But yesterday I learned that sometimes different animals live together. Do you know about the rhino? It is big and strong. But it always lets a small bird, an egret, sit on its back. Are they having fun together? Maybe, but mainly they are helping each other. The egret helps the rhino stay healthy by cleaning its skin. It also makes noise to warn the rhino about coming danger. The rhino helps the egret get food easily. How? It scares small insects hiding in the grass, and the egret eats them. Isn't that interesting? Danny 翻译：亲爱的李明， 本周我们了解了一些有趣的动物。 我过去常常认为只有相同的动物可以生活在一起。但是昨天，我才得知有时不同的动物也可以生活在一起。你知道犀牛吗？它高大而又强壮。但是它总是让一只小鸟、一只白鹭坐在它的背上。 它们在一起玩得开心吗？也许吧，但是它们主要是互相帮助。白鹭通过清理它的皮肤帮助犀牛保持健康。它也会制造噪音以警告犀牛要注意即将到来的危险。犀牛帮助白鹭轻易地得到食物。怎么做呢？它会吓跑藏在草里面的小昆虫，于是白鹭就可以吃它们了。 那不是很有趣吗？ 丹尼

Dear Danny, What a beautiful relationship they have! Sometimes different animals get together not just to survive, but also for friendship. Have you heard the story of Owen and Mzee? Last week we read that story in class. It's a very sad story, but it has a very happy ending. Owen, a baby hippo, lost his parents in a big storm. Mzee is a 130-year-old tortoise. The two found each other and became good friends. They ate, slept and swam together. That's a true story of friendship! It touched many people's hearts. 'How do they understand each other?' I asked Ms. Liu. She said, 'Good friends can show they care without words.' She's right. Friendship truly has no boundaries. Li Ming 翻译：亲爱的丹尼， 它们有多么美好的关系啊！有时不同的动物聚集在一起不仅是为了生存，而且是为了友谊。你听说过河马和海龟的故事吗？上周我们在课堂上读到了那个故事。 它是一个非常悲伤的故事，但是它有一个非常幸福的结局。一只小河马欧文在一场大风暴中失去了它的父母。恩泽是一只130岁的海龟。两人发现了彼此，并成为了好朋友。它们一起吃，一起睡觉，一起游泳。 那是一个真实的友谊故事！它感动了许多人。“它们怎样理解彼此呢？”我问刘老师。她说，“好朋友不用说话也可以表达它们对彼此的关心。” 她说得很对。真正的友谊没有界限。 李明
