It’s sometimes reported that strange objects have been seen high up in the sky. These unidentified flying objects—UFOs have made a lot of people interested. Some of the reports about them are difficult to believe. Some have been explained(解释) in scientific ways, others have never been explained.

It is not easy to decide whether a report is true or not. One report of UFOs came from a British plane on its way from New York to London in 1954. The British plane was flying over an island at 19 000 feet when the captain noticed that something was on their left and a little lower than their plane. It was about five miles away.

“It was not one object but several,” the captain said. “We saw one big and six smaller objects. I sent out radio waves to report about them and I received the answer that the other planes were coming out to meet us. Before the planes arrived, the smaller objects entered the big object. The big object then became smaller and moved away fast.”

Once there was a king. He had two ministers. One was kind and the other was bad. The bad minister often said bad words about the kind minister before the king. The king was very angry.

One day the king said to the bad minister, “Write two words on two pieces of paper. Write ‘live’ on one piece and ‘die’ on the other. Then put them in a jar and tell him to choose. If he takes out the paper with ‘die’ on it, I’ll kill him at once.”

The bad minister was quite happy. He wrote the words on two pieces of paper.

The kind man came. He knew the bad minister wanted to kill him. He also knew the words on the two pieces were both “die”. But he knew what to do. Later the king had to keep his word and let the kind minister go. Do you know what the kind man did about this at that time?

Animals are our friends. We should love each other. I am always thinking protecting animals is protecting ourselves.

If I can be a volunteer, I will work harder and do more meaningful things to protect animals. I will tell more people to love animals like me. I must try my best to make the world more united.

Thanks for your listening!
