A monkey lived happily in the forest. One day, he found some red apples. They looked delicious, so he took one in each hand. When he tried to eat one of the apples, it hurt his teeth. It turned out that these apples were made of wood. Though he couldn’t eat them, he decided to keep them.
On his way home, the monkey found some bananas. However, he couldn’t let go of the wooden apples to get them. He was afraid of losing the apples, so he just walked away.
As he held the apples longer, it started to feel heavier. The more he looked at the fruits in the forest, the more he grew hungry and unhappy.
Finally, he gave up the apples and went back for his meal. He was happy again.

Over time, the cuckoo (布谷鸟) has learned to get other birds to care for its babies. The cuckoo is an amazing bird. Most birds lay their eggs and look after them until their babies hatch out. Then they feed their babies until they are ready to leave the nest.
Some birds are not such good parents. Cuckoos lay their eggs in the nest of other birds and do not care for their own babies. They get other birds to act as the parents. The other birds raise the young cuckoos as well as their own babies!

The young cuckoo sometimes even push the other babies out of the nest. The young cuckoo has a loud cry and is often bigger than the other baby birds, it will take all the food and the space in the nest.
If the cuckoo lay around 25 eggs each year in the nests of other birds. This means that many other birds spend all their time looking after young cuckoos instead of their own babies. Some birds have learned to recognize the cuckoos’ eggs and they push them out of their nests. But the cuckoos have also found ways of fooling (欺骗) the other birds. They can change their eggs to make them look just like the other birds’ own eggs.

Animals in the Zoo
There is a big zoo in our city. It isn’t far from my home. On weekends, my father often takes me to the zoo. There I can see many kinds of animals like elephants, tigers, pandas, monkeys, lions and giraffes. They are from different places. Because some of them are dangerous, they have to live in the cages. I think they aren’t happy because they aren’t free. They should live in the forest.
