动物的爱 五星 1128
【文章梗概】我是一名消防员，在执行任务途中遇见一群受伤的小猫，它们的妈妈生死未卜，还惦念着孩子们。深受感动的我决定帮忙，幸运的是她们都勇敢地活下来了。
I am a New York City fireman. Being a firefighter has its grim side. When someone’s business or home is destroyed, it can break your heart. You see a lot of terror and sometimes even death. But the day I found Scarlett was different. That was a day about life. And love.
It was a Friday. We’d responded to an early morning alarm in Brooklyn at a burning garage. As I was getting my gear on, I heard the sound of cats crying. I couldn’t stop—I would have to look for the cats after the fire was put out.
This was a large fire, so there were other hook and ladder companies there as well. We had been told that everyone in the building had made it out safely. I sure hoped so—the entire garage was filled with flames, and it would have been futile for anyone to attempt a rescue anyway. It took a long time and many firefighters to finally bring the enormous blaze under control.
At that point I was free to investigate the cat noises, which I still heard. There continued to be a tremendous amount of smoke and intense heat coming from the building. I couldn’t see much, but I followed the meowing to a spot on the sidewalk about five feet away from the front of the garage. There, crying and huddled together, were three terrified little kittens. Then I found two more, one in the street and one across the street. They must have been in the building, as their fur was badly singed. I yelled for a box and out of the crowd around me, one appeared. Putting the five kittens in the box, I carried them to the porch of a neighboring house.
I started looking for a mother cat. It was obvious that the mother had gone into the burning garage and carried each of her babies, one by one, out to the sidewalk. Five separate trips into that raging heat and deadly smoke—it was hard to imagine. Then she had attempted to get them across the street, away from the building. Again, one at a time. But she hadn’t been able to finish the job. What had happened to her
A cop told me he had seen a cat go into a vacant lot near where I’d found the last two kittens. She was there, lying down and crying. She was horribly burnt: her eyes were blistered shut, her paws were blackened, and her fur was singed all over her body. In some places you could see her reddened skin showing through the burned fur. She was too weak to move anymore. I went over to her slowly, talking gently as I approached. I figured that she was a wild cat and I didn’t want to alarm her. When I picked her up, she cried out in pain, but she didn’t struggle. The poor animal reeked of burnt fur and flesh. She gave me a look of utter exhaustion and then relaxed in my arms as much as her pain would allow. Sensing her trust in me, I felt my throat tighten and the tears start in my eyes. I was determined to save this brave little cat and her family. Their lives were, literally, in my hands.
I put the cat in the box with the mewing kittens. Even in her pathetic condition, the blinded mother circled in the box and touched each kitten with her nose, one by one, to make sure they were all there and all safe. She was content, in spite of her pain, now that she was sure the kittens were all accounted for.
These cats obviously needed immediate medical care. I thought of a very special animal shelter out on Long Island, the North Shore Animal League, where I had taken a severely burned dog I had rescued eleven years earlier. If anyone could help them, they could.
I called to alert the Animal League that I was on my way with a badly burned cat and her kittens. Still in my smoke-stained fire gear, I drove my truck there as fast as I could. When I pulled into the driveway, I saw two teams of vets and technicians standing in the parking lot waiting for me. They whisked the cats into a treatment room— the mother on a table with one vet team and all the kittens on another table with the second team.
Utterly exhausted from fighting the fire, I stood in the treatment room, keeping out of the way. I didn’t have much hope that these cats would survive. But somehow, I just couldn’t leave them. After a long wait, the vets told me they would observe the kittens and their mother overnight, but they weren’t very optimistic about the mother’s chances of survival.
I returned the next day and waited and waited. I was about to completely give up hope when the vets finally came over to me. They told me the good news—the kittens would survive.
“And the mother ” I asked. I was afraid to hear the reply.
It was still too early to know.
I came back every day, but each day it was the same thing: they just didn’t know. About a week after the fire, I arrived at the shelter in a bleak mood, thinking, Surely if the mother cat was going to make it, she’d have come around by now. How much longer could she hover between life and death But when I walked in the door, the vets greeted me with big smiles and gave me the thumbs up sign! Not only was she going to be all right—in time she’d even be able to see again.
Now that she was going to live, she needed a name. One of the technicians came up with the name Scarlett, because of her reddened skin.
Knowing what Scarlett had endured for her kittens, it melted my heart to see her reunited with them. And what did mama cat do first Another head count! She touched each of her kittens again, nose to nose, to be sure they were all still safe and sound. She had risked her life, not once, but five times—and it had paid off. All of her babies had survived.
As a firefighter, I see heroism every day. But what Scarlett showed me that day was the height of heroism— the kind of bravery that comes only from a mother’s love.

Once there lived a kind man named Alvin in a small village with his wife. They had a little son. One day, as Alvin was returning home from a nearby village, he came across a baby mongoose (猫鼬) crying next to his mother’s dead body.
“Oh, what a poor creature!” thought Alvin. “If I leave him here, he will surely die.” He picked him up and took him home.
“Gowri, I found this little creature on my way home. Let us take care of him,” Alvin said to his wife. “Very well along with our son, I will take care of the mongoose too,” replied Gowri.
The mongoose grew up with a lot of love and care in their house. He slept next to their son in the cradle (摇篮), drank milk and played with the boy every day. The little mongoose’s days were full of joy. As both the boy and mongoose grew up, their friendship changed to a relationship between two brothers.
The mongoose grew up fast and as days went by, Gowri began to get doubts in her mind. “After all, this is a wild animal. Sooner or later, he will show his true colors,” she thought to herself. She put the mongoose’s bed separately and would watch him carefully whenever he played with her son.
One day when Alvin was away, Gowri decided to go to the river to fetch a pot of water. She looked around and saw her son sleeping soundly in his cradle. The mongoose was also asleep on the floor at the foot of the cradle. “It should take only a few minutes. I hope I can trust that mongoose not to harm my little son,” she said to herself and hurried to the river.
Suddenly, the mongoose woke up with a start. He had heard a very low noise. Looking up, the mongoose saw a large black snake crawling (爬行) in through a hole in the wall.
“The snake will harm my brother. Mother and Father are away. I will have to protect my little brother,” thought the mongoose, as the snake came crawling towards the cradle.

The brave little mongoose jumped quickly on the huge black snake. After a long, ferocious fight, the little mongoose finally managed to kill the snake. Just then, he heard Alvin’s wife returning. Joyfully, he ran out to meet his mother and tried telling her through his little animal signs that he had protected his little brother from a dreadful snake.
But as soon as Gowri saw blood on the mongoose’s mouth and teeth, she thought, “This wild animal has killed my little son.” In a fit of anger Alvin’s wife threw the pot full of water on the mongoose, killing him instantly. Entering the house with a heavy heart, she was amazed to see her little son lying in his cradle still deep in sleep. On the floor was a huge black snake with its ugly head bitten off. “Oh what have I done,” cried Alvin's wife. “I killed that faithful little mongoose who saved the life of my precious son.”

Joyfully, he ran out to meet his mother and tried telling her through his little animal signs that he had protected his little brother from a dreadful snake.
