Yanqing tried its best to develop in three key fields: modem horticulture (园艺学)，tourism

Have you ever met such a thing You may be walking in a park on a rainy day when a small
frog(青蛙) falls on your head. Then another comes down and another and another all round you. It
is raining frogs!! Can this be true Yes, it can! One Roman man wrote about frogs raining from the
sky almost 2,000 years ago.
While frog rain has happened for centuries, we only have some records(记录) throughout
history. The earliest records go back to the first century AD in Japan, Serbia, Uruguay, and
Hungary. In recent years, it seems that the United States and Britain have seen this strange rain.
5
In fact, there are not only frogs rain but also fish rain and other small animal rain in the world.
This can sometimes happen when a very strong wind blows over the tops of seas, lakes or oceans.
Small frogs and fish are not very heavy, so the winds can pick them up to the sky and then they
come back down with rain.
If you are interested in what “raining frogs” looks like, you can go to watch the 1999 movie
Magnolia. In the movie, the family met a big frog rain in a small town in America. It made many
movie goers disgusted. They said they didn’t want to see it in real life. They would be too afraid to
walk out of their homes.
