On Thursday, Uncle King called Paul, “Paul, would you go camping with me this weekend ”
Paul said, “I’m not sure, Uncle King. Why do you want to go camping ”
“Well, I’m going to write a story about endangered animals for the newspaper. I think it will help with my writing if I go up to the mountains. I just won’t get a feel for nature if I stay in my apartment in the city.”
“Sure, I’ll go with you, " Paul said, “Don’t forget your camera.”
“I won’t.” Uncle King answered.
On Saturday morning, Uncle King and Paul got an early start. After they put up the tent, they sat down to relax. “It seems hard to believe that animals could be in danger in place as beautiful as this,” Paul said.
“You’re right,” Uncle King said. “That’s why my story is so important. In the past, uncontrolled hunting (捕猎) was the main reason for animal extinction (灭绝). But now, many wild animals in our country are protected by laws. These laws limit hunting.”
“Why are some animals still in danger now ” Paul asked.
“Some of their homes are destroyed (破坏) by pollution. Also, the land is used for buildings, farms, and highways. That leaves fewer places for animals to live. So some land has to be left as national parks for wildlife,” said Uncle King.
“I’m glad you invited me,” Paul said. “I just didn’t know how much animals depend on us. I think your story will help all of us.”

A group of frogs（青蛙）were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep hole. When the other frogs saw how deep the hole was, they told the two frogs that they were hopeless to live. But the two frogs didn’t believe it. 21 The other frogs kept telling them to stop and wait for their death. Finally, one of the two frogs gave up and fell down. Soon he died.
The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs shouted at him and told him to stop and just wait to die. 22
When he got out, the other frogs said, “ Didn’t you hear us ” The frog explained to them that he was deaf. 23
The story teaches us one lesson. 24 . An encouraging word to someone who is down can cheer him up and help him make it through difficulties, while a negative（消极的）word to someone who is down can make him give up and die. 25
