Now many people like to keep dogs as their pets. But how did dogs become humans' close friends?

    In some places of Europe (欧洲), about 10,000 years ago, some wild (野生的) dogs often came to human's houses to find food. The wild dogs looked different from the ones today. They looked like wolves (狼). At first, they felt ① frightened. They always stood and looked for a short time. Then they got the food and ran away. Sometimes the young dogs couldn't run fast and people caught them. People trained them and the young dogs grew up with the help of people. Slowly, the wild dogs became home dogs. They could make home safe when people were away. They helped people hunt (狩猎). They helped people keep warm on cold nights. ② Sometimes, they could smell and hear danger before people could. In some cold places, they helped people pull (拉) things people need.

    Now there are more than 400 different kinds of dogs in the world. And they look different from each other. The number and kind are growing all the time. Today, some people mainly (主要地) regard dogs as pets. In fact, dogs are really our close friends. We should protect them from being killed.

    One by one, different animals tried to fix the hole and they even tried to show that they were better than others and everyone wanted to be the animals that could save the ship. Each animal tried its best but still couldn't help. Everyone was frightened and worried that the boat would sink. That was, until the bee started talking. The bee explained to everyone how bees always worked together as a team, each one doing the job they were best at. On hearing this, all the animals set about working together, each one playing their part by using their won special talent. The birds lift the ship up with their mouths, and moved their wings greatly to make the boat up above the water a little.

    And so, by working together for two and half an hour, the animals stopped the water form coming into the ship completely and they were safe in the end.
