Once a traveler wanted to go across desert. He had walked in the desert for three days without any water. He was exhausted (筋疲力尽的) from walking. When he felt hopeless, he suddenly found a small house. He pulled his tired body inside. This was a small airless house and in the corner he discovered a water pump (抽水机) .
He was so excited and went forward to draw (抽取) water, but no water came out no matter how hard he tried. Too tired to do anything more, he fell to the ground. Then he saw a small bottle. On the bottle was a note, which read. "You must pour the water from the bottle into the pump before you draw water! Don't forget, before you leave, refill the bottle with water!" He opened the bottle and found it was filled with water! He was so happy.
At that moment he thought, "It might be a little selfish (自私的) , but as long as I drink the water in the bottle, I can be sure to leave this room alive! However, if I do as the note says and pour the only water into the pump and no water comes out, I will die of thirst. Should I take the risk or not?" It was five minutes later that he chose to pour the only water into the pump and began to draw water. After a minute, water started to come out He made the right choice.
After he had drunk enough water, he refilled the bottle. He added the following words after the note: Before you get something, you should first learn to pay.
（自然生态）If you travel in New Zealand， you may find some very interesting things. It is called "New Zealand Four Strange Things".
Have you ever seen that cows are lined up？ New Zealand is so large. It is impossible for people to milk cows by hand. So the farmers trained the leading cow to take the cows to the milking station twice a day. The leading cow has a sensor（传感器）on its head. When it is time for milking， the sensor warns the leading cow to take the lead. |
Horses are mainly raised for viewing（观赏）and racing， so the coat color is very important. Wearing sunscreen（防晒）clothes on horses can avoid the harm from the sun. The clothes on horses are filled with weights that are the same weight of the rider. When the weights are replaced by the rider during the race， "the horses will be used to running with weights" just like the sportsman running with sandbags. |
Sheep in New Zealand used to have tails. Because they poop（排便）when they're born， grass flies are interested in them. Grass flies lay their eggs in the tails of the baby sheep， causing illness and death. Then people tie their tails. As time passes， the sheep become tailless. This improves the survival rate（成活率）. |
New Zealand's alpacas（羊驼）were introduced from South America. They are quite different from two－humped camels（双峰驼）. An alpaca weighs about 55 kg to 65 kg. Its shape is like a sheep. Only one grown－up male（雄性）alpaca can be found in each group. It is the leading one. Alpacas are gentle， clever and human. |
