Welcome to the Animal Corner behind Room 12.
Two students look after the corner each week. Their names are on the line beside the door. If an animal looks sick, tell a teacher at once; do not try to help it yourself.
The corner is open at noon and after school, but not in the morning, because the animals rest then. Students who come in the morning will be asked to leave. On Friday we clean everything, so the corner closes at three.
歡迎來到 12 教室後面的動物角。
每週由兩位學生負責照顧動物角，名字寫在門邊那一行上。如果動物看起來生病，請立刻告訴老師，不要自己想辦法處理。
動物角在中午和放學後開放，早上不開放，因為動物那時在休息。早上來的學生會被請離開。星期五要大掃除，所以三點就關閉。
Dear Mrs. Lee,
I live in the house at the corner of Bean Road, two doors from yours. Yesterday evening I saw a gray cat with a short tail under my car. It would not come to me, and it left before I could look closely.
I remember that your cat is gray. Is yours still at home? If it is missing, I can leave some food in my garden tonight and send you a photo if it comes back. Please do not worry too much; cats certainly stay away for a day or two sometimes and then walk in as if nothing has happened.
My phone is on all evening. Just knock if you would rather talk.

親愛的李太太：
我住在豆路轉角那棟房子，和您家隔兩戶。昨天傍晚我看到一隻短尾巴的灰貓在我車底下。牠不肯靠近我，我還來不及看清楚牠就走了。
我記得您的貓是灰色的。您的貓還在家嗎？如果牠不見了，我今晚可以在花園裡放一些食物，如果牠回來我會傳照片給您。請不要太擔心；貓確實有時會在外面待個一兩天，然後就像沒事一樣走回來。
我的電話整晚都開著。您想當面談的話，直接來敲門就好。

Ask a child to name an animal in danger, and you will hear lion, whale, or bear. You will not hear the name of an ant, and yet more than half of all animals on this planet are insects.
This matters because insects do work that nothing else can do. They help flowers make fruit, they clean away dead leaves, and they feed the birds and frogs above them. Take them away, and the line of life above them falls too.
Insects are also simple to help. A garden with a few wild corners, a light turned off at night, a section of grass left tall: none of this costs money, and you do not have to be a genius to do such things. The hardest part is not the effort. It is learning to care about an animal we have been taught to brush away.
請一個孩子說出一種瀕危動物，你會聽到獅子、鯨魚或熊。你不會聽到螞蟻的名字，然而這個星球上超過一半的動物是昆蟲。
這件事很重要，因為昆蟲做的是別的生物做不到的工作。牠們幫助花朵結果、清除落葉，也餵養牠們上方的鳥類與青蛙。把牠們拿走，上面整條生命線也會崩塌。
昆蟲也很容易幫。一座留有幾處野生角落的花園、夜裡關掉的一盞燈、一區任其長高的草地：這些都不花錢，而且做這些事也不必是天才。最難的不是力氣，而是學會去在乎一種我們從小被教著揮開的動物。
