Description
Backpacking Dogs In a big park in the UK, many dogs wear backpacks… on their stomachs! Why? 在英國一個公園裡,許多小狗肚子兩邊綁著背包,這是為甚麼呢? A long time ago, the UK had wolves. The wolves walked a lot. They walked in forests. They walked in tall grass. Seeds caught on their fur. They walked some more. Seeds fell off their fur. And new plants grew in new places. 很久以前在英國有野狼,牠們在森林間走動,皮毛會黏到種子。狼群到處走,種子跟著掉到別的地方,長出新的植物。 But the UK doesn't have wolves now. And this big park wanted lots of new plants. It needed to spread seeds in many places. 現在英國沒有野狼,但是想要在這座公園很快種出很多植物,該怎麼做呢? Lots of people and their dogs come to this park. The dogs love to walk everywhere there. Hmmmm … dogs, wolves, dogs, wolves, dogs… Maybe dogs can spread seeds too! Faster than wolves! 許多人帶著狗狗來公園裡玩,狗狗也很喜歡到處走,也許牠們可以幫忙播種! Park workers put seeds in small backpacks. The backpacks have small holes. The holes let the seeds fall one by one. 工作人員把種子放在有小洞的背包裡。 The workers ask people to put these backpacks on their dog's stomach. The dogs walk. The seeds fall. And now some new plants are growing! 主人們讓小狗綁上這些背包,牠們走路時,種子會從洞裡掉出來,現在就有新的植物長出來! People are excited. The park will have many new plants.
