●One Snowy Night
○《雪夜》
One snowy Christmas, a cold little hedgehog1 wakes from his winter sleep to find a present from Father Christmas. Its a snug2, woolly3 red hat—just what he needs. But when little hedgehog tries to wear the hat, his prickles4 get in the way and it wont fit. Then little hedgehog has a wonderful idea.
一个下雪的圣诞节,一只寒冷的小刺猬从冬眠中醒来,找到了圣诞老人送来的一份礼物。这是一顶舒适的、毛茸茸的红帽子——正是它所需要的。但是当小刺猬想戴帽子的时候,它的刺挡住了,戴不上。于是小刺猬想出了一个好主意。

在山上画只大猫干什么?这是一幅地画,刚刚在秘鲁靠近纳斯卡线的山丘上发现的。这幅画有37米长,线条有10英寸宽!这只巨大的猫科动物是在工人们建造一个让游客们眺望群山的入口时发现的。这幅画实际上比这个地区其他一些地理標志建筑还要古老。它是由一架无人机发现的。据说这只大猫已经有2000多年的历史了。
