24、One day, a young man visited a small farm in the countryside. As he got closer to the farm, he saw many chickens and an eagle (鹰) playing together.

He then went up to the farm house and talked to the farmer. “Sir, I was just passing by and I saw that you have many chickens and an eagle.” The farmer smiled and said, “That’s not an eagle. It’s a chicken.” The young man kept saying that it was an eagle. He said to the farmer, “Sir, that is an eagle! I can prove (证明) it to you.” The farmer laughed, “Sure, go ahead.”

The young man then pulled that big bird out and climbed a high mountain. He held the bird in his hands and said, “You are an eagle, fly!” But the bird failed. The young man tried the second time. He said to the bird, “I don’t care you have been raised as a chicken for those years. But I know what you were created to be. You are an eagle, now fly!” After the young man tried another three times, the bird began to flap (拍打) its wings. Finally, it flew high and began to fly around the farm.

25、

Monarch butterflies(帝王蝶) from the eastern part of North America make the most amazing journey in the insect world. Each year, this tiny creature(生物) travels up to 3,000 miles(4,800 kilometers) to its winter home in central Mexico(墨西哥). How can it fly so far? And what is the purpose of its long and dangerous trip? Scientists still don’t have an explanation.

The length of the butterflies’ trip is only one part of the mystery. The other amazing thing is that the butterflies always return to the same place in central Mexico. How do the butterflies find their way back to the same place? This is an interesting question because only every fourth generation(代) makes the trip south. In other words, the butterfly that travels to Mexico this year is the great-great-grandchild of the butterfly that traveled there last year.

Each year, four generations of a Monarch butterfly family are born. Each generation of the family has a very different life. The first generation of Monarchs is born in the south in late April. It slowly moves north, reproduces, and then dies. On the trip north, two more generations are born, reproduce, and die. Each of these generations of butterflies lives for only two to five weeks. In the fall, the fourth generation of butterflies is born. Compared to its parents, this generation has a long life. It lives for about eight months. This generation of butterflies makes the amazing journey to the winter home of its great-great-grandparents. The butterflies spend the winter there, and in the spring they reproduce and then die. Their children will be the first generation of the next circle. How amazing it is!
