The Secret World of Disneyland（迪士尼的秘密）
The cat
It is not easy to keep the park clean. Every night after the closing time, about 200 cats will come into the park. Because of them, there are few pests in the park. They are nice workers in the park.
The light
In the 1950s, Walt Disney had an apartment in the park. When the light in the house was on, people would know that the owner of the park was in. Today, the light always stays on in honor of him.
The Hidden Mickey
At Disneyland, Mickey Mouse logos are everywhere. However, there are hundreds of “Hidden Mickeys” in the park. They are often different to find. No one knows how many “Hidden Mickeys” there are in the park.
A man came out of the airport. A lot of taxis were there. He asked the name of every taxi-driver. Then he took the 3rd one. It cost 5 dollars from the airport to the hotel. "How much does it cost for the whole day?" the man asked. "One hundred dollars," said the taxi-driver. This was very expensive, but the man said it was OK.
The driver took the man everywhere. He showed him all the parks and museums in the city. In the evening, they went back to the hotel. The man gave the driver 100 dollars and said, "What about tomorrow?" The taxi-driver looked at the man and said, "Tomorrow? It's another 100 dollars." But the man said, "That's OK! See you tomorrow." The driver was very pleased.
The next day the driver took the man everywhere again. They visited all the parks and museums again. And in the evening they went back to the hotel. The man gave the driver 100 dollars again and was going home tomorrow. The driver was unhappy because he liked the man and above all, 100 dollars a day was a lot of money. "So you're going home. Where do you come from?" he asked. "I come from New York." "New York!" said the driver. "I have a sister in New York. Her name is Lucy. Do you know her?" "Of course I know her. She gave me 200 dollars for you!"
