These days, the Puy du Fou theme park in Western France welcomed six very special cleaners—Boubou, Bamboo, Bill, Black, Bricole and Baco. They are six crows (乌鸦)! As part of the daily show, the theme park has already trained the crows to pick up roses and bring them to a “princess” in a castle (城堡).
Workers at the park have taught the crows to pick up small pieces of rubbish. The crows move the rubbish (垃圾) into a small box. After helping to clean the park, they get bird food for their hard work.
“The park is very clean,” Nicolas de Villiers, the head of the park, said, “The purpose of the crows is to teach people, to open up their minds to think.”
As a regular (定期的) visitor to the park, Simons, ever said after watching it, "OK! The birds are able to do something that we are much more able to do than them. It shows that we humans cannot throw rubbish everywhere.”
Earlier this year, Josh Klein taught the crows to collect money and drop it in a special machine. After six months of training, he found that the crows could remember how to get food by working.
Poll is a donkey(驴子) on an island(岛). He likes to walk here and there. Soon he gets bored of it. "If I go to a new place, that will be better," he thinks. "It's not a good idea to leave our island. And we are friendly," all the friends say to Poll.
On a fine day he goes to another island. It is a quiet place and there are few people there. Poll eats a lot every day." Soon he becomes fat and can't run fast.
One day, a farmer sees Poll and catches(抓住) him. He rides Poll every day and doesn't even give him enough(足够) to eat. Poll becomes thin again.
One night, Poll flees(逃离) from the farmer's house. He goes back to his island and decides not to leave his friends forever.
Book name: The Little Prince Customer reviews Little Prince Type: Children's book Price: $7.79 Age Level: Age 10-13 Paperback: 112 pages Writer: Antoine de Saint-Exupery Language: English translation* Some of the customer reviews: Lily Morgan: The Little Prince is one of my most favourite books. My husband and kids read it too. So I bought five of this book as birthday gifts for them. I only give 2 stars because the pictures in the book are black and white. I hope they could be colorful so they won't look boring. |
Alan Rooney: Although it is a children's book, I still love it every time when I read it. It tells me to slow down in a fast life and enjoy myself. The book is good, but the translation is not. |
Luke Shaw: I love reading this book again as an adult. Everyone should have and read this book. It is a good story about a prince and his rose. My students love it the same. We always talk about how warm the prince is. |

You can help people in many ways. Schools need help with taking care of children while their parents are working.
