When Yang Fan was taking a walk around the Yuliang Island, she saw a black swan(天鹅) in the grass. Yang Fan knew that swans could be fierce(凶猛的). But as she got close to this one, it didn't move.
She was sure that the swan needed help. So Yang covered the bird's head with her jacket to keep its cool, picked it up carefully, and held it in her arms. She decided to send it to the Animal Care Center, but the center was across the Han River, far from the park. She didn't know how to carry the swan there. Luckily, some strangers driving by gave her and the swan a lift to a nearby bus stop.
On the bus, no one seemed surprised by "the unusual passenger". Instead they were worried. Someone helped Yang Fan call the center on the way. And Li Tao, an animal-care manager, picked her up at the bus stop and drove them to the center. There, the animal doctors found that the swan was poisoned, caused by eating something used to kill mice. The swan was well looked after at the center. She even made a friend- a little dog. Thanks to people's love and care, luckily, she was cured(治愈) two months later.
"It's a moving story. Yang Fan travelled about two hours and it was really a long way." Says Li Tao. "And all the strangers wanted to give her and the swan a hand." He adds, "I am happy to see that more and more people have realized the importance of protecting the wild life since Xiangyang began to build the civilized(文明) city."
