We hear quite a lot of stories about how people like police and doctors do their jobs well and save others ' lives. But in fact, some special animals also do their part in helping humans.
Magawa is a mouse. But he is not like any other dirty mouse we see in the cities.
From Africa, Magawa gets training(训练) about how to find landmines(地雷). You may wonder how a small mouse can help do such a difficult and dangerous job. Well, Magawa has a great nose. So, he can smell the landmines. And because he is far less heavy than humans, the landmines won't work when Magawa stands on them. Every time Magawa finishes his work, he will get a banana as a prize.
Before Magawa stopped working as a "landmine mouse", he successfully helped people find more landmines than other mice did. His work also helped people save quite a lot of money. This is another reason that Magawa can be chosen.
To show people's thanks for Magawa, PDSA, a charity organization(慈善组织) from the UK, gave him a gold medal. 
Though there're lots of mice doing similar work, Magawa is the only one getting the medal.
