25、 and his court, but secretly he desired to take away the kings throne. One day he disguised (假扮) himself as an old woman and walked under the trees in the palace gardens till he met Safia. “Princess, he said, “let me be your laundress, for I can wash linens and silks as finely as anyone in the world

26、, and I would do it for almost nothing if I could serve Your Highness. “Good woman, said Princess Safia, “I can see that you are a poor creature and grieve (悲哀) for your condition. Come to my private quarters and I shall give you some of my linen to wash. So the disguised magician followed the princ

27、ess into the palace, and before the girl could see what was happening he bundled her into a laundry bag and ran away as fast as his legs would carry him.

28、went to the court as usual, and found the whole palace in an uproar. “Princess Safia has vanished, and His Majesty is nearly out of his mind. All the soothsayers(占卜师) have tried to find out through their magical powers where she can be, but none of them have managed it, said the Grand Vizier. The wi

34、wn thing, the group might break apart. Group members would be forced to live alone. Then theyd have a harder time hunting and raising their young. Thats probably why a traveling wolf pack stopped and waited to let its slowly moving leader catch up. Similar social ties may have caused a captive eleph

35、ant to save her friend from drowning. Selfish reasons certainly motivated the male fox, who wanted to keep playing.Sometimes, though, animals go out of their way to do whats right, even when theres nothing in it for them. Nobody knows why. “ It might simply feel good to be kind, just as it does for

36、humans, says Bekoff. If your friend wasnt nice to you, what would you do? Maybe you would just walk away. Thats exactly what a wild red fox did when she was play-boxing with another fox. The larger fox, a male, began pushing too hard. The little female didnt like fighting. She ran away quickly. “ He

37、 still wanted to play, says Marc Bekoff. So the male fox ran after his playmate, bowed down, and rolled over. His body language meant, “ Dont leave, Ill play nicely.

42、n the world is finite(有限的). The number of people is growing fast and water use is growing even faster.

In any case, it is not just us who need water, but every other species that shares the planet with us. We have to r
