American writer Burro Munsell (1942-1999),

wrote the article "The Way of Nature" (also known as "The Secret of Nature") (it was changed when it was selected as a text. The article tells the story that "I" traveled on an island with seven companions and a biologist guide, and a large group of young turtles became carnivorous birds because of saving a young turtle.

The Secret of Nature:

I arrived in Galapagos Island in the South Pacific with seven traveling companions and a biologist's guide. One of the purposes of our trip there was that there were many Pacific green turtles used to hatch their nests, and we wanted to observe on the spot how the young turtles left their nests and entered the sea.

The Pacific green turtle weighs about 151 kilograms, and its young turtles are less than 1% of it. Generally, young turtles leave their nests in April and May and scramble to climb to the sea. It only takes a long beach to get from their nests to the sea, and if they are not careful, they may become food for carnivorous birds such as eagles.

When we went to the island that day, it was near dusk, and we soon found a big turtle's nest. Suddenly, a young turtle took the lead in sticking his head out of the nest, but tried to stop it, as if to spy out whether it was safe outside. Just as the young turtle hesitated, a mockinghawk suddenly came, pecking at the young turtle's head with its beak, trying to pull it to the beach.

My companion and I watched the scene in front of us nervously. One of them anxiously asked the guide, "You have to do something!" However, the guide casually replied, "Just take it. That's the way of nature." The coldness of the guide attracted a cry of "No from ruin" from his companions. Reluctantly, the guide picked up the turtle and led it to the sea. The mocking eagle saw the delicious food in his hand and took it away, so he could only fly away dejectedly.

However, what happened next shocked everyone. Soon after the guide took the young turtles away, groups of young turtles filed out of the nest. The reality soon became clear that we had done a stupid thing. The young turtle that came out first turned out to be a "scout" of the turtle group. Once it was in danger, it would return to the turtle nest. Now the young turtle in the nest was guided to the sea, and the young turtle in the nest got the wrong message, thinking that it was safe outside, so they rushed out together.

At dusk, the sun is still shining on the island. From the turtle nest to the beach, there is no shelter, and hundreds of young turtles flock out, which soon attracts many carnivorous birds. They can have a full meal.

"Oh, my God!" I heard someone behind me say, "Look what we have done!" At this time, dozens of young turtles have become the mouths of mockingbirds, seagulls and jian birds. Our guide quickly took off the baseball cap on his head, quickly grabbed a dozen young turtles, put them in the cap and ran to the beach. We also learned from him and ran back and forth panting, which was a remedy for our own mistakes.

In a short time, dozens of carnivorous birds were full and gave out joyful cries, which resounded through the sky. Two mockingbirds still stood quietly under the beach, hoping to catch the last lost turtle for cooking. My companions and I hung our heads and walked slowly on the beach. It seemed that everything was silent among this group of mortals. Finally, the guide gave his lament as he walked: "If it weren't for us humans,"

man is the soul of all things, however, when he is clever, everything may go the other way.

The raw materials of the composition are as follows:

On the small island in the South Pacific mentioned in this article, there are many sand caves where green turtles hatch small turtles. One evening, a young turtle poked its head out. A mockingbird rushed down to take it away. A kind-hearted tourist found it and ran to drive away the mockinghawk and climbed into the sea with the turtle. However, unexpected things happened, and groups of young turtles filed out of the sand cave-originally, the young turtle who came out first was a "scout", and once it was in danger, it shrank back. Now it reached the sea safely, and the wrong information made the young turtles scramble to climb to the uncovered beach. The kind-hearted tourists left, and the mockinghawk that was waiting for the opportunity flew back, and other mockinghawks followed.

The Galapagos Islands is a tourist attraction in Ecuador, located in the Pacific Ocean on the west coast of South America. It is known as the Museum of Living Biology and has been designated as "the natural wealth of mankind" by the United Nations.

1. Turtle Island: Archipiélago de Colón (translated from Taiwan Province into Galapagos Islands)

Original name: Galapagos Islands

Another name: Giant Tortoise Island

Country: Ecuador

continent: South America

It was selected according to natural heritage in p>1978. Listed in the World Heritage List

Evaluation by the World Heritage Committee: The Galapagos Islands are composed of 19 volcanic islands, extending from the South American continent into the Pacific Ocean for about 1,111 kilometers, and are called "unique living biological evolution museums and showrooms". There are some unusual animal species. For example, terrestrial iguanas, giant tortoises and various types of finches. After Charles Darwin visited this island in 1835, he got a feeling from it, which laid the foundation for the formation of evolution theory.

When this island was first discovered, it was called "Ská n Tadas Island" (Spanish means "Devil Island"). Because there are many big turtles on the island, it was later called "Galapagos Islands" (meaning "Giant Tortoise Island"). After Ecuador ruled these islands, it was renamed "Cologne Islands".

Affected by the cold current in Peru, although it is located at the equator, it has a cool and dry climate and lush vegetation, and is surrounded by the Wang Yang Sea. Over the years, this archipelago has formed a unique ecological environment. According to experts' investigation, there are more than 711 kinds of ground animals, more than 81 kinds of birds and many insects living in this archipelago, among which giant turtles and lizards are world-famous. The most famous animals are giant turtles (also known as "elephant turtles"). Their number is tens of thousands, and their length is more than 1 meters. The mature turtles weigh about 181 kilograms, the heaviest can reach 251 kilograms, and the longest life span can reach 411 years. The giant turtles here, even if they are of the same species, have different shell shapes because of the different islands where they live.
