Tiger Bought by Accident
Have you ever bought anything by mistake? 你曾經買錯東西嗎? Like the wrong
flavor of ice cream or a weird toothpaste?
I have! I've bought the wrong thing before, but even if it wasn't what I
wanted, it was never dangerous or against the law!
就算買到了不是我要的,也不會是危險、或是違法的東西。
Unlike a couple in France who wanted a new pet. They were looking for a
special kind of cat called a Savannah
cat.法國有一對夫妻,想買一種很特別的貓。
They found what they thought was a Savannah cat online and paid a lot of
money for it.他們在網路上找到了,並且花很多錢買下來。
They got the cat but after a few days, they thought something wasn't quite
right.幾天後,發現不太對勁。
The cat... wasn't actually the cat they thought it was… It was… a tiger!
他們買的貓,原來是老虎!
Okay, it was only a little tiger cub but still… it was a tiger!
雖然是小老虎,可是...,牠還是老虎!
Tigers are endangered. Which means there are not a lot of them left in the
world. 世界上的老虎已經不多了。
So this is serious. The people that sold the tiger to the couple in France,
are in big trouble with the police. 賣老虎給這對夫妻的人,後來被警察抓了!
Don't worry about the tiger, it's now safe and healthy.
不用擔心,小老虎現在安全又健康。
But, from now on, remember, always check before you buy!

Taipei Rainbow Record
I don't really like rain...but I love rainbows! 我不這麼喜歡下雨
但我很喜歡彩虹。But … you need rain to make a rainbow. 可是下雨才有彩虹。
Rainbows happen when light shines through water… and rain is water!
Sometimes we can see a rainbow just after a big rain… that's because there
is still some water in the sky.
There are seven colors in a rainbow -- red, orange, yellow, green, blue,
indigo and violet. 彩虹有七個顏色,紅橙黃綠藍靛紫。
Every rainbow is different … some rainbows go away really fast … but
sometimes we get lucky and see the rainbows stay in the sky for a long time.
有一些彩虹很快就消失但有時候會掛在天空很久。
Can you imagine seeing a rainbow for 2 hours? Or maybe 4 hours? That's
impossible, right? Actually...there was a rainbow in Taipei that lasted for
almost 9 hours! That is a world record!
全世界最久的彩虹,在台北,出現了9個小時!Nine hours of color in the sky!
It happened three years ago … at Yangmingshan! 3年前在陽明山發生的。
It's very special to have a rainbow for such a long time! That almost never
happens! One time in England there was a rainbow for 6 hours, but the Taipei
rainbow set a new record! 上一個世界紀錄是在英國,
6小時的彩虹,但台北的彩虹刷新了紀錄!Cool!
To make a rainbow you need water in the sky and bright sunshine… So, the
next time it rains, keep your eyes open… maybe you'll see a new
record-breaking rainbow!

Eco-friendly Legos
Do you think about whether your toys are bad for the environment?
你有想過,玩具可能會傷害環境嗎?
When you don't want your toys anymore, do you give them to other people?
Or do you throw them in the garbage? 不要的舊玩具,你會送給別人? 還是丟掉?
Do you think about what happens to them when you throw them away?
If your toys are made of plastic, they might stay in the environment for a

And that is bad for the environment. 塑膠玩具很難分解,對環境很不好。
Do you have Legos at home? 你家有樂高積木嗎?
Legos are made out of plastic. But guess what?
The company that makes Legos is trying to make the toys safer for the
environment. 樂高就是塑膠做的,現在他們想要用一些對環境好的材料
The Lego company says they are going to try to make Lego bricks that are made

The company also wants people to give their old Legos to other people to play
with. 舊的樂高不玩了可以送別人
So if you have Legos that you don't want anymore, don't throw them away.
