We sometimes say the lion is “the king of the forest” because it is stronger and more dangerous than the other animals. It can run faster than most other animals and it can hunt other beasts. It is said that the lion is the highest animal in the land food chain (链). In the sea, people say the shark is at the top of the food chain. It can swim faster than most of the other sea animals. It can also use its sharp teeth to catch other sea animals and eat them.
What is at the top of the world’s food chain? Human beings! We are not the biggest or fastest, but we are the cleverest. We could not run faster than most animals, so we invented cars. We could not fight better than a lion, we invented guns.
People’s inventions are clever, but they can be dangerous, too. For example, people used guns to kill a lot of wild wolves. People thought they posed a threat to their sheep. But m recent years, the number of wild rabbits is becoming larger and larger because the number of wild wolves is getting smaller and smaller. The wild rabbits

competed for the grass with the sheep and the cows, much of the grassland became desert because it was seriously destroyed by the wild rabbits.
Remember that we are part of the food chain, so we are in danger. too! Protecting animals is protecting ourselves!

“Dreams may be more important than sleep. We all need dreams.” Some scientists say. Dreams take up about one quarter of our sleeping time. People have a few dreams each night.
Dreams are like short films. They are usually in colour. Some dreams are like old films. They come to us over and over again. That may be because the dreamers think about something all the time. Dreaming may be a way of trying to find an answer.
Some people get new ideas about their work from dreams. They may think about their work all day. These ideas can be carried over into dreams.
Sometimes we wake up with a good feeling from a dream. But often we can’t remember the dream. Dreams can go away quickly.
