“Who is that?” she said.
“It’s the Rain, and I want to come in!” said a soft, sad, little voice.
“No, you can’t come in,” the little Rosebud said,
By and by she heard another little tap, tap, tap on the window pane（窗玻璃）.
“Who is there?” she said.
The same soft little voice answered, “It’s the Rain, and I want to come in!”
“No, you can’t come in,” said the little Rosebud.
Then it was very still for a long time. At last, there came a little rustling, whispering sound, all round the window rustle, whisper, whisper.
“Who is there?” said the little Rosebud.
“It’s the Sunshine,” said a little, soft, cheery voice, “and I want to come in!”
“N… no,” said the little pink rose, “you can’t come in.” And she sat still again.
Pretty soon she heard the sweet little rustling noise at the key-hole.
“Who is there?” she said.
“It’s the Sunshine,” said the cheery little voice, “and I want to come in, I want to come in!”

Animal documentaries (纪录片) are always fun to watch. Lions hunt smaller animals. Monkeys play with each other. But do you know how people film these videos?
Usually, a camera team goes into the wild. They use special cameras to film. However, the BBC wanted to get much closer. So they made “animal spies(间谍)”! The animal spies are robots (机器人).They have cameras in their eyes. But they look and move like real animals. These spies worked in the wild. They tried to be part of real animal groups. The BBC used them to make a documentary called Spy in the Wild. The following are the numbers about the documentary.
★The camera team made 34 robot animals. They made monkeys, birds and even worms(蠕虫). It could take 6 weeks to 6 months to make one animal spy.

★It took the team three years to shoot the documentary. They shot more than 8,000 hours of material. Every hour-long episode(剧集) was made from 1,250 hours of material.
★The team travelled 530,000 kilometers. They went to the Arctic (北极) and the Antarctic(南极) and many places in between.
To make a good spy, the camera team needed to learn the living habits of real animals. For example, they once wanted to make a baby elephant spy. But elephants are very smart and would easily see through(看穿) it. So they made spy dung balls. The balls were small and could move quickly. More importantly, elephants usually don’t step on their own dung.
Many funny things happened between the spies and the animals. Find out more by watching the documentary yourself.
