　　HOW DAISY LEARNED TO HELP WILDLIFE

　　Daisy had always longed to help① endangered species② of wildlife. One day she woke up and found a flying carpet③ by her bed."Where do you want to go？" it asked. Daisy responded④ immediately."I'd like to see some endangered wildlife，" she said."Please take me to a distant⑤ land where I can find the animal that gave fur⑥ to make this sweater." At once the carpet flew away and took her to Tibet. There Daisy saw an antelope looking sad⑦. It said，"We're being killed for the wool beneath⑧ our stomachs. Our fur is being used to make sweaters for people like you. As a result, we are now an endangered species." At ⑨ that Daisy cried，"I'm sorry I didn't know that. I wonder what is being done to help you. Flying carpet, please show me a place where there's some wildlife protection⑩."
