英语流利说 Level 6 Unit 1-4 Mr.G and Jellybean

音频

    This is the story of a donkey named Jellybean and a goat named Mr.G. For ten years they lived together on a farm owned by a woman who loved animals but could barely care for herself. She had dozens of animals, but the living conditions for all of them were deplorable. Finally, an animal rescue organization came and took the animals away, relocating them to animal sanctuaries.

    Throughout their years at the farm, Jellybean and Mr G had been inseparable. Wherever the donkey was the goat was never far away. For some reason, they had bonded, and nobody suspected how strong the bond had become.

    When Jellybean was taken to a local animal rescue center, Mr.G was moved to a center far away. When he arrived, he refused to eat. Not only did he refuse to eat, but he refused to get up or move around. He spent his days lying in a corner of the barn, barely lifting his head. The staff at the center tried feeding him treats, including apples and sweets, but nothing worked.

    As the days went by, he continued to weaken. The staff had to move him physically to ensure he didn't spend too long lying down. Worried that he was ill, they gave him a series of health examinations, but none showed anything wrong. Finally, they realized that he was depressed and mourning the loss of his best friend.

    With his condition getting worse, drastic measures were required. A volunteer at the center offered to make the 14-hour round-trip journey to fetch Jellybean so the two could be reunited.

    Once Jellybean arrived and the goat sensed his presence, he rose to his feet, breathed in deeply and rushed to his friend's side. Shortly after that, he began to eat, moving the entire staff to tears. Such a beautiful reunion was inspiring - an amazing testimonial to the depth of nonhuman emotions.

    Since the video of the reunion was posted on the Internet, it has been viewed by millions. and from now on, the two friends will remain together.

(This story teach us that humans have much in common with animals.)
