Question

Are there any differences between human beings and animals? Scientists used to think that men were different from animals because they could think and learn．But now we know that animals like dogs，cats，rats and even birds can learn．Once in my hometown，a strange thing happened．One morning my grandma went to the door to get the milk，but to her surprise，there was little milk left．She thought the cat next door had stolen the milk．The next day，the same thing happened．She was a little angry．She went next door to talk about this with the cat’s owner，but she found that the neighbor and the cat were not at home．They were all on holiday! Who stole the milk? She thought hard．Then she asked the milkman about it the next morning．He said that other people also complained(抱怨) about it．He said that birds might be the thieves because there were seven or eight quick—moving blue birds following him when he delivered(遞送) the milk．In order not to lose milk any more，people made some boxes to put their milk in．A few days later，people found that when the birds couldn’t get into the boxes，they flew directly to the milk truck and had their meals there．How intelligent the birds are! They use theft sharp wits to hold their place in a human environment．
