A donkey fell down a dry well that nobody was using in Minnesota. But now it is happily eating grass again.
Amos, the donkey in the picture, wandered away from its farm on Sep. 13. It walked onto some boards covering the well, which is on Bryan Nelson's land. The boards broke, and Amos fell into the well.
Firefighters realized that Amos could not just be pulled from the well.
So they started removing dirt and taking the well apart block by block. Once part of the wall had been taken apart, firefighters helped guide Amos out with a rope.
"Whatever it takes," Nelson said as he watched his well come down. "I love animals, and I'm just glad it's OK."
Warren Gundberg, Amos' owner, told his donkey after the rescue: "I bet you'll think twice about doing that again. If you would have stayed home, you wouldn't be in this trouble."(Staff Writer, with AP)
美國明尼蘇達州有一隻驢子掉到一口無人使用的枯井裡。但現在，這隻驢子又開心地享用青草大餐了。
圖片中的驢子叫做阿莫斯，牠九月十三日從農場走失。牠走到了覆蓋一口井的幾塊木板上，結果木板破裂，阿莫斯就跌到井裡。這口井位在布萊恩．奈爾森的土地上。
來搶救的消防員知道他們不可能直接把阿莫斯從井裡拉出來。
於是他們開始移開井旁的土壤，並把井壁一塊一塊地拆除。牆面一被拆卸，消防員們就用一根繩子引導阿莫斯出來。
「無論要付出多少代價，」奈爾森一面看著他的井被拆掉一面說：「我喜歡動物，而且我很高興阿莫斯平安獲救。」
阿莫斯的主人華倫．岡德堡在阿莫斯獲救後對牠說：「我打賭你下次不會再這樣貿然行事了吧。如果你當初乖乖待在家裡，你現在就不會惹上這種麻煩了。」

A new study suggests that chimpanzees can weigh evidence and make rational judgments. In the experiment, researchers placed two boxes in front of the chimpanzees. One box was set up to give strong evidence, such as letting the chimpanzees actually see food inside. The other was designed to provide weak evidence, like producing a rattling sound when it was shaken. The chimps consistently chose the box with strong evidence, even when the weaker clue appeared first. This indicated that they were not fooled by the order of presentation. In another trial where no strong evidence was available, the chimps
Handing down a name over generations is a central part of the Japanese traditional theater art of Kabuki, and that ceremony gets celebrated at theaters and special events every few years. Now, the ritual is taking place with the eighth Kikugoro, who is having that honor passed down from his 83-year-old father, the seventh Kikugoro, who in turn got that name from his father. “Taking on the name is about taking on the spirit and responsibility that’s created and getting passed down over generations by those who came before us,” the younger Kikugoro, Kazuyasu Terajima, told reporters recently.
