Salt Lake City is a beautiful city in the west of North America. If you go there, you'l1 see a monument(纪念碑)with seagulls on top of it. Here is the story about the seagulls.

Over one hundred years ago, a group of men, women and children traveled a long way from the east to the west. They crossed the mountains and arrived at thequiet place in the valley. They built their homes and made their farms near the big salt lake. They had to work very hard on their farms because their life depended on their crops.

One day while they were working in the fields, some farmers saw something strange in the sky.

"What's that?" asked one of them. "Where?" asked another. "Over there. " he answered.

They saw something like a cloud coming towards them. But it was too low in the sky. As they watched, it came nearer and nearer. Suddenly a shout went up:"Locusts(蝗虫)!Millions of them! "

The farmers were all frightened, because they knew what locusts could do. And they had never seen so many of them before.

In no time the locusts came down and started eating their crops一the wheat, the vegetables, even the grass and the leaves on the trees. The farmers tried everything to kill the locusts,but while they were killing them in one place, millions more arrived in another. What could they do?

Suddenly they heard a great noise. As they looked up into the sky, they saw another great cloud coming towards them. To their surprise, they saw not locusts, but seagulls this time. The farmer cried out, "They've come to eat what the locusts. have left! "

But to their joy,the seagulls had come to eat, not their corps, but the locusts. They had seen or smelt the locusts and had come to eat them. In a short while they ate up millions of them. The farmers' crops were saved.

The people were very thankful. They decided that frrnn then on no one should ever kill a seagull. They also built a monument to show their thanks to the seagulls.
