Question

There are a lot of interesting things in the world. If someone tells you that they can fish in the desert(沙漠), you must think they are joking(开玩笑). but this is true. In some places of Africa, people can fish in the desert. It must be very interesting to get some fish from the sand(沙漠). and in the woods of Asia there is a kind of bird. To our surprise, this kind of bird doesn’t eat anything but iron(铁). I think the bird’s teeth must be harder than the iron. We all know that snakes can eat mice(老鼠), but in a place of Africa a kind of big mouse can eat snakes. Isn’t it interesting? Have you ever heard of “brush trees”? they are different from the trees we know. People can use their branches to brush teeth, and they are good for people’s teeth.
