A group of frogs were travelling through the forests, and two of them fell into a deep hole. When the other frogs saw how deep the hole was, they told the two frogs that they would die. The two frogs ignored(忽视) what they said and tried to jump up and out of the hole. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, the hole was too deep, they would die, it was no use to try. Finally, one of the frogs followed what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the other frogs shouted at him to stop and just wait to die. He jumped even harder until finally he succeeded(成功). The other frogs were surprised and said, "Didn’t you hear us?" The frog told them that he was deaf and that he thought they were encouraging(鼓励) him all the time.

Popcorn Park is a very special place. Workers at the zoo care for hurt or sick(生病的)animals. At first this unusual place was not a zoo. It was called the Forked River Animal Care Center. The workers there took care of lost or unwanted cats and dogs.

The change began in 1977 when a raccoon (浣熊) needed help. The workers cared for the animal. Finally it was better, but it could not care for itself. So people had to allow the raccoon to live at the center. After that, people began taking all kinds of hurt or homeless animals there. So many animals were living at the center that it became more like a zoo. It was time for a new name.

Popcorn Park Zoo got its funny name because many of the animals there like to eat popcorn. Also workers at the zoo sell the popcorn to care for the animals.
