M: Oh, I see, I am sorry, I didn't know. I'll take this one only, then.

Welcome to Yellow Stone
National Park. Before we
begin our nature walk today, I'd like to give you a short history of our
national park service. The national park service began in the late 1800s. A
small group of people found a land now called Yellow Stone. And after hours of
discussion around the campfire, they decided that should be enjoyed by
everyone. Two years later, the government declared that became the first
national park in the world. After they became a public park, many other areas
of beautiful scenic were set aside. And in 1916 these parks began to be managed
by the national park service. I am now an employee of the national park service,
and I am on duty at all the times to answer questions and help visitors in any
difficulty. Nature walks, guided tours and campfire talks are offered by
specially trained members. The park service also protects the animals and
plants within the parks.
