The Strange Footprints
Last Saturday morning, Many residents(居民) went to the central garden as usual, some to walk their dogs, and some to do morning exercises. Suddenly, someone pointed at the wet grass and shouted,“Look at those strange footprints!” Everyone gathered around. The footprints were about 20 centimeters long, with four round toes, and they stretched across(横跨) the garden path. People started talking excitedly. “What animal could this be?”“I’ve never seen such footprints here before!”The mystery quickly spread through the community.
Mrs. Black, who loves watching animal shows, said firmly(坚定地),“It must be a fox! I saw a documentary about foxes last week. Their footprints are exactly like this—small and round toes!”But Mr. Green shook his head.“Foxes usually live in forests. There are only parks and roads near our community. It might be a large dog from the neighborhood,” he argued.
Lisa, a student in Grade Nine, knelt down to look carefully.“Wait a minute!” she said.“The footprints have no mud(泥) on them. It rained heavily last night, so real animal footprints would be dirty and messy. These look so neat(整洁的)—maybe someone made them for fun!” Her words made everyone think. That afternoon, a boy named Jack came to the community office with a red face. He held a cardboard model in his hand.“I’m sorry,”he said softly.“I made the footprints with this model. I wanted to see how people would react to a mystery.”
After hearing Jack’s words, everyone laughed. They thought it was an interesting experience. From then on, everyone tried to find clues calmly like Lisa did that morning.
