Answer 1

分析 曾经在森林里有几位科学家．他们正在研究世界上最稀有的动物．没有人看到过它，所以每个人都很兴奋，都想成为第一个拍摄和研究它的人．
这种动物仅仅在晚上出来，因此在白天科学家们做一些其他的研究工作．在他们中间有一个有名的科学家叫Walter．每天，他会花一个小时坐在书桌前，把自己所有的设备按正确的位置把它们放好．他认真地做着这一切．但是其他的科学家嘲笑他，他们认为Walter在浪费时间．一天晚上，这种动物突然出现了．科学家们听到了它的叫声．但是这种叫声持续的时间不长．这种动物被科学家忙乱地找自己的照相机和笔记本发出的声音惊吓着了．
第二天早晨，科学家们比较他们的发现．有些人试图记录它的呼叫，其他人已经注意到它是如何移动的，最幸运的人甚至拍到了它的尾巴和腿的部分．他们都互相祝贺着他们的发现．然而，当他们看到Walter的东西时，他们很惊讶．他已经拍下了几张完整的照片，录下了动物的叫声并记录了下来．
他们都跑着去祝贺Walter．他们现在明白了把物品按顺序放好的重要性．正因为如此，Walter在黑暗中能很快找到一切．
