亲爱的编辑你好：我写信给您是想说我反对在我们城市建一个新的动物园。动物园对动物来说是居住的可怕地方。我这一生参观了许多动物园，而我就从来没有看到一个过我喜欢的或适合动物居住的。就在上一个周，我参观了一处动物园，我对我看到的一切感到不可思议。动物被关在极小的笼子里而且几乎一点也不能动。它们一天只能被喂一次。对动物来说这是生活的好方式吗？我可不这样认为。

Long,long ago there lived a king.He loved horses. One day he asked an artist to draw him a beautiful horse. The artist said,“All right, but you must wait.” So the king waited. He waited and waited. At last, after a year he could not wait any longer. He went to see the artist himself.Quickly the artist brought out paper and a brush. In five minutes he finished drawing a very beautiful horse. The king was angry. “You can draw a good horse in five minutes,yet you kept me waiting for a year. Why?”“Come with me,please,” said the artist. They went to the artist’s workroom.. There the king saw piles and piles of paper. On every piece of paper was a picture of a horse. “It took me more than a year to learn to draw a beautiful horse in five minutes.” the artist said.不知道是不是你要的那篇
