Most people agree that honesty is a good thing.But does Mother Nature agree?Animals can't talk,but can they lie in other ways?Can they lie with their bodies and behavior?Animal experts may not call it lying,but they do agree that many animals,from birds to chimpanzees,behave dishonestly to fool other animals.Why?Dishonesty often helps them survive.
    Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals.For example,a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young.When a predator (獵食動物)gets close to its nest,the plover leads the predator away from the nest.How?It pretends to have a broken wing.The predator follows the "hurt" adult,leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.
    Another kind of bird,the scrub jay,buries its food so it always has something to eat.Scrub jays are also thieves.They watch where others bury their food and steal it.But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them.So they go back later,unbury the food,and bury it again somewhere else.
    Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work.How?They don't make nests.Instead,they gel into other birds' nests secretly.Then they lay their eggs and fly away.When the baby birds come out,their adoptive parents feed them.
    Chimpanzees,or chimps,can also be sneaky.After a fight,the losing chimp will give its hand to the other.When the winning chimp puts out its hand,too,the chimps are friendly again.But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner's hand and start fighting again.
    Chimps are dishonest in other ways,too.When chimps find food that they love,such as bananas,it is natural for them to cry out.Then other chimps come running.But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food.That way,other chimps don't hear them,and they don't need to share their food.
    As children,many of us learn the saying "You can't fool Mother Nature." But maybe you can't trust her,either.

    Dear Jack,
        I'm sorry to hear that you feel lonely in the new school,because you find hard to make friends.Now,I'd like to offer you any advice.
        Firstly,it's normal for you to feel lonely because you were living in a new environment.Secondly,you should greet your classmates when met them on campus.Thirdly,it will be a good idea if you take an actively part in class activities,what can help them learn more about you.I believe you will be able to make new friends soon unless you're friendly to the others.
        I hope the suggestion above will be helpful to you and everything will be fine with you for the future.
    Yours,
    Li Hua
