People always call firefighters（消防员） for help when there is a big fire． Do you think they only need to do many other kinds of strange things．

Firefighters are often called to save people or animals that are trapped（困住）． In many countries， there are lots of stories of firefighters saving animals trapped in strange places． For example， several firefighters in England saved a dog trapped in a wheelchair （轮椅） last winter． Also，firefighters often save people trapped in very unusual places． Once some firefighters saved an adult American trapped in a washing machine． They cut up the machine and helped him out in the end．

Sometimes， firefighters also have to save any person in danger ﹣﹣even when the person is doing something wrong or breaking the law（法律）．

Firefighters always come to help people in need even at the risk of their own lives． They are heroes in our hearts．

A UK cartoon ，Peppa Pig is a most popular cartoon． The four members in the pig family teach children from all around the world about love， friendship and the value of family． And a Chinese cartoon film， the Adventures of Me Dull， is also very famous． In the cartoon， the little pig， Mc Dull， has a beart of gold and always works hard towards his dreams． Most people want quick success， but Me Dull is slow and patient， and not afraid of failing again and again．
