A

In a mountain in Northern America, there are many kinds of animals, among which are proboscis monkeys（长鼻猴）and a kind of fat rats. In autumn, the rats have to climb the high mountain to the back of it to look for caves. They’ll spend their winter there. However, the rats are very fat and have poor eyesight. As a result, they cannot move fast. What’s worse, every time they meet an obstacle（障碍物）, they’ll turn back and try to find another route（路线）. There are a lot of stones on the mountain. As a result, it’s very difficult for the rats to get to the back of the mountain.

However, they all succeed in the end. Do you know why? That’s because they all get help on the way. A lot of snakes come out at that time and they attack other animals, which forces（迫使） proboscis monkeys to go to higher places. On their way, when they see a stone, they’ll remove it. The rats run after them. That’s why the rats can get to the top of the mountain easily.

But after the proboscis monkeys get to the top of the mountain, the weather usually turns bad and they have to get back as they don’t have any place to hide there. Luckily, since they have removed all the stones on the way, they can run fast and get to the foot of the mountain before the storm comes. After they return to their home, the snakes are not as active as before and the proboscis monkeys don’t have to worry about them. What the proboscis monkeys have done for the rats pays off in the end.
