Sometimes animals can do strange things. Here are two true stories about people and animals. A pet lizard was kept in a biology classroom. The students looked after it well and loved having it in the classroom. However, large lizards like being alone and don’t really like lots of people around them all the time, especially noisy girls and boys at school. The large lizard noticed that whenever the alarm bell rang during the school’s practice fire drills （消防演练）, all the children and their teachers ran out of the classroom, leaving the lizard behind, in peace and quiet for a while. Over several weeks, there were quite a few false （假的） fire alarms. Someone noticed that every time the alarms went off, the lizard was out of its cage （笼子）. So, the children decided to watch the lizard. To their surprise, they found that it climbed over to the fire alarm on the back wall and set it off （弄响）! The lizard just wanted to be left alone.

A tourist was driving along a road one evening, and he accidentally ran over a kangaroo. The tourist thought that no one would believe him, so he decided to take a photo of the kangaroo with his mobile phone. He picked the dead kangaroo up and put it next to the car. He then took off his jacket and sunglasses and put them on the kangaroo to make his photo more interesting. All went well, suddenly, the kangaroo woke up! It had only been knocked out but not actually dead! As soon as the kangaroo woke up, it ran away, wearing a jacket, which kangaroo also included three credit cards （信用卡）, one passport and $1,000 in cash! What a lucky kangaroo!

Mr. Paterno’s story has been reported around the world, and draws wide attention, partly because of his age, the more important part is that his life story shows his belief.

Born in Palermo in 1923, the first of seven children in a very poor family, Mr. Paterno began working soon after finishing primary school. It was only after he retired in the mid-1980s that he returned to his books.

“His story shows that dreams can come true and that you can remain young-not in age but in spirit-if you develop interests,” said Rosella Cancila, his teacher of history at the University of Palermo.

Italy’s university system is based on a three-year degree then a two-year master’s course. University officials are hoping that Mr. Paterno will continue his studies.

But he isn’t so sure. “I have to say that in this moment, I don’t know whether I would keep on studying with the same spirit,” he said, adding that all the attention had made him a bit tired. Still, Mr. Paterno said that he would probably try to get his master’s degree but he hadn’t decided yet.
