气候变化
小镇在一个很严肃的日子开了一间教室。老师指着 Emission 和 Carbon 说，这两个就是把屋子越弄越热的吵闹客人。
外面的 Glacier 在缩小，Drought 和 Heatwave 则轮流来捣乱 Forest。Ocean 叹了口气，悄悄朝 Coast 逼近，好像想多占一点地方。
接着 Wind 转动了屋顶的旗子，Solar 板开始发亮。Renewable 笑着说，它已经准备好替代 Coal、Oil 和 Gas。
大家还没来得及庆祝，Storm 就带着乱糟糟的 Precipitation 赶来，把教案都打湿了。全班先笑了，然后决定通过保护 Species 和每天做更好的选择来 Adapt。
The town opened a classroom on a very serious day. The teacher pointed to Emission and Carbon and said these two were the noisy guests warming the room.
Outside, Glacier was shrinking, while Drought and Heatwave kept taking turns to bother the Forest. Ocean sighed and crept toward the Coast, as if it wanted extra space.
Then Wind spun the rooftop flag, and Solar panels began to glow. Renewable smiled and said it was ready to replace Coal, Oil, and Gas.
Before anyone could celebrate, Storm arrived with messy Precipitation and soaked the lesson plan. The class laughed, then decided to Adapt by protecting Species and making better choices every day.
