戴茜是如何学会保护野生动物的
戴茜一直以来都渴望帮助那些濒临灭绝的野生动植物。一天她醒来，发现床边有一块飞毯。飞毯问：“你想去哪儿？”戴茜立刻回答道：“我想去看看濒临灭绝的野生动物。请带我到遥远的地方，在那里我可以发现为制作这件毛衣而提供毛绒的那种动物。”飞毯立刻开始起飞了，带她到了中国的西藏。在那里，戴茜看到一只藏羚羊面带忧郁的神色。它说：“为了取得我们肚皮底下的羊毛，我们正在被屠杀。我们的毛被用来为像你一样的人们制作毛衣。因此，我们现在濒临灭绝了。”听了这话，戴茜哭了：“我很抱歉，我过去不知道还有这回事儿。我不知道正在采取什么措施去帮助你们。飞毯啊，请把我带到一个有野生动植物保护的地方去，好吗？”
飞毯飞行得如此之快，以至于一转眼他们就来到了津巴布韦。戴茜转过身去，看到一头大象正望着她。大象问道：“你是来给我拍照的吗？”戴茜如释重负，突然笑了起来。“不要笑了，”大象说道，“我们过去是濒危动物，农民们总是惨无人道地捕杀我们。他们说，我们破坏了他们的农田，而旅游者的钱过去都流进了大型旅游公司。于是政府决定出面提供帮助。如果游客付给农民钱的话，他们允许游客来猎取一定数量的动物。如今农民高兴了，我们的数量也在增加。因此，为了拯救当地的野生动植物，他们也在做一些好事。”
戴茜笑道：“这可是个好消息。这体现了野生动植物保护的重要性，不过，我还是想按照世界自然基金会(WWF)的建议来帮助你们。”飞毯再次升起，几乎一转眼他们就到了茂密的热带雨林。一只猴子一边擦着身体，一边望着他们。戴茜问它：“你在干什么呢？”它回答说：“我这样做可以防止蚊虫叮咬。当我发现一种千足虫，便把它擦在身上。它含有一种强效的药物可以防止蚊虫叮咬。你们应该多加关注我生活的热带雨林，并且懂得热带雨林的动物是如何在一起生活的。没有雨林，就没有动物，也就没有药物了。
戴茜很惊讶。“飞毯，请带我回家去，我可以告诉世界自然基金会，我们可以开始生产这种新药。猴子，请跟我回去帮忙吧。”猴子同意了，毯子飞回了家。当他们着地时，一切就开始消失了。两分钟后，什么都没了——猴子也没了。这样，戴茜就不能制造新药了。但是，这是一次多么奇妙的经历呀！她学了那么多东西！而且，还有世界自然基金会呢……
