Wasps vs Moths
Ugh! I hate when bugs get inside! Go away! Shoo!
Bugs can be annoying, but most of the time they're harmless.
But sometimes little bugs can cause big problems!
蟲有時候不只是煩，也可能造成很大的問題.
Like at one big famous country house in England. This house has lots of
history, and lots of old and valuable things.
就像在英國有一個很大很老的房子裡面有很多又老又有價值的東西.
But, the house is full of moths! 但是房子裡都是蛾! And the moths are eating
all the old furniture and carpet! 房子裡面有蛾，蛾把老家具跟地毯都吃掉了！
So to stop all these moths from ruining the house, they're sending in a
different bug to deal with them.
They are sending….… wasps! 為了解決蛾蛾危機，他們決定派出…黃蜂！
These aren't normal wasps, they are tiny wasps.
They will find the moth eggs and lay their own eggs inside.
這些小小黃蜂會把蛋下在蛾的蛋蛋裡面。Then, there'll be no more moths!
But, wait, won't they then have a wasp problem? Then what? Send in spiders?
Then what? Mice? Then... snakes?!! This problem just keeps getting bigger and
bigger! 這樣問題不會越來越大嗎?
Don't worry, that won't happen, they say the wasps will just die out
naturally. 不用擔心，黃蜂會自然死掉.
That's a pretty smart way to stop the moths, I guess, but I won't be trying
this at my house!
