The CSIRO is an Australian science agency (组织). The scientists in the agency got a lovely letter a few days ago. It said:
Hello Lovely Scientist,
My name is Sophie and I am 7 years old. My dad told me about the scientists at the CSIRO. Your skills surprised me a lot. Would you like to make a dragon for me? I would like it if you can, but if you can’t, that’s fine. I will call it Toothless if it is a girl, and if it is a boy, I will name it Stuart. I will keep it in my garden where there is lots of space. I will feed it fish. I will play with it every weekend when I am free.
Love from Sophie
After hearing from Sophie, the scientists “made” the CSIRO’s first dragon at Lab(实验室) 22 in Melbourne.
“Our scientists usually printed insects (打印昆虫) before, so they thought they could also print a dragon, ”Chad Henry said.
