Answer the question.
Pop princess Britney Spears would be very happy (or sad, maybe) if she knew what her songs can do for some German farmers.
Recently, some farmers in Germany have been playing Britney’s songs very often on their farms. Not that they like her songs a lot, but that her songs can drive away the troublesome wild boars!
As the boars are an endangered species(物种) in Germany, people can’t shoot or kill them. Farmers there tried to stop the boars from destroying their crops but failed.
One day, one of the German farmers noticed that all the boars were scared away when he started to play one of Britney’s songs!
The farmer was delighted and then he tried some other singers’ songs on the boars. Madonna’s and Robbie Williams’ songs didn’t work at all. Only Britney’s songs seemed to have the magical power. Every time her songs were played on his farm, the boars would go running away in a rush.
It’s reported quite a number of German farmers are using Britney’s magic songs to protect their vegetables and fruits.
Notes: boar – n. wild pig scare- v. frighten troublesome-adj. full of worries delighted- adj. happy
