marmot

In an unknown year, due to overhunting by humans, the marmot population was nearly wiped out. The remaining marmots hid in the dirt and did not return to the surface. Their population was thus preserved, and after thousands of years of recuperation underground, they became a much larger colony than before, outnumbering even ants.

On this day, the marmots selected a representative from each district to attend the assembly at the chief's house. They discussed the question of "whether humans should be made aware of the existence of marmots". Because according to the literature of the human world, the marmot was declared extinct thousands of years ago, and their name has long been erased from the encyclopedia of animals.

At the meeting, some people of the older generation shook their heads desperately, believing that for thousands of years, the people of the tribe had lived freely underground, and it did not matter whether human beings recognized it or not. And the younger generation doesn't think so, they feel that the human world will have more and better resources, and they should return to the ground.

Although the older generation has never budged, the power of the young people is too great after all. There was no surprise in the outcome of the conference, with nearly eighty percent of the delegates voting in favour. According to the results of the conference, the plan was officially finalized and called the "Famous Plan". ”

For better implementation, the think tank came up with three ideas. The first plan was to send some marmots to the human restaurant, and they fought for the honor of their family, jumping into the boiling porridge without hesitation, and boiling a pot of marmot porridge with their lives. Some of them infiltrate perfume factories and mix flesh and blood with various ingredients to make special perfumes. Some of them plucked the fur off their bodies, worked overnight, knitted a ratskin coat, and sent them to various stores.

The marmot porridge is smooth and tender, which makes people feel fragrant. Groundhog perfume has the miraculous effect of preserving the fragrance, which amazes the women. The ratskin jacket is soft and comfortable, with an unparalleled feel, and has become the new darling of the fashion industry. Major media outlets are rushing to report that species that were extinct thousands of years ago may have reappeared.

The marmots were in high spirits and held a banquet that night to celebrate the success of the "Fame Conference". What they didn't know was that tens of thousands of hunters were also dispatched that night. When they were drunk, a large group of hunters infiltrated and captured countless groundhogs. Due to the market coaxing and human hunting, the marmot is dying out even faster than it was a thousand years ago.

Seeing that there was no way out, the patriarch took the rest of his people deeper into the ground, and ordered that they should not return to the surface for generations. Of course, because they came and went in a hurry, in the end the animal encyclopedia still did not record them.

In this way, time passed slowly, and I don't know how many years passed. One morning after the rain, a little groundhog accidentally broke through the soft soil and looked at the world curiously with his clear eyes...
