Why should
16、anyone be frightened by a hat？”My drawing was not a picture of a hat.It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant.But since the grownups were not able to understand it，I made another drawing.I drew the inside of the boa constrictor so that the grownups could see it clearly.They always

27、ten use an ingredient that comes from sperm whales, called ambergris.

28、gist at the University of British Columbia in Canada.

31、s: Bohlmann put the gene from the tree into yeast (酵母) cells.Yeast may sound familiar because its used to make things like bread, wine and beer.

32、yeast, the yeast started making the same chemical that had been produced by the tree.Perfumers pay big money for ambergris because it is a fixative, which means it holds a smell in place on a persons body.“Cheap perfumes smell good in the first hour or so and then everything is gone，” explains Bohlm
33、ann. “But expensive perfumes are much more stable. Their smell lasts much longer, for hours or even a day after you apply them.”The new chemical, made from the tree genes, can be used as a fixative, too. And using yeast to make it is far cheaper than acquiring ambergris.Bohlmann admits he never thou

41、as one approached my car. “We are the Brother of the Wheel，” he said. “We are collecting money for Christmas Toy Drive for needy children.” As I pulled a dollar out of my wallet I looked past his beard and into his eyes. They shined with goodness and kindness that came right from his soul. I dropped
