Every year on October 4th is the World Animal Day. It is proposed by the Italian monk St Francis in 12th century. He lives in the forests of Assisi Island for the long time, building a good relationship with the animals. So he asks people to express thanks to the animals on October 4th. He sets a good example for our human beings about how to deal with the relationship with animals. In order to memorize him and what he does, we make October, 4th to be World Animal Day. Nowadays, people from all over the world will hold various activities to celebrate on that day. The aim of this festival is to remind people to care for all animals and build a harmonious relationship with them. 每年的十月四日是世界動物日。它是由意大利修道士聖弗蘭西斯在十二世紀提出的。他長期生活在阿西西島上的森林中，與動物建立了良好的關係。所以他要求村民們在10月4日這天向動物表示感謝。他爲如何正確處理與動物的關係樹立了一個很好的榜樣。後人爲了紀念他和他所做的，我們把十月四號定爲世界動物日。現在，在那一天來自世界各地的人會用各種活動來慶祝這一節日。這一節日的目的在於提醒人們關愛所有的動物，與他們建立和諧的關係。
