  Do you think that animals or plants also have spirits? 你觉得动植物也有灵魂吗?
  A long time ago, some people believed that animals and plants had spirits and supernatural powers. 很久以前,有些人认为动植物不仅有灵魂,而且还有超自然的力量。
  These animals and plants were called totems. 这些动植物被称为图腾。
  Can any animal or plant become a totem? Yes, it can. 所有动植物都能成为图腾吗?是的。
  But there should be a group of people who believe in it. 但得要有一群相信它的人。
  Some ancient people also thought their ancestors were animals. 还有一些古人认为他们的祖先是动物。
  For example, one Korean myth tells us that a bear is the ancestor of all Koreans. 例如,一个朝鲜神话宣称熊是所有朝鲜人的祖先。
  So, we can learn that the bear was a totem for Koreans a long time ago. 因此,我们知道很久以前熊就是朝鲜人的图腾。
