短腿马致报警电话不断

A pony with short legs in Southampton, the UK, has caused numerous people to call the emergency services in a mistaken belief she is stuck in the mud, the Daily Telegraph reported. Her owner is now considering erecting signs advising good-intentioned passers-by as he worries that rescue crews may never come again if he really has an emergency.(See photo)

据英国《每日电讯报》报道，英国南安普顿市有一只天生腿短的小马，每次行人经过都以为它陷入泥潭而打紧急电话给警方。小马的主人考虑，应写个警示牌提醒好心的路人，否则自己日后真的打紧急电话，救援队可能不会来了。(见图)
