清晨的阳光斜斜地洒在SMD办公室的窗台上，但四年级班主任Boucaud女士的脸上却没有亮色。她带着一丝焦虑和担忧走进来。“我需要一个安慰的拥抱，”她低声对 SMD 经理说，眼睛微微发红。SMD 经理看起来很困惑，直到 Boucaud 女士说出了那句令人心痛的话：“我们班的宠物 Snowflake 已经失踪了 24 小时。

在教室里，G4 的学生似乎也有点慌乱。他们同时交谈起来，有些人表达了深深的担忧：“如果雪花这么小，找不到吃的东西怎么办？“也有人担忧地猜测，”会不会躲在某个阴暗的角落里，出不来了？有些人甚至试图用幽默来缓解紧张情绪：“Snowflake 一定是被我们的科学博览会所吸引。有这么多有趣的项目，它可能会让人眼花缭乱！

The story of Snowflake began around this time last year. G4 students were very interested in having a pet. The teachers astutely recognized this opportunity and decided to cultivate the students' sense of responsibility and patience by having a class pet, which also served as a practical way to engage with science. After lively discussions and a vote, the lively and adorable little hamster Snowflake became everyone's choice. Gradually, Snowflake became more than just a part of science class; it became a source of joy and comfort. The students took turns caring for it, feeding it, cleaning its cage, and often gathered around to observe its every move. Whenever they saw Snowflake happily running around in its play area, the students' faces would light up with happy smiles.

上一学年结束时，G4 的学生们将他们心爱的宠物 Snowflake 郑重地托付给了即将进入 G4 的低年级学生。他们聚集在雪花的笼子周围，无数次提醒，担心这个小生命会受到哪怕是最轻微的伤害。他们告诉新小组 Snowflake 喜欢吃什么，什么时候需要水，如何清洁笼子，如何给它洗澡——每一个细节都得到了详尽的解释。在那一刻，感觉他们仿佛传递的是一件珍贵的宝藏，而不仅仅是一只小仓鼠。

However, Snowflake's sudden disappearance brought an abrupt end to the usual laughter and joy in the classroom. Ms. Boucaud felt an overwhelming heaviness in her heart as she recalled every moment spent with Snowflake, filled with worry and reluctance. 

In the campus, both teachers and students began to pay attention to every tiny movement. Whenever a faint sound came from a corner, someone would stop what they were doing to listen carefully, fearing they might miss any sound that "Snowflake" might make. During their free time, teachers also checked every corner of the classrooms, including the gaps in the bookshelves and the drawers of the desks, afraid of overlooking any possible hiding spots. After learning about the habits of hamsters, the SMD team quickly developed a night-time search plan. As night fell, security guards, armed with flashlights, conducted a thorough search of every corner of the building. They not only checked the classrooms and offices but also explored every corner of the public study areas, fearing they might miss any trace left by "Snowflake." Just when everyone was about to lose hope, good news arrived. Thanks to the meticulous inspection by the security guards, the little creature, missing for 36 hours, was finally found. The next morning, when the students walked into the classroom with anticipation, they were delighted to find the familiar yellow-and-white hamster leisurely enjoying sunflower seeds in its cage. The students rushed excitedly toward Snowflake, eager to reach out and pet it. Ms. Boucaud also smiled and remarked, "It seems Snowflake missed us too. It's finally back!" This experience made the children cherish "Snowflake" even more and deeply understand the importance of responsibility and teamwork. Throughout the search process, the security officers demonstrated touching dedication. They not only actively participated in the search during critical moments but also silently guarded the safety of every student in their daily lives. Whether it was the first ray of sunlight in the morning or the last light at night, the security officers consistently stood firm in their posts. They meticulously observed every detail to ensure that every corner of the campus was safe and secure. The school's logistics team, teaching assi
