遥远的森林里，住着一只凶猛强壮的老虎，小动物们都非常怕它。 有一天，它抓到了一只狐狸，狐狸说：“我是上天派下来做万兽之王的，如果你吃掉我，就会受到惩罚！如果你不信，就跟着我在森林里走一圈，看看动物们是不是见到我就害怕。”于是老虎便跟在狐狸后头走，它们每到一个地方，那里的动物都会吓得四处逃散。老虎见状就相信了狐狸说的话，但它并不知道动物们真正害怕的猛兽其实是自己。

Перевод часов в России : За и Против B1-B2

🐺Caperucita Roja y el Lobo.🐺

Caperucita Roja era una niña dulce que siempre llevaba una capa roja con capucha. Un día, su madre le pidió que llevara una cesta con pan y miel a su abuelita, que vivía en el bosque. Antes de salir, le advirtió: "No hables con extraños y sigue el camino directo a la casa de la abuela". Pero en el camino, Caperucita se encontró con un lobo astuto que, fingiendo amabilidad, le preguntó a dónde iba. Sin sospechar nada, la niña le contó su destino, y el lobo, con una sonrisa maliciosa, planeó llegar antes que ella.

El lobo corrió a la casa de la abuela y, con engaños, logró entrar. Se la comió de un bocado y luego se disfrazó con su ropa para esperar a Caperucita en la cama. Cuando la niña llegó, notó algo extraño en su "abuelita": "¡Qué ojos tan grandes tienes!" —dijo—. "Para verte mejor", respondió el lobo. "¡Y qué orejas tan grandes!", insistió Caperucita. "Para oírte mejor", contestó el lobo. "¡Y qué dientes tan grandes tienes!" —exclamó la niña asustada—. "¡Para comerte mejor!" Y de un salto, el lobo intentó atraparla.

Justo en ese momento, un leñador que pasaba por allí escuchó los gritos y entró corriendo a la casa. Con su hacha, ahuyentó al lobo y, al abrir su enorme barriga, rescató a la abuela sana y salva. Caperucita, agradecida, aprendió una gran lección: nunca debía hablar con extraños y siempre debía seguir las advertencias de su madre. Desde ese día, tuvo mucho más cuidado al caminar por el bosque.

Like many other grandmothers, Daisy likes to knit, and she isn't very good with technology.

Or, at least, that's what she might tell people on the phone.

Daisy also describes herself as "your worst nightmare." But don't worry, she's not talking to you — she's talking to phone scammers.

That's because Daisy is actually an AI chatbot. She was created by UK phone company Virgin Media O2 to speak to scammers on the phone and make them believe they're talking to a real person.

Older people are very vulnerable to scams. In July, a UK study found that about 67% of people over the age of 75 were victims of at least one scam attempt in the six months before the study — with almost 75% being phone scams.

Enter Daisy, who has been trained to have conversations with phone scammers and waste their time.

Virgin Media O2 worked with Jim Browning, a YouTuber who has spent years "scambaiting" — that is, pretending to be a clueless victim to waste scammers' time.

And that's the whole point — Daisy can't stop scammers, but she can slow them down.

"Whenever she's on the phone with a scammer, your parents, your grandparents, your relatives, are not being scammed," Browning told Sky News.

The company says Daisy is already "wasting hundreds and hundreds of hours of scammers' time," and has shared real-life conversations the chatbot has had with scammers.

Some conversations last nearly an hour. She talks about her cat, Fluffy, and people in her family. In some conversations, she gives the scammers what they want — bank details. But of course, they're not real.

Murray Mackenzie from Virgin Media O2 said Daisy is also a reminder that the person you're speaking to on the phone might not always be who they say they are.

Meet the AI Grandma Wasting Scammers' Time

In many of the world's richer countries, young adults feel they can't afford to start a family. They also see the idea of buying a house as an impossible dream.

So, they're going on holiday instead!

And Elizabeth Currid-Halkett from the University of Southern California told CNN that young people are happy to take on some debt to go on a trip.

That's because it feels like a very small amount of debt compared to the cost of college or a house.

In fact, a May 2024 survey by US money website WalletHub found that two out of five Americans agree: they think it's worth going into debt to be able to have a good vacation.

Some call it "doom spending" — spending money on short-term pleasure, not saving it for something bigger in the future.

People point to the fact that house prices have increased much faster than wages, and so young adults today feel that saving for a home isn't realistic.

They feel the money would be better spent on a nice vacation.

There are also airlines that let customers book a flight but pay for it later, something that may appeal to these younger travelers.

However, experts say doom spending is a risky way to use your money, especially if it becomes a habit.

Money expert Louise Hill told Sky News that spending on short-term pleasure also makes it even harder to save for big things in life like a house or a family.

She said: "By the time you've saved enough for it, think about whether you still really want it."
