Pop singer star Britney Spears would feel happy (or amused) if she knew what her songs can do for some
German farmers.
Recently, some farmers in Germany have been playing Britney's songs very often on their farms. Not that
they like her songs a lot, but that her songs can drive away the troublesome wild boars (野猪)!
As the boars are an enered animal in Germany, people can't shoot or kill them. Farmers there tried their
best to stop the boars from destroying their crops but failed.
One day, one of the German farmers noticed that all the boars were scared away when he started to play
one of Britney's songs!
The farmer was delighted and then he tried some other singers on the boars. Madonna's and Robbie
Williams' songs didn't work at all.
Only Britney's songs seemed to have the magical power. Every time her songs were played on his farm, the
boars would go running away in a rush.
It's reported quite a number of German farmers are using Britney's magic songs to protect their vegetable
and fruits.
