The little girl growing out of the back of an ostrich

Tippi’s parents are wildlife photographers who have worked in Africa for many years and love nature very much. I am very lucky to be their child. I can have the mysterious life experience of cool Africa at a young age. More than half of the story called "My Wild Animal Friends" written by the young author Tippi is taken by the parents for their daughter. wonderful photos. Tippi was born in Namibia. Before going to school, she traveled with adults to photograph wild animals in the African desert. Naturally, from a toddler to a bouncing child, all her naivetés became the subject of capture by her parents' cameras. Perhaps human childhood has many similarities with animals in nature, and Tippi has an extraordinary talent: he can communicate with wild animals with his eyes: wild elephants as tall as hills will carefully follow them. Tippi walked on her toes because her little sister Tippi was just over a year old and a toddler at the time. Yes, Tippi has always affectionately called the elephant "my brother Abu."

A kind of "Cui Cui fly" with a big tongue in Africa stings everyone it sees, and the sting is very painful, but it never touches the little girl Tippi. For this reason, Tippi's own explanation is, "This is a mystery... Maybe they think I belong to nature."

Once, JB the cheetah bit Tippi on the small shoulder, It looked like he could swallow her whole. The adults were all horrified because the cheetah had a tainted record of chasing and biting little African boys who ran away in fear. It turned out later that it was all a false alarm: JB had only nibbled Tippi, as if they were just children teasing each other. Even playing games is so dangerous, but Tippi has her own little experience that has been tried and tested: "Animals come from the side of good people", "It is absolutely impossible to panic and run away when encountering wild beasts" because "Wild animals are like my family members", "Never be afraid, fear is useless", "But always be careful", because even after being domesticated, "a leopard is still a leopard".

It doesn’t get much weirder than the cover photo. An ostrich and a little girl seem to have never been separated. Tippi is not so much sitting on the ostrich's back as it is growing out of the ostrich's back. How could she be so airy? It turns out that because "it's very comfortable to sit on the back of an ostrich", even though it has "spurs" (i.e. nails) that are sharp enough to disembowel predators, it is very friendly to Tippi and "is always afraid of knocking me over. I don’t want to move my body.” Also, the grasslands of Africa, the wind on the grasslands, the blue sky of Africa, and the clouds under the blue sky. The depth of the little girl's beauty is even more unexpected. She actually claimed: "I love to laugh, and I also like the feeling of the wind blowing my hair." She already has a strong sense of self-aesthetics.

I think Tippi was still lonely and suffered a lot. You can even say that Tippi went to hang out with various wild animals because he had no friends to play with. Moreover, when it comes to wild animals, "taking photos will not scare them, but the shotgun is different." Compared with the countless hands that pull the trigger, Tippi's parents are just the hands that click the shutter. , seems so persistent and helpless!

Even Little Tippi’s black friends, the indigenous African bush people, know that they will not kill wild animals unless absolutely necessary. Once they kill them for meat, they will worship them religiously. Thank you for sacrificing your life to feed your tribe. This must have been the case in the early days of mankind, when killing was a costly conscious act and protection was an unconscious act of inaction. It's not like it was completely reversed, where killing was unconscious but protecting was costly.

Tippi went to elementary school in Paris peacefully and was a popular storyteller in the class. The beauty of her hometown, Paris, could not stop the child's faint melancholy. She somewhat fatalistically believed that only Africa was her hometown, because the sparrows, pigeons or horses in Paris could not understand her eyes.

In Jin Yong's "Tian Long Ba Bu", there is a little witch Zhong Ling, who is cunning and eccentric. She lives in the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations in Wuliang Mountain in the southwest of the country. She is accompanied by a small mink that moves as fast as lightning. The mink was fed a small snake by its owner in 2001, so the mink is highly venomous. Once someone comes close, the mink will bite it immediately, and the person bitten will die immediately, as if to show people all the taboos about nature and girls. In a recent photo, ten-year-old Tippi looks back at us, with a hint of girlish reserve and independence in her eyes. There is a Madagascar lemur lying on her lower back, which looks very much like a Chinese mink - the whole person looks like a European version of Zhong Ling. The harmonious relationship between man and nature contained in this is probably what Tippi wants to say.

All the girls I know are domesticated, except me. I am wild. I live in the African jungle and the wild animals are like members of my family. My talent is to get close to animals. I can talk to animals and communicate with them with my eyes. I have African blood flowing in my veins, but my skin is white. The color of your skin shouldn't matter at all. I really don’t understand why humans kill wild animals. It’s so ridiculous. If we kill all the wild animals, there will be no wild animals left, so how can we take photos? Taking photos will not scare them, but the shotgun is different. I love to laugh, and I also like the wind blowing my hair. Some of us humans are very vicious, and there is no reason to be so cruel, and they are just doing it for fun. These people come from the bad crowd.

I see, animals come from the side of good people, not from the side of bad guys. It would be nice to have some surprises in life. Even the little surprises. To get surprises, don't forget to observe those beautiful things. Animals are never ferocious, but they are more aggressive. As long as you understand it, respect it, love it, and don't cause it to misunderstand, you can get kindness in return from the animal. With her pure intuition, she concluded that animals were from the side of good people. There were no bread trees in the city, so I had to climb up the lamppost. God is gone, but He exists, alone. I really want to do something to protect nature, but it is simply impossible. It seems that I have to ask God for help. Why not make me an Englishman? I really like English. When I tell a secret, it is always difficult to find the words, especially a deep secret. You shouldn't lie to your mother. I lied to my mother because I had confidence in myself.
