Some short stories about Darwin.

Darwin's mother Susan is the daughter of a famous pottery manufacturer. She is not only amiable, but also knowledgeable and educated. She likes planting flowers and fruit trees, and often takes advantage of various opportunities to cultivate Darwin's interest in the surrounding things; At the same time, she is patient and cherishes his curiosity. Whenever Darwin asked all kinds of strange "stupid" questions, she never blamed them, but patiently answered them. It was his mother's love and patience that made Darwin first interested in biology and the wonderful life world in which he lived.

18 15 One summer day, the weather was fine, there were a few white clouds floating in the blue sky, and the earth exuded attractive fragrance. Susan took Darwin and his brother and sister to play in the garden. The children picked some flowers to catch butterflies. Susan picked up a shovel to cultivate some newly planted seedlings. She scooped up a handful of black soil, sniffed it gently and planted it next to the roots of chestnut trees.

"Mom, I want to smell it, too." Darwin came running happily and smelled the black soil like his mother. Suddenly, Darwin looked up at his mother curiously and asked, "Mom, why do you want to cultivate saplings?"

"I want saplings to thrive like you, and saplings can't live without soil, just as you can't live without food."

"Just like I can't live without my mother, right?"

Susan smiled and said, "Smell it, it's the breath of nature, it's the breath of life! Although the soil is black, it is the foundation for the growth of all things. With it, we have lush grass, flocks of cattle and sheep, and we have meat and milk; With it, flowers can bloom, bees can fly in groups, and we can drink sweet and delicious honey; With it, oats and rice can grow and we have food and bread. "

"Then why can't kittens and puppies grow in the soil?" Darwin began to get to the bottom of it.

Susan smiled and said to Darwin, "Cats and puppies are born to cats and dogs. They can't grow out of the soil."

"My sister and I were born to you, and you were born to grandma, right?"

"Yes, all people are born to their mothers."

"So, um, who was the earliest mother and who gave birth to her?" "Then who created God?"

"Dear, there are many things in the world that are still a mystery to me, to your father and to everyone. I hope you can find the answer by yourself when you grow up and be a promising and learned person. "

Perhaps from then on, the question of where life came from was imprinted on Darwin's mind until he finally found the secret answer himself.

Strong curiosity and thirst for knowledge made young Darwin regard the greenhouse at home, the garden and the green world on both sides of the river in front of the door as his earliest class. He not only loves animals by nature, but also likes to collect specimens of various plants, shells and minerals. He often sits alone by the river or pond, quietly watching the fish swim underwater and watching the slowly flowing river. Under the careful guidance of his mother, he learned how to identify flowers and plants according to stamens and how to remember the names of various flowers and trees. With the deepening of his understanding of biology, his interest in biology is getting stronger and stronger.

Perhaps because of his love for biology, Darwin has always cherished all kinds of small life. He likes to touch eggs very much, but he will never take them all away, otherwise he thinks mother bird is too poor and lonely. Unfortunately, when Darwin was 8 years old, his mother died. From then on, Darwin was taken care of by his sisters.

Although her mother died young, Darwin's love for life and longing for beautiful things left a deep impression on her.

Darwin entered a private primary school this year, but he didn't like the boring Bible taught by the teacher in class, but he liked watching butterflies, bees and catching insects after class.

After entering middle school, Darwin still liked outdoor activities and his academic performance was average. The teacher thinks that he is "a mediocre child, far below the average intelligence level", and his father thinks that he "can't do anything but shoot birds, keep dogs and catch mice, and will lose the face of the whole family in the future".

/kloc-in the autumn of 0/825, Darwin entered the University of Edinburgh to study medicine according to his father's wishes, but he was not interested in medicine. The smell of autopsy made him sick. He often goes to the seaside with senior students to collect specimens of marine animals, makes friends with fishermen in this area, and sometimes goes fishing boats to catch shrimp or take geological classes. In this way, two years passed in medical school, and his medical courses were terrible. The father was very angry that his son didn't study medicine and didn't change his habit. He sent Darwin to Cambridge University to study theology, hoping that he would become a priest in the future.

"I heard that the earliest mother was Eve. Once, a student asked the priest, "Teacher, how did all kinds of creatures in the world come into being?"? "? What is the relationship between them? "

The priest replied solemnly, "All living things in the world were created by God for some purpose. For example, cats were created to eat mice, and mice were created to eat cats. Nothing in nature will change. "

Darwin didn't think so. He was absent-minded about theological courses and wasted a lot of precious time. But soon he met a person who had the greatest influence on his life, and this person made his passion for biology come out of generate again.

During an early summer holiday, Darwin was very upset that his father would not allow him to give up his theology major. At this time, his cousin invited him to visit the Botanical Garden of Cambridge University. Darwin wanted to go for fun, too, so he went gladly. However, during this period, "the most influential thing in his life" happened, that is, he met Professor Henslow.

Henslow, a famous professor of botany and mineralogy, greatly appreciated Darwin's biological talents. They go to the suburbs to collect specimens together, and sometimes they have to travel long distances to collect rare plant specimens. During his trip, Henslow regarded every novel animal and plant he came into contact with and every distinctive class as a vivid teaching material to impart Darwinian knowledge.
