Körbeforgó szép természet


A történeteknek általában van eleje, közepe és vége. A világban sincs ez másképp. A legfontosabb események elkezdődnek, lezajlanak, és véget érnek - majd újra elkezdődnek. A békáktól a gomolygó felhőkön át a hunyorgó csillagokig! 48 történet a minket mindenhol körülvevő örök változásokról, a természet aprócska vagy éppen hatalmas nagy körforgásairól. Elég körülnézni, és élőben is megtapasztalhatod őket - évről évre. Parányi lényektől a világűrig a dolgok ciklikusan ismétlődnek: születnek, kifejlődnek, élnek és elmúlnak. A kérész élete néhány óráig tart, a holdasszövőé egy hétig, a dajkabéka a csodás metamorfózisa után nyolc évig is élhet, az orangutánkölyök hosszú évek után válik önállóvá, a nőstény csörgőkígyó kétévente hoz világra utódokat, és akár 25 évig is élhet, a jegesmedve bocsai két évig készülnek rá, hogy leváljanak anyjukról, a medveállatka akár 30 évre is képes hibernálni magát, az ember 80, 90 vagy akár 100 évig is élhet, és holtig tanul. A haldokló tölgy a tápanyagait a talajba küldi. A korhadó fán gombák tenyésznek, benne szarvasbogárlárvák rágnak. Az ősszel elvetett búzamag nyárra kifejlett növénnyé fejlődik. A pitypang igazi túlélő, szinte bárhol gyökeret ereszt, és magjai a széllel messzire repülnek, a parányi gombaspórákból terebélyes föld alatti háló nő, a termőtestekből pedig milliónyi spóra kel útra. A majomkenyérfa életciklusa több ezer évig is tarthat. A zivatarok jönnek-mennek, és egy óra alatt elvonulnak. A földi létet a nappalok és éjszakák és az évszakok váltakozása határozza meg. A víz örök körforgásban járja útját óceántól óceánig égen-földön át. A vulkánok kitörnek, szunnyadnak, majd kialszanak, de másutt új vulkánok születnek. A föld kincsei sok millió év alatt születnek a mélyben. A napsugár a születésétől 170 ezer év, 8 perc, 20 másodperc alatt ér a szemünk elé. A Hold ciklusa 29,53 napig tart. Az üstökös útja 1000 évig is elhúzódhat. A Föld élete 4,6 milliárd éve kezdődött.

A Song for Bear


One day Bear decides he will sing with the birds - he has heard every tune and he knows all the words. But as hard as he tries to fit in with their song, when he opens his mouth it comes out sort of wrong. Each creature is different, that's just how it goes, but will Bear ever realise what's under his nose? Bear wakes every morning to beautiful birdsong, and longs to join in. He stretches his legs, puts on his cap and braces and thinks he must try to join in with the beautiful bird song all around him in the forest. But he is downhearted to discover his song is more of `a holler, a howl and rumbling growl; With a sort of snore, all combined in a "ROAR!"'. His wise friend, Owl, tries to encourage him by pointing out that Bear is not a bird, but Bear gets the wrong end of the stick and attempts to fly, as if that might improve the quality of his song by making him more bird-like. In the end, Bear concentrates on what he does best. All of the forest animals gather to watch him perform his new song, and cheer in amazement at his newfound talent. Satisfied with finding what makes him unique, Bear smiles to himself and promptly falls back to sleep.
