 The last time Emily Bland met Rishi the orang-utan, they were both still at the crawling stage.So when the pair were reunited two years later, there was a whole new world of play to explore. The three-year-olds spent a blissful afternoon climbing, swinging from rings and tyres, pedalling around on a plastic tricycle and sometimes pausing for a hug in scenes reminiscent of the 'I Wanna Be Like You' sequence in the Disney film of The Jungle Book.     Rishi lives with his adopted family of four older orang-utans at the Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species (TIGERS) in Miami, Florida. His first day of play with Emily came in 2008 when her father Barry, a photographer, had an assignment at the institute and took her along. 'Rishi loved Emily pouring water over his head in the paddling pool,' said her mother Sophie. 'Their play together was so alike it was amazing. 'When we told Emily we were going to visit Rishi again she was very excited. She has often talked about Rishi and if you ask her to name her friends, he's always included.' All the animals at the institute are allowed to roam free. Director Dr Bhagavan Antle said: 'Even though Rishi loves his orang-utan family, he is the youngest and likes to play. 'It was a wonderful day for both of them. It was fun for him to play with her but also just hugging her and enjoying a relaxing day.'    |
Four Seasons, One Place (story)
 The following 4 pictures are of the same place but taken in different Seasons...Story - Lessons on Life: There was a man who had four sons He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away. The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall. When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said, 'The tree was ugly, bent, and twisted'. The second son said, 'No, it was covered with green buds and full of promise'. The third son disagreed; he said, 'It was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing I've ever seen'. The last son disagreed with all of them; he said, 'It was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment'. The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but only one season in the tree's life. He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they are and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up. If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, fulfillment of your fall. Moral of the Story:- > Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest. > Don't judge life by one difficult season. > Persevere through the difficult patches and better times are sure to come some time or later.    |
