A TRIP TO AMAZING LIVING PLANET - Kuldeep Apte (animal farm read .txt) 📗

Great Smoky Mountains NATIONAL PARK, The Great Smoky Mountains really come into full bloom during the summer months. Appalachian vistas as far as the eye can see are on display and really draw in visitors far and wide to the region. It's at this time that the surrounding East Tennessee hills are covered in a dense, lush Appalachian foliage made up of many plant and tree species unlike anywhere else in North America. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is, without a doubt, in its most vibrant state between May and September. Therefore, it's no surprise that during the months of May through August tourists flock to the area more than at any other four month period during the year. Let see How Bantru excursion team will enjoy their visit.

 

Khantu: Hello guys, There will be lot of humans around this place to see fire flies, most of them are American. To avoid detection, your body features are matching as Japanese people, who are from an island country in Far East corner of Vasu. If American try to contact you, you can pretend that you do not understand their language and you can say “Konichiwa” means hello in Japanese language then most of American will not try to contact you further.

 

Lupta: Why is it so dark here?

 

Khantu: it is night time in this region and is not illuminated by artificial light.

 

Lupta: This is so different. I hardly turn off lights in my room or elsewhere.

 

Etma: Do you mean that this is scary?

 

Lupta: Not exactly.

 

Etma: This is so difficult terrain to walk and these green grass and tree are adding difficulty.

 

Huha: Don’t compliant Etma, it was all describe in our Vasu acquaintance VR program. I am enjoying this bumpy walk on grass.

 

Itka: Actually grass is acting shock absorber, so this will not hurt us more compared to walking on stone covered terrain.

 

Narrator: After a small walk they started seeing a faint green light was flashing here and there, some fire flies flying all over, looks like,

[Following song can be sing in choir and kids can hold green LEDs and move around]

 

Festival of twinkling light

 

hot day passed in smoky wood
dusky light perishing in chancy surround
tiny winy little shiny glowing in fond
riding on cooler breeze, fairies flying around

the little ones dancing on tune of wind
making waves of happiness in around
tiny winy little shiny glowing in fond
riding on cooler breeze, fairies flying around

in pursuit of love dazzling act they deed
thus everlasting stream of lives they formed
tiny winy little shiny glowing in fond
riding on cooler breeze, fairies flying around

 

 

 

 

     Lupta: I like those green light emitting insect. Those are wondering here and there.

 

Huha: It was great light display, I want to catch and take them to home.

 

Lupta: Huha, you can’t, those insects will not able to live in our planet environment.

 

Itma: It was cold and dark but those little creatures singing song of love.

 

Huha: It was so alive, the aroma of bush and wild flowers really astonishing.

 

Itma: We are living very unreal life. I never had such experience in VR.

 

Etma: I saw a firefly was eating other fire fly, Are these fire fly practise cannibals?

 

Khantu: No, those are other species of fire fly, who imitating the light signals of other firefly species' females to attract, kill, and eat the males. [Suddenly Khantu saw human are coming in their direction.] Hey guys humans are coming pretend your behaviour as Japanese human, remember “Konichiwa”.

 

One person from Humans: Hello guys, how’s fire flies?

 

Etma: “Konichiwa”

 

The Person: “Konichiwa”, Are you from Japan? My name is Tom.

 

Etma: “Konichiwa”

 

Khantu: Hello, my name is Tanaka. English very little know. Tourist to watch fire flies, we saw many fire flies and those are lovely.

 

Tom: Oh, enjoy sightseeing.

 

Khantu: Thank you, you can see more on right.

 

Tom: Thanks, “Sayonara”, Bye... Bye...

 

Khantu: Bye... Bye...

[All humans move ahead to see fire flies. Now Tom is out of sight of Japanese people. Tom started talking with James.]

 

Tom: Weird, there are good places in Japan for fire fly watching. When I was in Japan, I went to Torikawa village to see fire flies. Those Japanese may came to visit some other places and might have herd of this.

 

James: Oh, it is weird but not unusual.

 

Narrator: Bantru excretion team starts walking towards their hidden ship, the team looked amaze by natural surroundings. Some of them speechless.

 

Khantu: As I told you if you pretend as Japanese person, you can avoid too many questions.

 

Etma: oh, that was close.

 

Khantu: Now, we will move back to our mothership “Jakado” to create report for today’s observation. Our next venture would be near South Pole of Vasu. Very cold place and winter over there.

 

Huha: There were lot of trees and ponds.

 

Itma: Trees does photosynthesis to produce their own food and consumed by other animals.

 

Huha: the place was surrounded by mist. There were some trees living hand in hand.

 

Itma: Here life depends on each other.

 

Lupta: In ancient time we had Trees on our planet but eventual we lost, probably we lost sense of living together.

 

Khantu: We lost animals and trees and associated food chain with it. Now we consumed food by artificial means by tissue culture.

 

Act2, Scene 1

[Place] Antarctica, a snow covered land with chilling cold.

 

 

Narrator: Bantru excretion team starts their journey to Antarctica, A land of abounded with snow. Team reached in freezing Winter of Antarctica.

 

Itka: This looks more like most of our planet Zazu, cold and covered with snow. But I can’t see sun light. Is it a night here?

 

Khantu: No, It is a day, a winter day. Vasu rotates with an angle so for six month in a year is dark night, 24 hour night and remaining six months sun does not set so 24 hour day.

 

Etma: freezing cold, my temperature monitoring system is showing -54C.

 

Khantu: Yes, Antarctica is Vasu's southernmost continent. Antarctica is covered by ice that averages 1.9 km (1.2 mi; 6,200 ft) in thickness. It is the coldest, driest, and windiest continent, and has the highest average elevation of all the continents on Vasu.

 

Etma: So it mean we are here almost in peak of winter. But why we are here? I can’t see anything interesting.

 

Khantu: There are some birds which lives in such harsh winter named as Penguins. These birds cannot fly but they can swim in sea around Antarctica. Penguin’s primary diet is fish.

 

Etma: What they are doing in interior of Antarctica? For fish eating creatures usually prefers costal area.

     Khantu: Interior of Antarctica is their breeding ground. They are here to hatch their eggs in such terrible cold.

 

Lupta: Interesting, I want to know more about it.

 

[They walk further and seeing penguins.]

 

Khantu: [Pointing his finger.] These are Emperor penguins, after laying the eggs, the mother's nutritional reserves are exhausted and she very carefully transfers the egg to the male, before immediately returning to the sea for two months to feed. The transfer of the egg can be awkward and difficult, and many couples drop the egg in the process. When this happens, the chick inside is quickly lost, as the egg cannot withstand the freezing temperatures on the icy ground. The male spends the dark winter incubating the egg in his brood pouch, balancing it on the tops of his feet, for 64 consecutive days until hatching. By the time the egg hatches, the male will have fasted for around 115 days since arriving at the colony. To survive the cold and winds of up to 200 km/h (120 mph), the males huddle together, taking turns in the middle of the huddle. They have also been observed with their backs to the wind to conserve body heat.

 

 

 

Place to live

 

On the landscape of blue and white
standing strong and walking unite tap... tap... tap...

 

We hatch our eggs in never ending night
warming them with the warmth of love
standing strong and walking unite tap... tap... tap...

 

We raise our offspring in astonishing cold
feeding them with the precious wealth of ocean
standing strong and walking unite tap... tap... tap...

 

We work with our companion in furious wind
months goes without food in hunger
still standing strong and walking unite tap... tap... tap...

 

On open sea seals waiting to feast on us
we pierce through them for life
standing strong and walking unite tap... tap... tap...

 

Freezing wind and towering snow
living proudly in this southern end of world
standing strong and walking unite tap... tap... tap...

 

The sky glows with green and yellow
showering bless on us for hard earn place to alive
standing strong and walking unite tap... tap... tap...

 

[All of them are speechless while watching penguins.]

 

 

Narrator: They are going back to their spaceship “LoLo”, which was parked near cost which is a warm abode for team to rest and travel back.

 

Khantu: No place on Vasu compares to this vast white wilderness of snow, ice, water, rock. Antarctica is simply marvellous.

 

Huha: I am speechless, I am really speechless. How can a species work so hard to survive?

 

Khantu: Surviving is ultimate thing for living creatures. Their living was not just for survival but there are rejoicing in company of each other.

 

Etma: I think, their love of their kids encouraging them to fight cold and snow.

 

Khantu: In our next trip to Vasu, we will see joy of togetherness. But now we will visit some other planets to understand different environment. A planet like Ituna which is near to Vasu and having similar features as Vasu but there is no life on that planet.

 

Etma: When will be our next Vasu trip?

 

Khantu: After three Vasu Months.

 

Etma: That’s long time.

 

Khantu: Yes, but our next visit to see flying in unison

Act2, Scene 2

[Place] Sacramento River, Sacramento, California, USA

 

 

Narrator: Bantru excursion team starts their journey to Sacramento, California to see flying starling in unison. Group is playing old trick and impersonated as Japanese to assimilate. The autumn was over the air is filled with essence of passing fall.

 

Huha: Even though it is a day still is getting cold here.

 

Khantu: Winter, a cold season is started in north hemisphere of Vasu.

 

Etma: I can’t see any animal in this fields. This does not look like forest to me.

 

Khantu: Yes, it is not forest and is 4:30 o’clock after noon. Soon starling, small birds will start murmuration, flying in unison to make different patterns in sky. Hundreds of birds will gather, this will be amazing sight. Throughout the northern hemisphere on
