Blogger 2: Living in Harmony with Nature

  On the first day of Chinese New Year, I visited Singapore Zoo with my uncle; this was, as far as I am concerned, really not only an interesting but also a meaningful experience, from which I have learnt a lot about harmony.

   Before I start to tell you about my trip, I think all of us have ever visited zoos in China, just take myself as an example. My impressions of zoos are just matters of various animals lying in cages lazily and crowded tourists taking photos busily; to some extent, I have to say that these pitiful animals are no difference to prisoners, while we, human beings, are like rulers having complete control over our prisons——animals. Nevertheless, I have seen a quite different image in Singapore Zoo.

   Once I entered the zoo, I was greeted by so many towering trees that I even began to doubt whether I have burst in a jungle. As I moved deeper, all of a sudden, I heard excited screams made by a blond who was looking up into the sky. I just raised my head, you guess what I saw? A monkey was hanging upside down with its tail and making faces to us! Or maybe you could say it was greeting us in its special way, but it was so cute and funny that we all took out our cameras, and this naughty monkey just stayed there with its innocent eyes opening wide. What a lively image! We all smiled to each other and even waved to the little lovely creature to say goodbye after taking photos. How about those fierce giant beasts? Tigers, lions and so on cannot run out freely in case of safety. In fact, there are no bars or high walls surrounding them; what they have around is just a clear and peace lake. The environment is really similar to nature where these animals once lived.

Human and animals are just like friends living together, or, exactly speaking, we ought to be good friends in harmony. That is the true way in which we are supposed to get along with nature.
