Why do ostriches live in the desert

1 Long ago, ostriches were petite and good at flying, just like ordinary birds. Later, seeing that life was carefree and there were no enemies, the ostrich simply put its nest in the grass nest, slept every day when it was full, ate fatter than other birds, and gradually lost its wings and could no longer fly. "Stupid bird, can't fly!" Sometimes other birds play such a joke on him, and the ostrich will answer, "What is this? You can't be a bird like flying. " "What a shame to be a bird!" The other side stretched out the longest flying feather and scratched his face. "Throw it away, don't be ashamed, birds are better than big buffaloes!" "This shows that I eat well," said the ostrich, "because there are more bugs in the grass nest than in the trees. Do you want a bite? "Next, a good-natured ostrich will please the other person to eat and tell him jokes-whether he is a partridge, a parrot or a magpie. Therefore, all animals like to visit ostrich's house, especially birds, and ostriches also like to laugh and chat with birds. One day, a little partridge, a little parrot, a little magpie, a brown eared pheasant and a bird of paradise came to visit the ostrich. The ostrich was very happy and rushed to feed them all kinds of fresh insects. When everyone is full, the parrot asks the ostrich to tell a new joke. The ostrich thought for a moment and said, "well, I'll tell you the most interesting one this time, but there is one condition ..." "What condition? "Asked the little partridge." If this joke makes the bird of paradise laugh, she must let us enjoy her dance! Said the ostrich. "No problem," replied the bird of paradise. I happened to practice a new dance recently. But what if I don't laugh? ""Then let the ostrich dance! Said the little magpie. Ok, no problem. "The ostrich said," Next, I began to talk about it: once, a frog met a buffalo ... "Listen, everyone, the flying squirrel king is going to promulgate a new rule!" Suddenly, the herald of the forest kingdom, a loud crow flew over and interrupted the gathering of ostriches and friends. What are the rules? All the animals ran out and listened carefully. 3 "In order to maintain the peace of the forest kingdom, the king has just formulated a' Kingdom Peace Law', which contains all the words that may endanger the peace of the kingdom. From today on, if anyone speaks the' harmful words' contained in the' Kingdom Peace Law', it may cause damage to the peace of the forest kingdom and be severely punished. It's over. " "That's it? "As soon as the crow finished communicating, everyone asked," What is' harmful words'? What does the' Kingdom Peace Law' stipulate? " "I don't know. "The crow replied." Why? "Asked the porcupine." Without the authorization of the king, no one may disclose the' harmful words' contained in the' Kingdom Peace Law'. "The crow replied." All right, let's go see the king. "Brother Hedgehog said." It's no use. Said the crow. Why? "Buffalo asked the king that he would never reveal the contents of the' Kingdom Peace Law' to any animal for the sake of confidentiality. "The crow replied." "It's strange," said the Badger angrily, "to know the law is to obey it! If you don't even know the legal provisions, it may be illegal to say a word casually! " The badger's voice just fell and suddenly disappeared. Where he stood, he could only see a small piece of paper. "Strange, how did the badger suddenly disappear? "The buffalo asked," This is very strange, "and the porcupine said that it was there just now ... Look at what was written on this little note. ""Please read it out loud so that everyone can listen! " The hedgehog said ok, "said the porcupine, and read aloud," Dear Badger, what you just said contains' harmful words' contained in the peace law of the kingdom. It needs to be reviewed by the Peace Law Enforcement Committee of the Kingdom to determine whether your words really hurt the peace of the forest kingdom. Please don't say the same thing again in order to support our work. Thank you for your cooperation. The Law Enforcement Committee announced. " "Wow, this law is implemented so fast! "The buffalo shook its head in surprise." Yes, the badger was taken away before we saw the shadow of the law enforcement Committee! Said the ostrich. Badger just didn't say anything? "The little partridge said," He just said,' Strangely, you should know the law first, and then you can keep it …' Just as the little partridge said this, the ostrich only felt a gust of wind and sand passing by, and quickly closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, the little partridge disappeared, and there was another small note on the ground ... We dared not meet again, and we dared not speak loudly when we met on the road. Ostrich naturally dare not tell his jokes, and even if he did, no one would listen, because many birds were caught by the' law enforcement Committee'. 5 "What exactly is a' harmful word'?" In order not to be taken away by the mysterious "law enforcement Committee", every animal wants to know this question, but no one has ever asked. It stands to reason that those animals arrested by the law enforcement Committee should know a little, but they know nothing. One night, during the thunderstorm, the ostrich sneaked into the badger's house, which was later released by the law enforcement committee, and asked him about the content of "harmful words". "I remember that you only said two words that day," the ostrich asked in a low voice. "Which word has ... that?" Although the ostrich didn't say all the "harmful words", the badger understood what the ostrich meant, immediately closed the doors and windows, closed the curtains and pushed a big table to the door to block it. Then he whispered, "To tell the truth, I don't even know." "How is that possible?" The ostrich opened its eyes wide. "Really!" Badger said, "that day, I was put into a cell, and an official of the law enforcement Committee said to me,' Why did you say' harmful words'?" I said,' How do I know what a' harmful word' is? How can you prove that I said' harmful words'? "Is there a law?" Hearing this, the official immediately went to a big cupboard full of locks, took out 998 1 keys, opened 8 1 locks in turn, opened the cupboard door, took out a thick little red book, turned to a page and said, "Look, in the Peace Law of the Kingdom, it is12355. Hearing this, I defended myself and said, "I didn't see you at all because you swung too fast." . You must let me remember this word, or I may say it next time. The official of the' Law Enforcement Committee' said:' No! The king said that no animals can be seen except him and the officials of the law enforcement Committee! It is not good for you to read it, and the sensitivity of this word is not too high. I will let you go back this time ... ""What happened later? The ostrich asked, and then I suddenly returned to the place where I was taken away. " The badger replied so quickly? "The ostrich doesn't believe it. "Yes, because they are flying monkeys!" Said the badger. "Flying monkey?" Asked the ostrich. "Yes, the officials of the Executive Council are flying monkeys, flying faster than any bird!" As the days passed, the animals in the forest became more and more reticent. Tigers dare not shout loudly when hunting, for fear of accidentally saying "harmful words" Before the prey was caught, it was taken away by flying monkeys. In the morning, the brown-eared pheasant didn't dare to bark again, because she didn't know whether the crow was among the "harmful words". At night, the frogs by the river dare not croak any more. In case quack is also a "harmful word", she will have to be taken away by the flying monkey and leave the tadpole alone at home. Brother Hedgehog, who talks in his sleep, takes turns sleeping every night. When they hear someone talking in their sleep, they will wake him up quickly to avoid saying "harmful words" and being taken away by ruthless flying monkeys. Later, parrots, magpies, brown pheasants and birds of paradise were all taken away by flying monkeys and never seen again, dead or alive. Finally, bad luck finally came to the ostrich ... 7 One day, the ostrich stayed in the grass nest and suddenly felt a gust of wind and sand passing by. It was very scared and could not help but say, "Is the flying monkey coming?" I didn't say anything. They must have made a mistake ... "Before I could say anything, a voice came from my ear:" You are under arrest because you just said a' harmful word'! " Before the ostrich could explain, the two flying monkeys immediately set up the ostrich and flew into the sky. However, ostriches are too big and fat. Although the flying monkey has great strength, it can't stand it. Just a few seconds after flying, it released its claws and threw itself to the ground. Just as they swooped down and prepared to catch the ostrich in the sky, the ostrich ran like hell. Because the ostrich grew big and walked far, it was really scared at that time. It ran faster than flying, and the flying monkey couldn't catch up, so it had to give up at last. But the ostrich didn't know, and ran like hell. After running for 7749 days, he was too tired to walk a step. Then he stopped to look back. Oh, it's amazing! Not only did the flying monkey disappear, but even the forest kingdom could not be seen. It turned out that the ostrich ran out of the forest and ran into the desert. The desert is a boring place where plants and insects are scarce, but there is no "law enforcement Committee" here.
