Generally speaking, there are two kinds of speakers in the Speaker's Corner, one is surrounded by the audience, lively and lively, and after the speech, they spend a lot of time talking about the crowd; The other is a bare pole who gives a speech to himself and immerses himself in his own world.

Today, this buddy obviously belongs to the latter, and there are many people who come to listen, but except for us, almost all of the others listen for a while and leave, and none of them hear from the beginning to the end. The reason we stayed here was simply because I was listening to Flower and I talk about the history and anecdotes of Speakers' Corner.

By the time Flower finished his lecture on the Speaker's Corner, the theme of that speech was the youth speech on world integration, and the movements of his hands became more and more exaggerated, and the expressions on his face became more and more excited. The only drawback is that the content is really boring, and if you say it repeatedly, it's no wonder you can't keep people.

Just as I was bored listening, I suddenly felt an itch on my instep. I turned my head to see a chinchilla standing on the back of my feet, looking up at me with his dark eyes.

My eyes lit up, and I bent down to pick up my chinchilla, but Totoro subconsciously took a few steps back and ran out all at once, looking at me vigilantly.

I looked at Flor, "Is there anything to eat?" ”

Flower pulled out a pack of cookies from the pocket of his beach shorts and looked at me suspiciously, "Got a pack of cookies?" How? Are you hungry? ”

I took the biscuit, opened it, broke half of it, put it in my hand, and shook it at Totoro with a smile.

My neighbor totoro saw the cookie and immediately moved a few steps towards me, and Flower and Chengichi also saw Totoro at this time. Flower's eyes lit up, "Gray squirrel." I didn't expect to see them in Hyde Park. ”

Cheng Yi turned into a star eye, "So cute! Chubby and meaty. ”

I wondered, "Gray squirrel? Isn't it My Neighbor Totoro? ”

The gray squirrel, the North American gray squirrel, is a squirrel family native to the eastern and midwestern United States. In the UK, this seemingly harmless little creature is the enemy of biologists and red pine trees. Since the grey squirrel was introduced to the UK from North America 140 years ago, the species has spread throughout the vast majority of the UK. In the process, they aggressively expelled the native red squirrels, which are thought to be in danger of extinction in the UK.

Compared to the native red squirrels, the North American gray squirrels are much stronger, far superior to the red squirrels in terms of food grabbing and breeding. What's worse is that they carry a squirrel herpes virus, which is a filtering skin disease, although the gray squirrel carries the virus, but it does not attack in them, but the red squirrel is very sensitive to this virus, once infected, it will get sick. After the disease, the health of the red squirrel deteriorates dramatically, unable to forage for food, and dies of starvation within two weeks.

But no matter how strong they are, the gray squirrel is also the slimmer kind. After all, begging for a life in a tree, how can you walk like a bird if you are not as light as a swallow. As for the one in front of me, I suspect that he will directly crush the branches when he jumps from branch to branch.

Flower laughed and said, "No, no, no, it's just a little fatter, not to the point where Totoro is." The real Totoro is a creature called a woolly squirrel, which is completely different from the gray squirrel. ”

I looked at the gray squirrel that looked like Totoro, and I still couldn't believe Flower's words, "Is this a gray squirrel?" How can there be such a fat squirrel! ”

"I think it's because there's no hibernation. This kind of thing often happens in recent years, because the winter is getting warmer and warmer, so that the staple food of squirrels such as nuts and seeds increases, and some gray squirrels who eat round and fat before winter find that they can also find enough food in winter, so they do not hibernate. So in the coming year, a large number of fat squirrels appeared. ”

I couldn't help but look at the gray squirrel that couldn't help but get closer and closer, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "But this is too fat, it's almost fat." ”

Flower shrugged, "This is Hyde Park, and it's much easier to find food here than in the forest. You can get food if you sell a cute, can you not get fat? ”

As I spoke, the gray squirrel had cautiously moved in front of me and carefully took the biscuit from my hand. I took the opportunity to touch the little one's head, and the gray squirrel did not resist, but took care of the biscuit in his hand.

Seeing the gray squirrel like this, my heart moved, and I directly picked up this guy. The moment the gray squirrel left the ground, he raised his head and looked at me vigilantly, I quickly smiled and handed over half a biscuit, the gray squirrel took the biscuit, looked at me again and continued to bow his head to deal with the biscuit.

Seeing this, Cheng Yi wanted to reach out and touch the gray squirrel, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, the gray squirrel raised his head and grinned at Cheng Yiyi, making a whirring warning sound, looking like I would bite you if you get close to me.

Cheng Yi was taken aback, so he could only retract his hand unwillingly and eat the taste: "It's not fair, why can you hold it, I can't touch it." ”

I smiled and handed the cookie to Cheng Yi, "Just use this." ”

Cheng Yi suspiciously tried to lure the gray squirrel with a biscuit, and the little chubby dun who only had food in his eyes immediately rebelled, and ran directly into Cheng Yi's arms, and the cute appearance of eating with his head down made Cheng always happy.

Soon a pack of biscuits was fed to the gray squirrel, and after the last slice entered the gray squirrel's stomach, Cheng Yi smiled at the gray squirrel and shrugged, "It's gone, it's all for you to eat." ”

The gray squirrel didn't say a word, jumped out of the arms of one, turned around and left.

Cheng Yi was angry, "How can there be such a thing as you, you are too cunning, eat and run." ”

Flower and I gloated, and a shy, turned his head and glared at both of us. The two of us immediately stopped laughing and made a stern look.

At this time, the young people's speeches were also coming to an end. After silently putting away the ladder frame and the sign, the young man walked up to us, bowed to us, and said gratefully, "Thank you, if it weren't for you, I think I wouldn't have been able to stand it and leave here half an hour ago." You have given me hope for the speech! Thank you, I will continue to work hard. ”

As he spoke, the young man was ambitious, holding his head high, holding the sign and carrying the ladder and turned to leave, leaving us standing there with a bewildered expression.

"What's going on? Richard, did you just hear what he said? ”

"I first patronized Flower's Speaker's Corner, but then the gray squirrel appeared and kept teasing him. I really didn't pay attention to the speech. What about you, Flore. ”

"Me? At first I patronized to tell you, but then the gray squirrel appeared, and my mind was all on that little fellow, and I had no time to listen to what he had to say. He just walked over and I almost thought he was going to get us in trouble. ”
