Downing continued to communicate with Marlena in his notebook, asking her why she was interested in children's literature.

Marlena, who said her father ran a school for pre-school children, came to the library to discover books for children, and asked Downing why he was interested in fairy tales.

It turned out that her father was the principal of the kindergarten. Kindergarten is the product of the rise of feminism after married women have a ** job, and it seems that the girl's father is still quite discerning.

Tang Ning continued to "text" the black silk goddess beside him: I want to relive my beautiful childhood, because opening an ice cream shop reminds me of the fairy tale "The Snow Queen", have you seen it?

He looked up at her, thinking that she would just have to nod her head for such a simple question. Marlena wrote "yes" in Italian, cleverly opening the next topic. The Lombard chef invited by Downing is Italian, because the chef's English is not good, in order to facilitate communication, Downing instead learned a few sentences of Italian, and the word "yes" can still be understood. It's like New Zealanders who know a little Māori for the convenience of life.

Downing: "Italian?" ”

Seeing that Downing still spoke English, Marlena knew that even if he knew Italian, she would not know too much, and she replied, "Yes, Venice." What about you? I see you like a half-breed. ”

It turned out that her father was the "Merchant of Venice", Downing: "I like Venetians, rational. You guessed it, I'm a half-race without a hometown, and I can see any place as a hometown. ”

After taking the notebook, Marlena thought for a while, and adopted a very avant-garde communication art, hand-drawing an "expression" of "touching the landlord" under "no hometown", and a "like" expression under "anywhere is a hometown".

A pretty girl is cute even if she is stupid, and it would be great if she was as spiritual as Marlena, and Marlena's charm value suddenly soared in Tangning's heart, drawing a steep curve.

Their exchange of "letters" made the young man next to him very depressed, but he didn't know what he remembered, and the young man suddenly sneered. Could it be that he has a big move that can turn back the decline in one fell swoop? Downing was curious.

It wasn't until the picture gallery closed that Tang Ning discovered that this young man was also a car owner! And his car is even more advanced than Downing's low-key smart! This is a rich, powerful and strong young man, and he is definitely one of the ideals in the hearts of girls.

It seems that Tangning's peach blossom luck just started is about to come to naught, this is the daughter of a Venetian merchant, and what is even worse is that she still dares to wear the most fashionable **** Victoria's Secret strange woman, it is estimated that she is also a strange woman who regards discipline like dung, but such a girl is very confusing.

The young man drove up to Downing and Marlena, who were standing very close, waved triumphantly at Marlena, and said, "Marlena, do you want to take my car home?" ”

"......" Marlena looked at the charming chess pattern of the cart, and then looked at Downing, who seemed to have no master of the six gods, and seemed to have a hard choice. Will you choose the Prince, or the Ice Prince, who is about to open an ice cream parlor?

"I really haven't sat on it before?" Marlena shyly whispered to Downing.

Tang Ning smiled indifferently, but in the eyes of the young man and the little goddess, he was pretending to be calm, and he said, "Then you should try." ”

Marlena is still quite humane, she hopes that Tang Ning will also have the opportunity to sit, this era is an absolute luxury, so she said to the young man: "Will you give us both?" ”

The prince was full of confidence and said, "Of course! As long as the girl has a life! ”

Marlena was afraid that Tangning would not get into the car, so she glanced at him enthusiastically, and even had a small subconscious action of tugging at his sleeve.

Just kidding, I'm also a car owner, although it's a grade lower than the smart, it's also four wheels. Tang Ning declined her invitation: "No, you please!" ”

Before Marlena reluctantly left him, he asked, "Where is your kindergarten?" ”

A guilt-ridden Marlena told him her father's Waldorf Astoria kindergarten address, and perhaps it would be the next stop on a private visit to Downing's resort-style microservices. Education should start from the baby!

How to catch it? Children, of course, the best education is to educate and entertain, and a game should be invented to make children like human animal friends. In order to live up to his house of cards, Downing decided to invent animal-themed cards, starting with the African savanna, where the food chain is clear at a glance. According to the traditional habit of playing cards, Downing has to find 13 links in the food chain, corresponding to A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, and K.

What is at the bottom of the food chain? Grass? Hey, guess again!

Well, it's sunshine. Sunshine is a www.biquge.info of the food chain, and it deserves to be A.

Plants are the ones that can directly use sunlight, so the second echelon is grass and acacia trees, 2 and 3 respectively.

There are many animals that feed on grass, such as termites and grasshoppers, and baboons, impalas, and zebras. Although termites are small, they also eat acacia in addition to eating grass, and they are more broad-spectrum vegetarian animals, so they can be higher-level, grasshoppers are 4, termites are 5, impala and zebra have a very similar diet, they only eat grass, but the zebra's markings have a magical effect that makes predators dizzy, so they are judged by Tangning to have greater survival skills, impala is 6, zebra is 7, and baboons, a close relative of humans, are omnivores, not only can feed on grass, feed on leaves, but also eat grasshoppers, Survivability has gone up another level, numbered 8.

Originally, it should be the turn of carnivores in the next wave, but because the number was not enough, Downing added an interesting animal for the children, the shell lang, who feeds on these vegetarian animals, and the food source is abundant, but it is amazing, one order higher than the baboon: 9.

Then it's time for the exciting predators! The first to appear is the cheetah, the most capable running animal on land. Baby zebras, baby impalas, and old and weak zebras and impalas may all be on the plate of cheetahs. The cheetah's running speed is invincible, but the beautiful and arrogant cheetah is defeated by the fact that it likes to act alone, and the prey caught may be snatched away by more ferocious or group predators, and the ability to forage can only accompany the last seat of the predator, number 10.

Hyenas are great hunters because they are intelligent social animals that go out in groups to forage for food, not only have a greater chance of catching herbivores than cheetahs, but also have the ability to protect their property. When the hyena group finds its prey, it always makes a terrifying "whoop" cry that frightens its competitors, and beckons a large number of its kind, sometimes reaching a dozen or even twenty or thirty, and sometimes arrogantly snatches the lion's lunch. Therefore, lions hate hyenas the most, and they have taught their children since they were young that when they see a lone hyena, don't be polite and kill it! Hyena number: 11.

The last predator is, of course, the king of the animal kingdom - the lions. That's right, it should be pointed out in particular, it is the lions that are not lone heroes who act alone like cheetahs, if lions act alone, maybe the ability to hunt is not as good as the cheetahs that win with speed, their bodies are strong and bulky, especially the male lions, more than twice as strong as the female lions, they are not suitable for hunting at all, only suitable for fighting, hunting and fighting are completely different activities, hunting requires skill and speed, and strength is the overwhelming factor in hand-to-hand warfare. The lion's duty is to protect the family, specifically to protect the lion's chastity and the life of the lion cub, a lion group generally has only one male lion, he is the husband of all the lions and the father of all the lion cubs, and the invading male lion will not hurt the lioness, this is its future daughters-in-law, after defeating the original male lions, the new lion king will bite all the lion cubs to death, this is the custom of continuing the male lion's own bloodline, the female lion generally witnesses this tragedy with tears, and then becomes a bride with tears.

The lion pack feeds on almost all carnivores and vegetarian animals, number: 12.

It seems that there is still one left, no way, the ultimate apex predator has appeared - the hunter. Humans, frenzied predators, rely on their high intelligence to create a hunting tool to defeat a qiē, even lions. What worries the animals even more is whether humans are omnivores, not to mention grass seeds and fruits, grasshoppers also gnaw on them, I am afraid that they will eat everything except for the shell lang who is unwilling to try it. The Terrible Hunter, the Hunter Who Devoured a Qiē, Number: 13.

Is it over? So what about the two more clowns? (also called ace, ghost card). No matter how fierce the hunter is, he can't escape the clutches of the Grim Reaper, so shouldn't he get two Grim Reapers? This is not atheistic enough. （http：／／.）。 Downing decided to carry out the purity of the atheist to the end, not using the Grim Reaper, and using the "little friend" as the trump card. This is not a ploy to please children, according to the logic of evolutionary theory, species must maintain diversity in order to better adapt to their environment, and the "trade-in" strategy of reproduction is used to achieve this goal, including humans. No matter how strong a hunter is, he will grow old and die, the world is the hunter, and it is also the children, in the final analysis, it is the children.

This kind of cards can be played in accordance with the ordinary poker, but also as a game to play, for example, you can use the method of the flop at the same time to balance the size of the food chain, after the flop, the card that is used as food will let the owner of the card that eats them score, even the most powerful hunter has the restriction of children, and the child card encounters carnivores also have to rest, but the shell Lang card does not have any natural enemies, at this time as long as there are animal cards, it scores, and finally the players compete who "eats" the card more. Children can memorize these 13 food chain links by playing, and there are also profound biological science principles in them.

The key is that the artist who creates the animal motif is talented enough to draw cute cartoon characters. Education is a hundred-year plan, and Downing feels that he should invite the best illustrator to do it, and the big tyrants have nothing to do, and they try their best to think about the boring things that change the world and change the minds of people.
