" "At length the Turk turned to Larry:
'You write, I believe?' he said with complete lack of interest.
Larry's eyes glittered. Mother, seeing the danger signs, rushed in quickly before he could reply.
'Yes, yes' she smiled, 'he writes away, day after day. Always tapping at the typewriter'
'I always feel that I could write superbly if I tried' remarked the Turk.
'Really?' said Mother. 'Yes, well, it's a gift I suppose, like so many things.'
'He swims well' remarked Margo, 'and he goes out terribly far'
'I have no fear' said the Turk modestly. 'I am a superb swimmer, so I have no fear. When I ride the horse, I have no fear, for I ride superbly. I can sail the boat magnificently in the typhoon without fear'

I have a theory that you do not slow down at all, but that life slows down for you. You understand me? Everything becomes languid, as it were, and you can notice so
much more when things are in slow motion. The things you see! The extraordinary things that happen all around you, that you never even suspected before I It is really a delightful adventure, quite delightful
La chiave per poter prevenire questa terribile razzia di creature selvatiche, animali e vegetali, è l'informazione. E' necessario far capire alla gente che le risorse naturali sono infinite e rinnovabili solo nella misura in cui vengono usate con criterio e parsimonia. Insegnando che il patrimonio naturale è qualcosa di cui andare fieri, da proteggere e non da sacrificare a egoistici ed effimeri scopi di lucro, si pongono le basi per un saggio utilizzo della natura a vantaggio di tutto il mondo.
