A childless woman, on the advice of a sorceress, raised a girl out of a grain of a tulip an inch tall - Thumbelina. Cradle for her was a nut shell, a boat - a petal of a tulip in a dish with water and flowers, where the girl sailed and sang. One night she was stolen by a toad to make her a bride for her ugly son.
Thumbelina burst into tears from the fact that she considered herself ugly, although in fact she was very pretty. In winter, the girl left the forest and made her way to the mink of the field mouse. She warmed and fed the poor thing, left her at home and advised her to marry a rich mole. In the meantime, the mole was already begging for Thumbelina, and everyone was preparing for the wedding. In the autumn, the dowry was ready, and the girl's words that she did not want to marry a mole threatened her mouse with her teeth. The bird again offered to fly away - and this time Thumbelina did not refuse. In the warm edge of the swallow, she planted a girlfriend in a flower where the king of elves sat. He proposed to the beautiful woman; the wedding gave her a pair of beautiful wings.

Panda is one of my favourite animals. These black-and-white creatures are simply adorable. They are mammals that inhabit central parts of China. Their natural habitat is forest. They are also called giant pandas not to be confused with red pandas from the eastern Himalayas. This animal typically has got a big body, four strong paws and small eyes. It is easy to recognize pandas thanks to their distinctive black patches across their body. Their paws help them to climb the trees. Pandas usually eat bamboo leaves and drink clean water. At some extent they are carnivore. In the wild they can eat meat in the form of rodents, birds or carrion. At the zoos they can be fed by eggs, fish, shrub leaves and some fruit. Baby pandas are tiny and cute. When they are born, they weigh only one hundred grams. They start walking, when they turn three months. Pandas are considered to be good parents. They dearly love their cubs and help them in every possible way. Speaking of their strange coloring, scientists believe that it provides effective camouflage for the snowy and rocky surroundings. Pandas are terrestrial animals. Most of the time they roam in the forests looking for bamboo leaves. They live generally alone. Females alone raise the cubs and they don’t like having other females in their range. Giant pandas communicate through scents, sounds and tree clawing. Surprisingly, pandas do not hibernate like other bears.
Перевод (Русский) :
Одним из моих любимых животных является панда. Эти черно- белые существа просто очаровательны. Они относятся к млекопитающим и обитают центральные части Китая. Их естественная среда обитания – лес. Их также называют гигантскими пандами, чтобы не путать с красными пандами, обитающими в восточных Гималаях. У этого животного, как правило, большое тело, четыре сильные лапы и маленькие глаза. Панду легко узнать по отличительным черным пятнам на теле. С помощью лап они карабкаются на деревья. Панды, как правило, едят листья бамбука и пьют чистую воду. В какой-то степени они плотоядные. В дикой природе они могут питаться мясом грызунов, птиц или падали. В зоопарках их кормят яйцами, рыбой, листьями кустарников и некоторыми фруктами. Панды-малыши крошечные и милые. Когда они рождаются, то весят всего сто грамм. Они начинают ходить в возрасте трех месяцев. Панды считаются хорошими родителями. Они очень любят своих детенышей и всячески им помогают. Говоря об их странной окраске, ученые отмечают, что это обеспечивает эффективную маскировку в снежной и скалистой местности. Панды – наземные животные. Большую часть времени они бродят в лесах в поисках листьев бамбука. Они, как правило, живут в одиночку. Женские особи сами растят детей и не любят других самок на своей территории. Гигантские панды общаются с помощью запахов, звуков и царапин на деревьях. Удивительно, но панды не впадают в спячку, как другие медведи.
