Humming bird and sloth
The very first time I saw a humming bird was when I went on a honeymoon in Venezuela. My husband was on his business trip and could afford to have me accompany him there so there I was in a foreign country. We stayed at a hotel on the 20th some floor; outside our bay window was a big flower pot full of colorful flowers. One day I was standing next to the window enjoying the scenery. Suddenly, I saw something on the flower but wasn’t really sure what it was. I thought my eyes were playing trick on me. As I looked closer, it appeared to me that an exceptionally small bird was feeding himself on nectar among the flowers. A tiny body with a very rapid wings movement was extraordinary picture to look at.It was worth a trip to a tropical country like Venezuela. During a couple of weeks there, the temperature was perfect. At least that was how I felt - not too hot and not too cold. I assume it is an ideal temperature for most people. My husband said that it normally stays at 70 degrees all year around. I managed to explore the city while he was teaching the courses. As a matter of fact, I went to work with him the first couple of days and got bored. I spent time walking around the city and stopped a park.
There I saw a long hairy-body creature on a tree. Later on I found out that it was called a ‘sloth’. I had never seen anything that could move so slow as this animal. I think that is how the word ‘sluggish’ is coming from. I couldn’t help wondering what the sloth would do if a danger was coming close to him. Would he still move at this speed?
