Squirrels.


Here are many squirrels, these squirrels are grey. In Poland squirrels are red and are there is less of them, because the red squirrels are less fertile. Recently I found out that the grey squirrels weren't here by default. They were introduced here before the end of XIX century and the grey squirrels ousted their red cousins, which at present inhabit coniferous forests in mountains.
I watch squirrels with pleasure and I have lately discovered that they screech, that this small animal can screech very loudly. When I heard this screech before I thought that this were birds but I was mistaken. One day I heard known screech and came to the window, a squirrel was sitting on the tree in front of my window and she revealed the author of that sounds.

Small deadly fish.


When I was a small girl my father had an aquarium with fishes. He had many kind of fishes and water plants.
Fishes were living in harmony and we liked to watch them. My father fed fishes and cared about than, so that water was always clean. He liked a lot his aquarium and fishes. One day my father bought a new fish, she was small, yellow and she had three black perpendicular stripes. The new fish was very nice and very active, we had impression that she was everywhere at the same time. After few days strange things began to happen in the aquarium. Fishes had torn fins and tails. Afterwards my father began to draw out dead fishes a little too often. My father cleaned the aquarium and changed water. When fishes were in a jar the small fish became furious and began to attack all other fishes. My father quickly drew out the small killer. The small fish remained in the jar alone, but she lasted only few days.
I don't know the English name of that fish. Perhaps somebody will help me, I will be grateful.

A small kitten.


Last Sunday we were watching from our window a small kitten that was playing on a tree. Kitten was about three months old, he was white with dark-grey striped patches. Small urchin was having a lot of fun, he was even running on very thin branches. We were watching him stunt and he was merrily looking at us. Two children, a girl and a boy, were playing near the tree and were calling the kitten but the small urchin didn't intend to go down. One lady with a small dog, came to help the children to call the kitten, but it appeared that the kitten was afraid to go down. The lady went away, so did the children. After a moment the lady came back with one man, who took off the frighten animal from the tree, and gave him to the small girl.
The small kitten likes to go up on trees and he always has a lot of fun, but afterwards he fears to go down, he must to learn this difficult action.

About two weeks ago my husband took off a tree this kitten as well.

Yesterday evening I again saw the small kitten on a tree. The children wanted to go home, but the small urchin didn't want to come down or he was afraid. The lady and the man came to help the children, but the kitten obviously scared slowly began to go down the tree.
