星期三，晴。
收到尤金兄電話...
「冇事做，咁好天氣，我嚟車您出去走走好嗎？」
「好！」
於是我們去了 UBC 的 Beaty Biodiersity Museum 蹓躂，參觀了在那裡擺設的藍鯨骸骨。
這骸骨其實算不了甚麼古物，牠的遺體在 1987 年出現在
Prince Edward Island 的海灘，2008 年才弄到這裡來。
藍鯨被認為是地球上體型最大的動物，先知約拿在魚腹中渡過三日三夜的那尾大魚應該就是牠的祖先...
想到這裡，禁不住對這條魚骨肅然起敬！
離開的時候，適逢大學下課，滿街滿巷都是年輕人。
走在他們中間，自己的腳步也輕快起來。
尤金忽有所思，對我說：
「您有冇留心到，呢度啲後生仔女大部份都係黑髮黃皮膚架？」
Robin,
ReplyDeleteYour story today reminded me of a tale about Jonah and the whale:
A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though a whale is a very large mammal, its throat is very small.
The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. The teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human, it was impossible. The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah".
The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?"
The little girl replied, "Then you ask him!"

我曾在那取了数个镜头，皆不如意。这张照片我收藏了，谢谢！
