very often she talks ABOUT herself

Last night, I saw a documentary named Life Story which produces by BBC. There is a wild goose which nest on the cliff, their squabs have to jumped from a hundred meters of cliff when they just born in this world for 2 days. I was really shocked by that. They even can’t fly so they only can count on their soft belly and luck in this jump. Their parents wait for them on the ground and can’t do anything. Finally, there are 3 squabs survived and they have to follow their parents to go to other places for food immediately, otherwise some beasts would eat them. How cruel nature is! I suppose it is thankful that we live in a comfortable and happy life .
