Crows have a bad reputation. Some people hate them and think they are ominous. They think that "when a crow crows, disaster comes". In fact, crows are wise among birds, but they know very little.

The research of ornithologists found that the cleverness of crows is surprising. Crows can often be seen on both sides of some roads in Europe, because whenever a truck is driving on the road, the vibration of the ground often forces underground insects to climb out of the ground, so that crows can eat the insects as soon as they stick out their mouths. Crows will also throw walnuts on the road and let the car crush their shells. They will eat the fruit in the shells.

In England, it is interesting for crows to devour mice. The crow stood on the pig's back "on duty" because it was sure that the rats crawling around in the haystack of the pigsty would never pay attention to the fat pig that had been humming, so the crow suddenly jumped off the pig's back and could put the mouse in his mouth.

When crows see a dog eating, some of them will fly to peck its ass. When a dog attacks, others will quickly take away the food it has put down.

Scandinavian fishermen often put fishing rods in ice caves to fish. Crows will take advantage of the fishermen's absence to hold the fishing line in their mouths and drag the line and rope until a vivid fish appears on the hook. Had a good meal, made a phone call and flew away.

If a crow falls into the hunter's net somewhere, even if the hunter uses other completely different traps, he must never trick the second crow into falling into the trap.

Many birds are fed by their parents. When they grow up, they fly their own things. On the other hand, crows are different. When the crow grows up, it not only never leaves its mother, but also shows great filial piety to its parents. The old crow can't fly, so the little crow looks for food everywhere and brings it back to feed it bite by bite. Once the old crow died of illness, and the little crow called his relatives and friends for his funeral. Sometimes there are thousands of crows. The crows groan and circle several times, then say goodbye to the body and put the dead crows into the deep pit.

A zoologist in the Netherlands "adopted" a crow 18 months old and kept it until it was 8 years old. The crow regards him as "father". As soon as he stepped into the door, he would dance and bow to his master, and his intimacy was emotional.

Crows also have strong imitation ability. It can repeat all kinds of sounds and even imitate human language. Some crows can master more than 100 words!

Crows in New Caledonia also use leaves and twigs to make "tools" to catch insects. They break some hooked twigs and fix them with their feet, remove bark and leaves, arrange hooks into harpoons with beaks and barbed tools, and then use this tool to set traps to lure and catch prey.

Crows on the grassland will also "airdrop" smelly sheep dung under the wolf's claws to inform and "navigate" the wolf. The hungry wolf will follow the crow to find the sheep and take the lamb when the shepherd dog is negligent. After the wolf had a hearty meal, the crow flew in to eat the leftovers.

However, in some places, people think that meeting a crow is an ominous sign, saying that it is a "bird of mourning". In fact, crows are not ominous birds, and the mystery of mourning has been revealed. Crows like to eat rotten animals and have a keen sense of smell. They can smell the faint smell of rotting corpses far away, so they compete to fly to them. Patients dying after a long illness will release the smell of corruption before they die, and crows have already smelled it. This may be why people hate crows.

My mother is unique.

I remember when I was 0/3 years old, I lived with my mother in Nice, in the southeast of France. My mother has no husband or relatives, which is hard enough, but she often comes up with surprising things and puts them in front of me. She never eats meat and has repeatedly said that she is a vegetarian. One day, however, I found my mother carefully wiping the frying pan of steak with a small piece of broken bread. I understand the real reason why she calls herself a vegetarian.

When I was 16 years old, my mother became the female manager of Nais Dream Hotel. At this time, she was busier. One day, she collapsed in a chair, pale and her lips were blue. Call the doctor at once and make a diagnosis: she has an insulin overdose. I just realized that my mother has been suffering from diabetes for many years.

Her head tilted to one side of the pillow, and she scratched her chest painfully. Above the bedstead, I won the silver medal as a junior table tennis champion in Nice in 1932.

Ah, it was the longing for my bright future that kept her alive. In order to add at least a little real color to her absurd dream, I had to continue to work hard and race against time until 1938 was recruited into the air force. Paris soon fell and I was transferred to the Royal Air Force. I received a letter from my mother as soon as I arrived in England. These letters were secretly delivered to me in London by a Swiss friend.

Now I'm going home, wearing a striking green and black liberation cross ribbon on my chest, five or six medals I'll never forget, and an officer's epaulette hanging on my shoulder. When I arrived at the hotel, no one greeted me. It turns out. My mother died three and a half years ago.

In the days before her death, she wrote nearly 250 letters and gave them to her friend in Switzerland to send to me regularly. In this way, for three and a half years after her death, I have been drawing strength and courage from her-which enabled me to continue fighting until the day of victory.
