Recently, I read about an article about extinct animals. The article is more about the facts about the animals; their features, habitat and the waythey lived. It left me a great impression which fill my heart with great pity to our loss. I feel like I want to save these extinct animals by being one. If I am given a chance and a choice, I would want to be a Dodo bird.
I am a bird with three feet height, flightless, non-colourful grey, and a docile bird. I might be regarded as a big sized chicken. I think the humans would want to roast me during Thanksgiving just like they are doing to the turkeys. I bet this was what happened when my flock still roamed the earth. However, I am going to be different, I am not going to be stuffed and cooked like those ugly turkeys, I am going to be an exclusive bird.
Since I am extincted, my return would surprise the world. I would be captured by the scientists or maybe the WWF. Whomever comes first. Not that I am too stupid to be captured, but I would purposely let them catch me. I will make it into the news, making the animal-lovers overjoyed with tears. They will take my pictures and it would be known world-wide that a miracle has happened.
In less than a day, my face will make it into the cover magazine. The magazines would definitely be The National Geographic, Readers Digest and Natural World. I bet even Cleo, Vogue, Men's Health and Forbes would want to write me as their featured guest. It might not be exclusive but I am famous even among the richest in the world.
I will be interviewed by many TV stations. My schedule will be booked to the maximum. I am going to be spent, tired to the bones, but it is okay, I love the attention. They would even ask for my autograph, I hope some of the ladies would ask me for my autograph, and infact I hope these ladies would ask me to sign it on their shirt...or some parts of their body...my wishful thinking. There would even be an interview for my autobiography. I created the History and I would be crowned as the 'King of The Birds'.
I would be so elated and feel important to the mankind, animalkind more like. I would be fed with the fineness of the world and people would be so willingly offer me their exotic food; plump caterpillars, juicy fat berries and crunchy crackers. Oh! What a wonderful world it would be. I would be treated like a pop-star drinking only Evian mineral water, no more dirty murky puddle water, just untouched water from the tip of the mountain. This thought itself is making me dizzy.
However, I think being a lone ranger fighting challenges through life alone would make me feel fepressed. All the other Dodos are gone, no more Dodo lady to be my partner. They say having a partner cause longevity for life. But being the only Dodo, I would be spent off my soul by not having my significant someone. I would rather die, I cannot even have a decent comprehensible language with these folks. Only a Dodo understands a Dodo. Is not it good if humans value the life of animals. Maybe, dying might be the only way for people to start to listen to our voices.
