Kiwi – an animation

received this link on the Kiwi animation from jiehao and here’s a description of it extracted from ISFAT:

“Kiwi!” is an animation about a Kiwi – a type of bird that cannot fly, who spends its whole life working towards achieving his dream. The kiwi strived to create the illusion that it was flying over a forest as it soared down through the sky from the top of a cliff. Thus, the kiwi spent what must have been its whole life nailing trees to the side of a cliff. All this, to fulfil its one dream of flying, even though it was technically unable to. There are several powerful messages behind Kiwi, but mainly, it makes you think: no matter how absurd and seemingly out of reach your dreams are, what’s stopping you from achieving them?

Why be bilingual?

A cat lurking in front of a mouse hole.
The mouse asks “Who’s there?”

Thinking that there is a dog outside, the mouse comes out and is eaten.
The cat turns around and says “You see, being bilingual has its advantages.
