Zoobooks

Now your child can visit steamy jungles, grassy plains,and the dark depths of the oceans. To meet and learnsurprising facts about the magnificent animals thatlive there!

—Zoobooks Commercial

Today, I've been lying 40 minutes in the grass with a book, at the quad,in between paths both running together and nowhere, purposefully expeditious,

of the University I just graduated from and a man approaches me sayinghis students really are something, they make candles, Super Business Girl, have you heard

of her? I buy a candle named Karma scented with frankincense and vanilla.The man tells me his name is Del Rio. [End Page 23]

On selling, motivational speaker Victor Antonio makes the observationthat the fear of loss is less powerful than the desire for gain.

Isn't it awful? The world we live in? every generation seems to claim.Shocking, I'm sure at the time, to see a young Margaret Hamilton disappearing

in color from water and pure intention. To be honest, my first shock

came from exploring the facts and pictures of Zoobooks. As advertised, every month,the scientific, natural world delivered its colorful pages. The science I never understood,

but the pictures and facts were something I loved. Who knew a Polar Bear,on hind legs, could look an elephant in the eye! For the last month, I've been trying to love a girl who has, just yesterday, given up on me. Apparently,

loneliness is as bad for your health as smoking cigarettes! I find this hard to believebut I'm also a hypochondriac. The French Angelfish stays with its partner for life

although I'm sure it has no concept of love. She says I think I've run out of capacity.Heat capacity is the amount of energy required to heat a substance by 1 degree. Electricalcapacity, the ratio of change in electric charge to potential. [End Page 24]

Partially because of my love for Zoobooks, partially because of my love of insects and my lost passions of medical school,I studied biology at the other university I graduated from where I knew there was nothing more beautifulthan $2 empanadas and Lake Mendota.I would study on that quad, where people walked their dogs down to the lake,barking after ducks near the boat landings. This is where I took one of my favorite pictures,two strangers sitting down by the dock, the sunset and the spaces between their silhouette.I captioned the picture let us never forget what love looks like shocking, though, at the time, I hadn't loved anyone in 4 years.

I could say this was a reminder to myself, a reviewed and substantiated fact, where the instinct of want equals a scatter-plot of ducks,where momentary visitation equals my feet in water, the lake's gentle, cyclical resistance, but that would be disingenuous.I was lonely and thought it was a pretty picture. Who knew ducks could sleep with one eye open? [End Page 25] Today, I've learned capacity-capacityis the amount of time someone gives you until their energy runs out.In 12 hours, the average person generates as much energy as it takes to turn on a lightbulb. For my health, I'm going to start smoking a pack a day. By primal instinctwe sell. [End Page 26]

动物园书

现在你的孩子可以访问潮湿的丛林，草原，和海洋的黑暗深处。认识和了解那里生活着的壮观动物的令人惊奇的事实！

—Zoobooks商业

今天，我在草地上躺了40分钟，在四边形的书本上，走在两条路之间，既无处奔跑，又有目的地加快了速度，

我刚毕业的大学，一个男人走近我，说他的学生真的很特别，他们在做蜡烛，超级女商人，你听说过吗

她的？我买了一支名为Karma的蜡烛，上面放有乳香和香草。这个人告诉我他的名字叫德尔里奥（Del Rio）。[完第23页]

在出售股票时，励志演讲者维克多·安东尼奥（Victor Antonio）发现，对损失的恐惧没有对获利的渴望强大。

是不是很糟糕 我们生活的世界？每一代人似乎都声称。我敢肯定，当时看到一个年轻的玛格丽特·汉密尔顿（Margaret Hamilton）失踪了，这令人震惊

颜色来自水和纯净的意图。老实说，我的第一个震惊

来自探索Zoobook的事实和图片。如广告所示，科学的自然世界每个月都会发布其色彩斑delivered的页面。我从不了解的科学，

但是照片和事实是我喜欢的东西。谁知道后腿上的北极熊可以看着大象！在过去的一个月里，我一直在努力去爱一个刚刚昨天就放弃了我的女孩。显然，

寂寞与抽烟一样有害健康！我觉得这很难相信，但我也是软骨病。法国神仙鱼与伴侣终生在一起

尽管我确定它没有爱情的概念。她说我认为我已经用光了。热容是将物质加热1度所需的能量。电容量，改变在电荷潜在的比率。[结束第24页]

部分是由于我对Zoobooks的热爱，部分是由于我对昆虫的热爱和对医学院的迷恋，我在另一所大学学习了生物学，我知道那没有什么比2美元的肉馅卷心菜和门多塔湖更美的了。我将在那个四边形上进行研究，在那里人们将狗down下到湖边，在靠近船坞的鸭子们咆哮。在这里，我拍摄了我最喜欢的照片，两个陌生人坐在码头旁，落日和他们的剪影之间的空隙。我给图片加上了字幕，但让我们永远不会忘记爱看起来令人震惊，尽管那时我已经四年没有爱任何人了。

我可以说这是对自己的提醒，这是一个经过回顾和充分证实的事实，那里的匮乏本能等于鸭子的零星分布，那里短暂的探望等于我在水里的脚，那是湖的温柔周期性的抵抗力，但是那将是微不足道的。 。我很孤独，以为那是一幅漂亮的图画。谁知道鸭子睁开一只眼睛就能入睡？[结束第25页] 今天，我了解到，容量-容量是某人给您的时间，直到他们的精力耗尽。在12小时内，普通人产生的能量与打开灯泡所需的能量一样多。为了我的健康，我将开始每天抽一包烟。凭着本能，我们出售。[完第26页]
