Many years ago, a Singapore geographer in order to work away from his family, to Africa to explore the local situation. In order to go to Africa, he prepared a yellow wood ruler used to survey geographical location, with a blue and green porcelain bottle to storage some cold pills, and he bring a blanket. He also took a Singapore Coins to the local people.
He spent two years in Africa, not only familiar with African geography circumstance, still understand the local customs, and African music. The desert in Africa area accounts for about a third of all the states, is desert area of the biggest continent. Of course, in addition to the desert, Africa also have lush forests and the vast prairie. The African people to make a living will use bark, roots do some wooden goods sales. For example, the ship made with wood, also there are some feather decoration in the ship. Africa’s leather wallet is also very popular, on the wallet usually printed with tiger, lion, elephants some African typically wild animals.
Africa is a vast land, has lots of national faith, so African music is very complex but famous. This geographer really missed his wife and his family, so he use wood carved two statues, one is himself, he stand on the stone dancing and beating the drum. The other one is his wife’s avatar, it means she is listen his music. Whenever he meet difficulties and when he feels longly, he will look at that two statues to encourage himself. Life in Africa is very hard, not only living environment, also the simple diet. Lots of time people by eating some wild fruit to eliminate hunger. Eat most is the beans, it looks like the head of the human.
This let the geologist think of in Singapore, he know a monk, because he is very like bean. Before he come to Africa, this monk gave him a brooch, the brooch stamped by a tree and sunshine, representing Africa. The brooch will bring him peace and blessing.
In today’s society everyone for building their own dreams house but struggle, no matter you are through the what kind of way, the most important is keep progress.
