Chapter 1129 Cats and Dogs
Modern Egyptians are famous for their laziness, and in developing countries, only the three brothers may be comparable.
It doesn’t matter if you are poor. Everyone comes from the time of poverty. Then you work hard to get rid of poverty and become rich, and use your hard-working hands to build a beautiful home. But, to put it bluntly, modern Egyptians do not have the lives of Europeans, but they get the disease of Europeans.
Even the most basic politeness and punctuality of modern society are not willing to abide by. Except for a few departments such as government, tourism, shipping, finance, etc., it is common for ordinary Egyptians to be half an hour late for dates, and they do not feel ashamed at all. The inefficiency of work can be imagined.
Of course, there are always exceptions in everything. For example, the Jack I met just now, is a rare punctual among the locals. He came to the hotel lobby early in the morning to wait for Zhang Zi'an and Wei Kang and his group. Perhaps because he is a mixed-race child and has received a good higher education, he is different from most locals.
It seems that the professors at Cairo University still value Wei Kang's scientific expedition team very much, so they specially selected a smart and capable student to come over.
After Fina figured it out, she returned to her usual high-ranking tone, and she was very proud of her nose and eyes, and was not satisfied with it anywhere.
The starry sea is not afraid of dirt or heat. No matter how thick the dust passes, its four feet are still spotless and have no complaints about the hot sun. It runs excitedly in front, looking around, and is curious about everything, but it still carefully avoids pedestrians coming and going.
π was also very curious. She opened her wide and round eyes and spared no effort to observe this strange country like a sponge absorbing water. All the things she observed could be written into its future. It was smaller and shy, and she kept her step away from Zhang Zi'an, pulling the hem of his shirt, for fear of getting lost.
Laocha likes to leaps from high places to gain a better view, and at the same time uses the shadow of the building to block the sun.
"Meow~ There is a cat."
Xinghai, who was running in the front, suddenly stopped and said.
cat?
When talking about cats, Zhang Zian immediately remembered the most important task of this trip to Egypt to find traces of the original Egyptian cat. The first flash of thought was, was it that the original Egyptian cat appeared in great luck?
Then he gave up this unrealistic idea. Even if the original Egyptian cats really exist, they would not appear in the large city of Egypt with a population of more than 20 million. Eighty-mostly what they see in Xinghai are stray cats.
"Cat? Where? Where?"
When Vladimir heard the cat, he became energetic.
"Just in front." Xinghai raised one of his front paws and pointed forward.
Zhang Zian was tall and had a long vision, so he saw it.
It was an orange cat with a well-proportioned figure, lying lazily in the shade at the door of a shop yawning.
It seemed to have noticed Zhang Zi'an and Fina, and immediately stood up, and his expression of alertness and fear appeared in its eyes.
Judging from this attitude, it is probably a stray cat.
Zhang Zi'an has seen too many stray cats in China. Stray cats are usually afraid of people and run away when they see them. Unless they are fed frequently and feed them to mature, they will always be more alert to humans than close to them.
But this Cairo stray cat didn't seem to be afraid of people. It allowed locals and tourists to walk a few steps away from it without any movement.
Even though the times change and the world has changed like a world of change, the Egyptians living on this land are not the Egyptians two thousand years ago, but cats are still treated here with additional preferential treatment.
Even the "Instructions for Chinese Citizens to Egypt" specifically mentioned: Egyptians favor cats, respect cats like gods, and regard cats as sacred elfs. In the eyes of Egyptians, cats are symbols of goddesses on earth, lucky mascots, and national beasts that are respected by people.
The implication is roughly that you pay attention to your timely words and deeds in Egypt, whether you like cats or hate cats.
National beast!
You can think of Egyptian cats as giant pandas walking on the streets of China.
This is true for modern Egyptians, and the attitude of ancient Egyptians towards cats can be imagined.
It is precisely because of this that this stray cat is not only not afraid of people, but has a bit fierce look.
However, when it saw Fina, it trembled for a moment in place, and then ran away with its legs spread out.
"Wait! Wait a minute!"
Vladimir couldn't let it run away, and every stray cat could become a member of Meow Meow branch, so it quickly chased after it.
"Vladimir, don't run far! Remember the way back!" Zhang Zian knew it would definitely be like this, so he had to remind him later.
"I know!"
Its voice came from afar.
The more they walked, the more often the stray cats appeared, but they all ran away in panic after seeing Fina.
Fina doesn't care about this, it cares more about where to fill her stomach.
“There are so many stray dogs here.”
Feimas signaled another direction.
Wow!
Zhang Zi'an looked in the voice and saw two or three stray dogs coming out of a temple and jumping across the street in a grand manner. They were not small in size, which scared several foreign female tourists to dodge in panic.
You know, this is almost the city center of Cairo. If it is the city center of China, it is basically impossible for stray dogs to exist.
These two or three stray dogs are not isolated cases. The more in the alleys in Cairo, the more you can see groups of stray dogs trotting forward with their tongues, or focus on the trash can. Even on the busy streets, stray dogs ignore the vehicles and suddenly jump across the road. Fortunately, the road conditions in Cairo are too poor and the speed is slow, otherwise there may be danger, both for people and for dogs.
Although dogs cannot enjoy the noble treatment of cats, they are basically free of food and clothing, and the garbage all over the street provides them with sufficient food.
Few people know that Egypt is the country with the most stray dogs in the world, no doubt about it.
There are more than 15 million stray dogs wandering in Egypt, but 95% of Egypt's land is desert. In other words, most of these 15 million dogs are concentrated in a few big cities and suburbs, while Cairo's population is only more than 20 million.
Unlike cats, stray cats will only destroy the ecology, but disorderly stray dogs will pose a huge threat to humans themselves.
These stray dogs are not afraid of people, and even threaten to tourists who are too close to them.
In addition, they also came everywhere.
Dogs are not as clean as cats. They will bury their feces. Dogs are more used to pulling them away.
Of course, this is a bit arbitrary, after all, some dogs will be pulled and eaten before eating them.
