Page 56 - Uncle Darwin, We Haven't Changed

Ha run Yah ya

My friends, family and I used to live in China. We
have many kinds of friends; we are here with many of
them. One day we were covered by mud from a sudden
land slide and we were cut off from the air. At that mo-

ment we hardened into our present form; that is, we
were fossilized. When we looked around we realized
that 125 million years had passed...
Maybe you already know, but I will tell you again.
It’s unlikely for a dead creature to turn into a fossil.
In order for a fossil to be formed, after the creature
dies, it must be preserved away from the outside ef-

fects. As you see, our life story is appropriate for fos-
silization. Under the mud, we were protected from ex-
ternal effects and this allowed us to become fossils af-
ter a while. I am happy I am a fossil because fossils
have an important duty: to tell people that Darwin had
lied and tell people the truths. So, I am very proud
to perform this very important duty.
