This Teacher Lives Underwater

SOUTH AFRICAN filmmaker Craig Foster was diving(潜水) near where he grew up. One day, he found her, a shy octopus(章鱼) was putting on a "suit" of shells(壳).

"What is she doing there? Foster was interested in this magical(神奇的) animal. He visited her and followed her for two hours every day. For weeks, the octopus fell afraid and hid herself. Foster kept trying to win her heart. Finally, after 26 days, she reached out and touched him!

Foster spent about a year studying her. He watched her learn, play and recover from injury (伤口). The filmmaker made the friendship between them into the documentary(纪录片) My Octopus Teacher. The film has become a hit.

In Foster's eyes, the octopus was a teacher. The man learned a lot from her. The greatest lesson she taught him was about our place in nature. We humans are not just visitors to this planet(行星). We are part of the natural world around us. As we get closer to our animal friends, we will find we are similar to them in many ways.

So talk to a dog or pat a cat. Watch how birds sing to make friends. On this amazing planet, we do have many wonderful neighbors(邻居)!
