Wild Boar Steals Laptop Of Naked Man (Animal Story 18)

Tweet

The incident I'm going to tell you about happened in Berlin, the capital of Germany, at the beginning of August. Before we come to the story proper, you should know that 14.5% of the urban area are green. The city has 2.500 parks and 1 million trees. (I think that it's possible to count the parks - but who'd count the trees?) 6,6% of the city are water. If you're interested in water sports, you can choose between 50 lakes, three rivers and eight canals. More than 600 bridges span them. So, although Berlin is the largest city of the country, it has also got a lot of nature to offer. The second fact is the information that enjoying nature naked is nothing special in Germany. The movement of nudism was founded at the beginning of the 20th century. This does not mean that you may encounter naked Germans in the streets when travelling through the country! Parks and beaches have special areas where they can enjoy their hobby. Now we come to the point. An elderly Berliner was spending some time near a lake in Berlin. He had brought his laptop with him which was lying on his blanket while he was sunbathing in the nude. Suddenly a wild boar came running out of the woods followed by two young ones, snatched the yellow bag with the laptop and started running back to its hiding place. (It is estimated that about 5.000 wild boar live in the woods in and around Berlin.) The man didn't hesitate and sprinted after it. It can be assumed that the wild boar could have outrun the man, but it was so surprised that it dropped the bag and the man got his computer back. A crowd of people had gathered and applauded the hero. A woman photographed the occurrence and asked him if he would mind if she posted them on the net. He laughed out loud and gave his permission. The story and the photos went round the world and pleased many people! === If you're interested in more animal stories, click on the green box above the title.
