strange tales It`s been a while since I last properly visited Italky and I`m still short of time, so my language studies doesn`t go very well. I`ve started listening BBS English podcasts though, they make an amazing series of programm dedicated to different topics. Very convinient to listen to while going to work, for example. Today, though, I was listening something different, but not less interesting. A programm about medieval bestiaries, popular in Middle Ages illustrated volumes of articles about various animals, existed or mithical, which mediaval people believe to be real too. What a strange beliefs use to go then! For instanse, did you know that baby-bears come into this world formless, and than mother-bear leaks her cubs and shapes them with her tongue. (Probably that`s there phrase "licks into shape" come from) And the little lions are born dead, and only on third day their father lion come and embreathe life into them. And I`m not telling about dragons and unicorns. Such a creative imagination they must had to concoct all these tales.
