”Grandpa Tea, how about we take a taxi? It is quite close so it won't cost much.”
Zhang Zian noticed that Old Time Tea kept staring at the cars, so he thought it wanted to get a ride. He totally understood that Old Time Tea was getting old and a ride in a car would be handy.
”Nope, we can walk there,” Old Time Tea said humbly. ”Everything in this new era seems interesting to me. Look, even cars have dozens of various models. It is true that seeing is believing. TV shows don't represent the real world.”
Zhang Zian got a great idea upon hearing Old Time Tea's words. He could get a 3D TV which Old Time Tea could watch through a pair of 3D glasses. It had to be a great experience for it… Or he could turn them invisible and take them all out for an Imax movie. He had fun just by thinking about how terrified Fina would be.
Considering Galaxy, going during the day would be ideal because there would be less of an audience.
He would pick a movie that was good for all ages. They probably would not enjoy Sci-fi movies. Horror movies were also not a good choice, and chick-flicks would make him sad… Disney movies would be excellent, something like ”Frozen”. It had been the bestseller all over the world because it was a great movie for all ages…
Pointing at an 18-wheeler, Zhang Zian said, ”Look, Grandpa Tea. You have to stay away from those trucks. They are too heavy and may not be able to stop on time… Also look out for the electric mopeds. Man, those things are fast. If you stay on the sidewalk, you should be fine.”
Old Time Tea kept observing and nodded.
When they arrived at the intersection near the pet shop, Old Time Tea saw the crossway and asked, ”I saw those on TV. People have to wait until the cars stop?”
”That's right. When the light across the road turns green, pedestrians may cross. However, you need to look around and keep an eye on some bad drivers. There are so many people that drive without a license or when they are drunk. Sometimes they play with their phone when driving… it is very dangerous indeed. We have to be alert and stay away from those people.
The traffic in China was quite messy because there were too many people, cars, bicycles and electric mopeds. Public transportation was great, but when a whole family went somewhere, it was much easier to have your own car. It also brought integrity to the family. He remembered the naughty kid's mom kept saying that they needed a car… Zhang Zian wondered how the naughty kid was doing.
When there were too many cars, dead animals could be found on the side of the street. Sometimes kids ran into accidents when the adults weren't paying attention.
An animal's eye level was very different from that of the human being. They usually could see farther away, so they could spot enemies before they got close. However, animals were short, so their eyes could see as high as car tires. When a car came towards them at extremely high speed, they usually wouldn't be fast enough to get away. Especially at night, most animals would be blinded by a car's high beam headlights.
