The Daily Prompt
The friendly, English-speaking extraterrestrial you run into outside your house is asking you to recommend the one book, movie, or song that explains what humans are all about.
What do you pick?
❤
I would definitely pick: The Old Man and the Sea – Ernest Hemingway. It is undoubtedly one of the best books I’ve ever read. I think it would give an extraterrestrial a lot of insight into human nature.

I’m doing two posts in one today. Above is a photo of a regular visitor in my garden. This is for Michelle’s Weekly Pet Challenge. If you’d like to take part, then please click on the logo below.
For: The Daily Prompt
Hope* the happy hugger 
I like your visitor!
There are so many of them here. Sometimes a whole lot of them come to tea 🙂
*Hugs*
Jonathan Livinstone Seagull & The Dove are my choice
Love your choices too, Son 🙂
*Hugs*
What a wonderful choice!
Thank you so much 🙂
*Hugs*
🙂 My pleasure
Have a great Friday!
Same to you 🙂
thank you 🙂
Wow, a book telling what “we humans are all about” I guess a lot of people would pick the Bible, The old man and the sea is a good book as well however I think I would have to recommend a whole crapload of books to explain what we are all about. Orwell of course, Hemingway, Shakespeare and Agatha Christie must be in the list. Arthur C Clark and Robert A Heinlein can’t be missed either. Of course Dickens. Imo Beatrice Potter too . Uh…. Wells, Andersen, Shaw, King, Hunter S Thompson, Goethe and let’s not forget Tolkien and Rowling. Oh…..and let’s throw Patty van Delft in the mix as well so they have a new Author as well.
I think this would be a reading list that would give them a good notion of what humans are all about. our joys, Our fears, our light and dark sides. Our realities and fantasies etc etc.
Writing all these great authors down made me want to read 😛
I agree with you, I had so many in mind too, but could choose only one. Thanks Mavadelo 🙂

Great pick!
I have no idea what I’d choose for that prompt.
Probably something inappropriate. 😉
lol, I’m sure you would make a good choice. It is difficult though because we can only choose one, and there are so many 🙂

I’ve never read that book, because I haven’t been able to get into Hemingway’s style of writing, but maybe I’ll have to try it again. So…what kind of bird is that? It is beautiful! What a great shot!
It’s a Hadeda Ibis, found in many African regions. There are many of them around here. They all gather in a tree nearby in the evenings. They are very loud, but I love having them around 🙂
*Hugs*
Okay. I’ve heard of an Ibis, but not a Hadeba Ibis. 🙂 Thanks for letting me know. That must be awesome to see them every day! 🙂
I went and found the Leonard and Lula tortoise video and had to put it on my blog today with a link back to you. It made me cry!
Hugs back to you!
I’ll pop over and have a look ❤

Pingback: I'm a Writer, Yes I Am
Yes. Yes. YES. I am in total agreement about The Old Man and The Sea being the best all-time book written. Thank you Ernest Hemingway. ❤
So glad you agree with me, Tess 🙂
*Hugs*

Its a fine book read it years ago! Now its time to read it again 🙂
It is a fine book, hope you enjoy reading it again 🙂
*Hugs*
Hadedas drive me insane!
These here drove me crazy once, but I am so used to them now, I like having them around 🙂
*Hugs8
Seems like lovely book, Hope. The Hadeda is cute…and big…. Pawkisses for a Happy Weekend 🙂
Have a lovely weekend too angel 🙂

The Truth – Terry Pratchett.
That is a great shot of the Hadada Ibis.
I am busy compiling a photo catalogue of all the birds that visit out spot.
We also get the Hadada tramping all over the lawn , but I will consider myself very fortunate indeed to get such a superb capture as this, Michelle.
Thanks so much Ark. I shot this one from the bedroom window, had to zoom my poor camera to its limit 🙂 Looking forward to seeing your collection 🙂
