Tears and Trails! This Penguin Actually Packs Its Own Bag to Buy Fish! Netizens: It's Simply Too Cute!
In Saga, Japan, there is a very famous penguin
If you ask the local elderly, they will definitely tell you: 'Ah, it's it! It's a really cute little guy.' In the decades before, there was a white and chubby penguin living in Saga
It walked with the children to school
However, the children going to school, it was to complete a special 'mission' – to buy fish for its owner. The children walking to school, holding small umbrellas, all wanted to shake hands with this island's little star. However, the little penguin walked straight to its destination with an air of self-importance
'What, what, have you never seen a penguin? How can you all be circling me?'
'Go to class, children, you're late!'
Rara penguin brothers, also had their little backpacks, set off!
Taking small steps, it was extremely steady
Take a look at the scenery along the way, hmm, it's really beautiful! Passing through many houses, meeting many familiar residents, nodding to them to greet
'Be careful, watch the traffic.'
'Hmm, I'll be okay!'
Finally——
Arrived at the destination, that is the Murakami Fish Shop
They're familiar with the owner, and the owner knows this little penguin, because she's a regular customer
'Take a break after coming all this way! I'll give you the freshest fish.'
Eating the fresh fish from Mrs. Murakami's hands, 'Wow, it's really delicious!'
As a result, before anyone could put the fish into its little backpack and close the zipper, the little penguin was eager to start its return journey
It seems like something is wrong, Mom, you asked me to buy fish, right? Walking along the road, a little exercise, drink a little water from Grandpa's bucket
Walked along the long street
'Mom, I'm home! Mom is waiting for you, take out the fish, pat the neck, it's hard work, darling!'
It's already waited for a long time!
It's called Rara, born in 1987, came to Mr. Saito's house
A fisherman discovered a stray penguin trapped in a fishing net in the Atlantic Ocean. Afraid that it would be injured if it returned to the sea with big waves and winds, he brought it back to the mainland. The little penguin was in the mainland, fortunately, Mr. Saito saw it, so he felt compassionate and decided to take it home. The little penguin was dying on the mainland, fortunately, Mr. Saito saw it, so he felt compassionate and decided to take it home
At that time, in the 1990s, to better take care of the little penguin, after inquiring with the penguin caretaker, Mr. Saito spent 400,000 yen to buy two air conditioners, so that it could live comfortably at home
And named it Rara
Mr. Saito's home was not very wealthy. Rara eats more than ten kilograms of fish every day, and the air conditioner runs 24 hours a day, which costs a lot of money every month. Mr. Saito's two young daughters followed suit. Mr. Saito's pressure was really unbearable
However, Mr. Saito's love for Rara was undeniable. In his eyes, Rara was not just a penguin, it was the eldest brother of his two daughters, and it was his child
Mrs. Saito did the same. To make a cute little backpack for Rara, let Rara help her buy fish and take a stroll~~~
The owner of Murakami Fish Shop also liked Rara, often prepared fresh fish for Rara and didn't charge
The children on the island also liked Rara, and the two little sisters took many photos with Rara
Rara is a pampered child!
In 2011, during Japan's Great Earthquake, netizens were worried about Rara. One netizen commented below: 'Rara and her family are no longer in the earthquake area, they shouldn't have anything happen.'
But actually, Rara left us in 1996 because of illness
Today is 2020, Rara has been away for 24 years
But people who loved it will never forget it
The old owner of Murakami Fish Shop is now white-haired and wrinkled, but when he hears Rara, his face is full of nostalgia
'Rara, it's really a cute child!'
When asking about the past, everyone still remembers that swaying penguin walking on the street
And Mr. Saito and his family
Mr. Saito is old now, but when he talks about Rara, he is full of nostalgia
There was a new little brother, a dog, at home, but Mrs. Saito still remembered every detail about Rara: what she likes to eat, where she likes to go…
Rara's photos are displayed in the most prominent position: taking a hiking trip with children, family group photos, all are there
The two sisters have grown up and married, but when they mention Rara, they are a little sad
She says: 'When I got married, Dad gave me Rara's photo. He said, 'You and Rara will grow up together, you two get married, and you will take Rara with you!'
When she's sad, she'll take out Rara's photo. It seems that way, she won't be sad
When talking about Rara's death, Mr. Saito and Mrs. Saito were still very sad. They hugged the child's stiff body, and tears couldn't stop flowing
Although, Rara has gone away forever. People still remember the joy Rara brought them, the way it swayed and walked, what it liked to go to the fish shop, what it liked to eat
Now, the road it often walked is called Rara Road
We seem to see a little penguin coming, it's walking to the fish shop, it remembers to complete its mission, to buy fish for its mother
