WHAT WE CAN LEARN ABOUT LIFE AND EDUCATION
FROM TEDDY DRAGONS.

(But probably not apply for humans.)

If we went to Teddy Dragon (T.D) schools, we would have a more improved human society. The reason for this is, the Teddy Dragons have this to offer:

1. A Tonal Language. MEEP is the only word in the dictionary. Different sounding MEEPs can mean different things. Therefore singing is an important way of learning.

2. Direct mind transfer of information.

3. Cumulative communal knowledge - all T.D's are born knowing what their ancestors already knew.

4. Talent searches for T.Ds who know facts not known by any other T.D - milked for the info by a mind transfer machine becomes communal knowledge for all T.Ds.

5. T.Ds are naturally curious - they just want to know.

6. Feel is important for information gathering. They touch things, and if it is not recognised, it is uploaded to the Mind Transfer Communal Direct Link Machine. (MTCDLM) (I love long names. *grin*)

7. Chocolate truck-load reward for new knowledge - so every T.D waits with baited breath for their truck to come. Each T.D is expected to find one new item of knowledge per lifetime.

8. Because it is communal knowledge there is no need for gossip, no secrets, no need for spies or assassins and lots of wars get cancelled or get played out in a pre-planned battle-field. As a matter of fact, no crime, because everyone knows who is guilty.

9. And, all T.Ds like school, because they wish to find one more item of knowledge, or be the one who will combine two pieces of knowledge in order for the chocolate truck to arrive.

A FEW INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT TEDDY DRAGONS:

1. T.Ds are soft toy dog things that can fly. (Metaphorically speaking.) If Christian Freitag (me) was never bored, T.Ds would not exist. But, they do not look exactly like dogs. For one, they go on their hind legs, and flap their arms to fly, and use their ears for balance and flying.

2. They lay eggs in hats.

3. Their stuffing is their insides and blood. If they get cut and then rushed to a hospital, a person might say, "Quick, he's losing stuffing!!! Stuff him!!"

4. When T.Ds die, they are like Phoenixes, they rise from their fur and live again, about 1000 T.D years later, though they have very long life spans anyway.

5. And by the way, their time is different, so 1000 T.D years is hardly anything here.

6. T.Ds can teleport themselves.

7. T.Ds are a LOT more technologically advanced than humans.

8. Occasionally they 'adopt' people and sometimes share some of their information with them. Though the human normally sees it as though they've adopted the T.D, and the T.D sees it as though the human adopted it.

9. They're generally good natured apart from the fierce Middle Eastern Teddy Dragons, and the trigger-happy Militeddies, who are Australia's T.D army.
