There are innumerable kinds of living creatures on the face of
the earth. From pets such as cats, which we come across

how can little birds, which cover thousands of kilometers
during a non-stop migration, perform this hard task. The
more detailed information we get, the more amazed we be-
come.
Every living being has a particular body structure. Some fly,
others swim. For example the body structure of a fish is ex-
actly as it needs for life underwater. It has the lungs, eyes
and skin that enable it to live underwater. The lungs and
feathers of birds have the structures that enable them to fly.
There is no doubt that these living creatures did not by them-

carry out extraordinary tasks. These creatures are not the
ones who invented the tasks, each of which is more aston-

tasks they carry out by chance either. It is not possi-
ble for them to know all these things unless there is
