A new title in the highly popular Beast Therapy series focusing on the exploration of human feelings through animal stories. We’ve met a walrus with a vulnerable personality, a blusterous tiger, and a foul-mouthed boar, a seemingly lazy slot and now it’s time to talk about ostrishes and fears.
An anxious ostrich is afraid of everything: a buffalo is grunting and the ostrich is scared, believing that it’s a thunderstorm; a giraffe is bending down and the ostrich is thinking that it’s a vulture swooping down, about to stick its head in the sand; the ostrich sees a shadow of a tree at night and aaaah! he is panicing that it’s a lion, lurking in the dark. Every time the ostrich gets himself scared so badly that he drops to the ground, as ostriches do, squeezes his eyes shut, and lays flat, all afraid. Or he shivers somewhere behind a bush. It’s a good thing that other animals help the ostrich to deal with his fears.
