Inyaniso yokuba kwi-Intanethi ungathenga yonke into, bekudala kungekho ndaba. Kodwa ngelixa umntu ekhangela ingubo entsha okanye i-smartphone, kukho iikrankthi, ezonwabileyo, ziphela nje iiqanda zeentaka ezingonakaliyo!
Kwaye akusiyo ihlaya - uCharlotte Harrison waseBordon (Hampshire) akakwazanga ukujamelana nokuthanda kwakhe phambi kweso sondeza, wathenga i-e-bird emu emu nge $ 30. Ngaba ufuna ukwazi oko kwenzeke?
Ukuthengwa kwakhe okungavamile, okuthunyelwe ukusuka kwinqanaba laseDorset, intombazana efunyenwe kwibhokisi ye-polystyrene ngoNovemba 17. Umxholo wayo kwakuyiqanda ubungakanani besundu kunye nobukhulu obuyi-175 gram.
Kodwa kule ntsizi uCharlotte waqala ukufumana umxhasi - ufunda yonke into ekhoyo kwiWebhu kwaye wafumanisa ukuba ngoNovemba ukuba u-emu uqala ixesha lokuzalisa. Kodwa le yithuba lokuba uzame ukufumana intaka yakho inqabileyo!
Awuyi kukholwa, kodwa uCharlotte wathenga inkqubo yekhaya yokufaka amaqanda:
"Kwiindawo ezizodwa, ndafunda ukuba ngexesha lokutshatyalaliswa kwexesha, iqanda limele lilahlekelwe ngama-15% wamanzi kwaye, ngokufanayo, ubunzima. Kwafuneka ndijonge rhoqo umgangatho wobuninzi kwaye ndiwulawulwe. Kodwa into ebalulekileyo kukuba ndifihlile i-incubator egumbini lam unyana wam omncinci uRis, ekubeni wayesegumbini elinentombi eneminyaka engama-4 ubudala ka-Ellie, akukho nto yenzekile! "
Kwiintsuku ezingama-35 ezalandelayo, njengoko iqanda liye lavela kwi-incubator, ubomi bukaCharlotte behluke kakhulu kubomi be-emukazikazi. Eli bhinqa lalibukele "iwadi" nganye ngeminithi, isisindo, siyiphendule kwaye isitshintshiswe.
UCharlotte uyakhumbula: "Kwaye sasingacingi into endiyenzayo okanye ayikho. Sasibe nethemba ... "
Phakathi noDisemba, ngomhla wama-36 wolu vavanyo, uCharlotte wasusa iqanda kwi-incubator waza wayibeka ithawula. Kwavela ukuba ukuze intaka ibe ngathi ihlala kwindawo yokuhlala, kwakudingeka idale imvelaphi yomsindo. Yaye loo ntokazi yayingenakukhetha kodwa ukuqala ukukhangela, i-squeak kwaye yenze ingxolo, ixelise izandi ze-emu kwizinto eziphilayo!

UCharlotte uyasitshela: "Xa intombi yam ibona kuqala inkukhu, wayenomdla kakhulu." U-Ellie wabuya wenyuka igama lakhe - uKevin, ngokuhlonipha umlingani wakhe ozithandayo kwi-cartoon ye-Disney "Up". Kwaye kwenzeka ntoni kum kumgca wesisa kunye nomnqweno wokunyamekela. Kuyamangalisa ukuba ukuthenga kwam eBay kuphelile ngale ndlela! "

"Xa ndihlala phantsi embhedeni, unyanzela umlenze wam. Ukuba umntu uthatha ngesandla, undijonga ngamehlo. Ndinguye wokuqala uKevin akubonile xa waqhankqalaza, kwaye wakhumbula ilizwi lam kunye neengqungquthela kunye nengxolo kwaye ngoku ucinga ukuba ndiyinina! "
Namhlanje inkukhu ineminyaka emithathu ubudala, kwaye sele ijwayele kwindlu yangasese, inqabileyo yothando irotithi kwaye idlala idlala neebhere ze-teddy.
"Umyeni wam uDarren unyancenga ukuba ndilahle uKevin ngokukhawuleza," u-Charlotte ulwabiwo. "I-Emu yiyona ntaka yesibini enkulu kwihlabathi kwaye umntwana wethu ukhula ngokukhawuleza. Kodwa oku akunakwenzeka. Nsuku zonke siyaqhotyoshela kuye ngakumbi! "
