But in reality, the calculation of such periods was relative: in fact, while three hundred years had gone by on earth, on that panda's tree barely ten minutes had passed.”Ī Great Deliverance by Elizabeth George About BookQuotersīookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, Of one of these panda it was told that he spent millennia thinking on his own tree, from which he climbed down to the ground every three hundred years. In Asia there exists a little creature known as the lesser panda, which looks like something between a squirrel and a teddy bear and lives on the trees in inaccessible mountain forests and every now and then it comes down to the ground, looking for buds to eat.
