The chameleon (lat. Talpa) was once the fastest animal living on our planet, way before the humans walked on earth. It was faster than any Jaguar hunting in the jungle, faster than any cheetah running in the savanna and even faster than the beat of the hummingbird’s wings. One day the chameleon was running through the jungle again not knowing the son of Mother Nature was visiting the jungle. With all its hectic and speed the chameleon ran over Mother Nature’s son and the whole jungle was shocked. Every animal was looking at the chameleon, which was clearly embarrassed over its action. It helped the son to get back up on its feet and swore him to never be stressed and hectic ever again. Since this day the chameleon is the slow and chilled animal we know today.

When we first heard of this story, we thought this still fits really well into today’s society. Sometimes we should open our eyes, slow down a bit and enjoy the moment.
