Springboks

Tonight they show a documentary about animals in South Africa on TV. Every time I come across an animal documentary I get stuck. Unable to switch channels ever again and immediately stop everything else I am doing. Usually I am a multi-tasker, especially while watching TV. I have to do something else like reading. Not when they show animals. I stare at the screen without moving, my mouth a little open like a kid watching a cartoon. Why is my fascination still the same?  After  seeing them for a hundred times. Still paralyzed when springboks jump high in the air as soon as the rain stops. We still don’t know why they jump. There is no reason.
Maybe they are just happy when the rain stops, when the grass sprouts out of the dry and sandy ground. It looks like elegant but strange ballet.
The springboks are able to jump 4 meters from the stand.
I could watch them forever.
