Little Big Emil - (Not) Given to Fly

Roam the world, and FLY, whenever, wherever and however possible! / Cestovat po svete, a hlavne LETAT, kdykoliv, kdekoliv a jakkoliv to bude mozne!

[ENG] Small bird, great spirit. Emil's greatest wish is to fly. Unfortunately, he isn't physically capable of flying - he tries very hard, but his little wings just can't bear his weight. Longing for some adventure, Emil decided to start travelling. He likes e.g. riding a bicycle - hanging from the handlebars or the rider's neck, he can feel and hear the wind going by his ears, sense the movement and almost feel like flying...

Though Emil doesn't have wings big enough to fly, he certainly does have the will and courage that's also needed! If you decide to help him fly at least for a moment, he won't hesitate to do anything you can think of (e.g. fly a kite, a model plane, aboard a real plane...)
PLEASE! Emil, due to his enthusiasm, may not think about all the risks that could be connected with various ways of flying. YOU have to consider safety - please, don't let Emil get hurt!

Even when not actually flying, Emil likes heights. He loves mountains, but also any other elevated place with a good view - whether it is a hill top, a lookout tower, a tall building... etc.

Your assistance in Emil's travelling - or even flying - will be highly appreciated. Any photographs or stories will be appreciated even more! �� Thank you.

[CZ] Emil je ptacek maly vzrustem, ale velkeho ducha. Jeho snem je letat, priroda mu ale bohuzel moc neprala. Emil pravidelne cvici a trenuje, ale jeho mala kridelka mu proste letat neumoznuji, at se snazi sebevic. Proto se rozhodl hledat dobrodruzstvi jinde a vydal se cestovat. Nejradeji cestuje na kole, zaveseny na riditkach (nebo na krku jezdce) tak citi a slysi vitr, bezprostredne vnima pohyb a skoro se citi, jako by letel.
Jak uz jsem naznacil, odvaha neni to, co Emilovi chybi k letani. Jestli se rozhodnete mu pomoci a umoznit mu opravdu chvili letet, vrhne se bez vahani do vseho, co vas jen napadne. Necha se povesit na draka a vzletne s nim do vyse. Nebude vahat nastoupit do letadla, at uz modelu primerene velikosti, nebo do opravdoveho stroje... atd. Jen na nej prosim dohlednete, aby si neublizil, zvazte, jestli se mu pri vasem napadu nemuze neco vazneho stat!

I kdyz zrovna neleta, ma Emil rad vysky. Miluje hory, ale i jina vyvysena mista s dobrymi rozhledy, at jsou to vrcholky kopcu, rozhledny, skaly, vysoke konstrukce aj.
Jestli Emilovi pomuzete cestovat nebo dokonce i letat, bude vam on i ja vdecny. Jeste krasnejsi bude, kdyz svuj log doplnite o zajimave vypraveni nebo fotografie. Diky !!!

Mala poznamka na zaver: Emil je samozrejme jen postavicka, pomahat mu uskutecnit jeho sen muze byt zabavne, ale je to jen hra. Jenze na tomhle svete je spousta zivych bytosti, ktere maji sve sny a prani, v jejichz uskutecneni jim neco brani. Nemusi byt marne venovat nekdy par minut myslence, jak muze kazdy z nas pomoci nekomu jinemu. Treba malickosti.

Posledni poznamka, ktera s vyse uvedenym primo nesouvisi: pokud by vas zajimalo neco o puvodu teto plysove figurky, muzete nakouknout na Emiluv puvod

:] Nahodou jsem narazil na velmi pekny filmecek urcitym zpusobem blizky Emilovi - o ptackovi, ktery chtel letat, prestoze na to nemel poradna kridla... KiWi (Nice animated movie about a little bird with underdeveloped wings, that - just like Emil - wanted to fly...).
