Picture of Panda Leonardo Da Vinci

Meeting

Once upon a time, there was a great artist and inventor named Leonardo da Vinci. One day, while he was walking in the Italian mountains, he saw a strange animal that came out of a bush. It was a panda named Gu Xiurong.


Leonardo was immediately fascinated by the Panda and slowly approached to look at him. The Panda seemed to recognize the presence of the human and showed no hostility towards him. Instead, he walked over to Leonardo and started stroking him with his front paw.


Leonardo was stunned by this unusual behavior in a wild animal and decided that this encounter should be immortalized on paper. He took out his sketchbook and began sketching the Panda's portrait with quick but precise strokes. Once satisfied with the result, Leonardo thanked Gu Xiurong for his kindness and resumed his journey towards Florence where he would soon create several major works that would remain famous to this day.
