A Chat with Mr. Crow

Once upon a chilly June morning, Mr. Eagle was having a chat with Mr. Crow.  Mr. Eagle, hungry, was asking Mr. Crow if he knew of any newcomers to the neighborhood.  Mr. Crow said he did not know.

As Mr. Eagle was chatting amiably with Mr. Crow, a gaggle of geese were approaching from the rear.

Do you suppose Mr. Crow did indeed know?  I surely thought there would be a show.

 Mr. and Mrs. Goose and their five youngsters were not happy with Mr. Eagle venturing upon their territory.  They had recently claimed this land for themselves and weren't about to share with the likes of this predator.  With Mr. Crow on one side and Mr. and Mrs. Goose and their five youngsters on the other side, Mr. Eagle soon realized he was outnumbered.  There was not to be a show.  Wouldn't you know.

 Mr. Eagle flapped his mighty wings and with his tail feathers between his taloned legs,  he departed as he arrived--in one fell swoop.  I bet we haven't seen the last of Mr. Eagle.....

 

Mr. and Mrs. Goose and their five youngsters then enjoyed a family swim in Lake Julia.
