JUST A BIRD
The little girl looked
at the bird.
The bird looked at the
little girl.
'Hey, bird.'
....
The drought was sapping
her strength. The humans had food. And she needed to feed her
slowly starving chicks.
She stared at the
child, willing her to understand.
....
Maddie gazed at the
bird and frowned. It looked skinny. She picked up her father's
jar of fishing worms and gently tipped some of the contents onto the
window sill.
'Thank you,' said the
bird.
'You're welcome,' said
Maddie.
Her mother called from another room. 'Who are you talking to, Maddie?'
'Just a bird.'
