What was that?
|
|
|
|
You freeze, all your senses on alert. Not mineral. Not vegetable, either.
|
|
That means...animal? Your eyes scan the countryside, swiveling like
|
|
searchlights, and pause briefly on a grove of trees to the north.
|
|
|
|
"No, not there! Up here!" guides a voice edged with impatience. As you whirl
|
|
around, peering up, you squint and shield your eyes against the sun's glare.
|
|
Waving at you from the top of a rickety wooden fence is a well-groomed egg,
|
|
who confesses, "I could use a bit of help, if you don't mind."
|
|
|
|
After a long and rather awkward silence, the egg mutters, "It's very rude to
|
|
stare, you know. When I was your age, children were taught to respect their
|
|
elders, not gawk at them as if they were animals in a zoo." The egg crosses
|
|
his legs, folds his arms and pretends to ignore you.
