( four & two )

July 25, 2011

.

aren't we grand with our four fine legs?
four legs good! they said
two legs bad! they surmised


the sparrow overheard and quickly peeked down to count.
only two legs! but she wasn't a bad sparrow.
perhaps a wee bit naughty...

i'll play them a trick she said...
and flew down to the ground.


and this is how they found her.
two little four-legs looked down and saw her little body on the ground.
two legs bad? they said.
they don't look so bad. do you think we caused this?
and they tucked their tails low to show they were sad.

peep! peep!


and the sparrow showed them everything was alright.
four legs good! two legs just as good!
and then she offered them a worm. 

( i couldn't quite get a picture of their reaction. i was laughing too hard to hold the camera. )

  2. Oh no. Went looking for the sparrow in your shop but she/he had already found a new destination. Keep making these gorgeous birds, please. :) The wolves are beautiful!
