the little bird <br />driven by hunger <br />comes near the place <br />where you are seating <br />because you <br />spread some grains <br />of rice <br />on the ground just <br />below the tree <br /> <br />without looking at you <br />it pecks upon a few <br />nibbling <br />and then in a few seconds <br />flies away <br /> <br />swims through the air <br />and leaves you <br />once again <br />feeling so fettered....<br /><br />RIC S.
