How I Drowned A Wolf

I gazed around for a nice juicy worm. The weather was a little chilly but I managed. Out of the corner of my eye, I see a long worm. “ My golly, I hit the jackpot!” I chirp to myself. My eyes pop out of my head for I had not eaten for a while and a single worm looked like a buffet. I begin a walk forward. The wind was picking up, shaking up the woods. The winds danced throughout, carrying me with them. I got caught next to a rock that stopped me. I finally made it to the shiny, brown worm. ‘THUMP!’ Down went the tree on my beloved snack. Just as I began to throw a fit, I saw something just as interesting. There stood a tall, dark horse. Along with the creature stood two men in front of the broken bridge. One of which was probably their master. There along the side of the river stood a blood-thirsty wolf. I am not the smartest bird so me and my bird brain thought it would be a good idea to socialize with a wolf. Seriously, what was I thinking! “Hello! What brings you here?” I chirped while fighting off the winds. The wolf turned to me, eyes hungry. “ Just waiting for my meal. Don’t get in my way or you may just become part of it.”, said the wolf eyeing the horse with drool coming down his sharp teeth. “My plan is to wait for the horse to be foolish enough to walk on the bridge, fall into the river and rip the beast open to chew a delicious meal!” I didn’t like the sound of his plan because I thought it would be rude to take the humans along with the horse. “ Aren’t the humans innocent? They really have nothing to do with your want for meat.”, I said this later realizing how ignorant I was for trying to reason with a wolf. Today was filled with mistakes. Looking hungrier than before, the furry beast began talking to himself while staring into my soul, “He is kind of small but if the river plan doesn’t work I can always feast on him. It just won’t be as hearty of a meal.” He must be talking about me. I shivered at the thought of being eaten. I still thought his plan was not right. “ I guess I oughta be going now!” I shouted over the loud noises of shaking trees. I decided that maybe if I told the tollgate of the broken bridge he would ward off the horse and the two men. I had finally arrived at the tollgate and began hitting the window with my beak. The tollgate seemed distracted with the newspaper he was reading. When I finally got his attention, the whole story came exploding out of my beak. He just stared in confusion. Turns out it was all a waste since he did not understand chirp. What a waste of time. I guess I have to take matters into my own hands. I made my way back to the wolf. He still had his set on the beautiful creature staying relatively far from the water. . Everytime the harsh waves made a splash, he stepped further away. Then it him me. He must have A), a fear of water or B), he can’t swim. I wanted to defend the three beings standing before the broken bridge. Trusting my instincts, I began pecking at him. “ STOP THAT THIS INSTANT!” he howled losing his balance due to the strong breezes and me attacking him. With the last peck, he fell into the water. His paws kept trying to catch onto the nearest branch out of desperation to live. I felt guilt at the bottom of my heart. While fighting to stay on the ground I hear the toll gate rush out to shout, “Hoy, hoy, hoy! Stop!”. He could barely be heard over the rustling of the leaves. “What’s the matter?” shouted back the man I assumed to be the master of the horse. “ The bridge is broken in the middle, and part of it is carried away; if you come on, you’ll be in the river.” replied the tollgate. I then realized I had likely done a good deed! The storm began to settle down when I noticed my stomach rumble. Just then I spotted another juicy worm and took no time to wait to eat it. Maybe today was not so bad. I helped save lives and earned a delicious worm!
