.......Thomas went down to the lake and perched himself in a tree that was close by so he could hear the men talk. They were already laughing when he got there. He listened for a while, trying to memorize the stories so he always had something interesting to say. He was a smart bird. After a while, the men gathered their fishing tackle box and left. Thomas was about to go fly because it was his favorite thing to do when he was bored. He had already spread his wings and was ready to jump, when out of the corner of his eye, he saw her.
