| Quite disoriented and somewhat shocked, the scrawny man squinted back at the tall woman who had come running up to him. He didn't recognize her, though after all, he didn't much expect to recognize anyone from the outside.
Not at all sure what to make of this overly talkative (well, to him it seemed) woman, he opened his mouth to speak.
"Now just what's all the commotion about around he..."
In an instant, he was a crumpled heap on the ground. He looked up from the grass to see a Cucco running around in circles, "BUCKAW!"-ing its head off. He soon realized the bird had crashed full-speed into his head.
His hearing was hampered from the blow, but he distinctly heard the tall woman gleefully shout, "You found one! You found one!"
What a day to go back outside, he thought to himself... |
