Robbie hit a plastic golf ball and because of the wind, flew farther than he had expected. He frowned as he observed that the wind had taken it into old man Barnes's yard. He stood there thinking about how he was going to get it.
He watched as the old man slowly put bird seed into the multicolored bird feeder. As he turned to walk away, a pretty blue bird quietly flew down and began to peck at the seed.
The old man turned and saw the teen standing by the fence. " Good afternoon young Robbie".
" I'm sorry to bother you Mr Barnes" he said as he pointed toward the lawn. " My plastic golf ball flew into your yard".
The old man slowly bent down, picked up the plastic golf ball and handed it back to Robbie. " Anything else I can do for you?".
" I was observing that pretty blue bird that was already eating your seed".
" That my young friend is a blue jay".
" A blue jay?".
" There are two things about blue jays that really interest me" he said as he watched the bird quickly eat and then leave. " First , blue jays are highly curious and are very intelligent birds".
" What 's the second?".
The old man smiled at Robbie. " They are one of God's creatures".
