the man who fed the birds and squirrels page 4 by ric gustafson
Robbie turned on the electric trimmer and began to trim around their fence. As he trimmed around the fence next to Mr Barnes's yard, he noticed that he was leaning against his wooden deck. To Robbie, it looked like something was wrong.
He turned off the trimmer, laid it down and ran toward his open gate. He quickly walked over to his friend. " Are you ok Mr Barnes?".
" Yes, my chest hurts a little bit" he said as he pointed toward his back fence. " Robbie, look over at the back fence near the bird feeder".
Robbie looked at the fence and saw a beautiful huge bird on top of it. " What kind of bird is that?".
" That my young friend is a hawk".
" It's beautiful".
" It sure is" Mr Barnes said as they walked closer.
All of a sudden, the bird slowly flew away into the sky.
" Look at that wingspan" Robbie said as the hawk disappeared over the trees.
" That's why I put bird seed out for the birds and squirrels" the old man said as he smiled. " Because they are all God's creations".
Peace and God's blessings. Love Ric
