the Birds of the Bible Museum page 8 by ric gustafson
One of the girls ran up to the next exhibit. " Daddy, we've seen this bird at the zoo".
He walked up and stared at it. " You're right we have".
" Daddy, is that the bird who's wings stretch out?".
" That is correct" Betty said as she walked up and stopped. " That is a peacock".
The mother smiled. " The ones we've seen at the zoo look pretty".
" The peacock has pretty colors and when it stretches it's tail feathers, it could go more than a yard long".
The mother thought for a moment. " Where in the bible do they mention peacocks?".
" Actually it was first mentioned in the time of Solomon".
" He was a very smart man".
" He was". Betty smiled and straightened her nametag. " Every three years he would send vessels to distant countries".
" What would he bring back?".
" Gold, silver, apes and peacocks".
The father smiled. " Every time I see a peacock at the zoo now, I will think of Solomon".
