The Raven Danced for
Scott
A couple of years back I was riding up the road
leading to the dump on a four wheeler with four bags of trash and
Scott as my passenger. I was cruising along splashing through puddles
at about fifteen miles per hour. As we approached the dump site I
spotted about twenty or thirty ravens living their boring but normal
life at the dump.
Anyways, as I slowed down the four wheeler to a
complete stop, I whispered to Scott to look at the birds. Even as
small as his face was at the time, you could still see all that was
expressed on it. He smiled a humongous smile and his eyes lit up. He
turned towards me and said, "Holy cow, you see all those birrrrds?" I
had to crack a little smile myself because of his pronunciation of
the word "birds."
After watching the ravens for a while he asked
if he could sneak up on to them. I said, "sure." So he bent down to
where he touched his knees on his chest and walked as if he were a
duck. I watched him as he got closer and closer to the birds. Then he
stopped and was motionless. Then I walked up to him silently and bent
down beside him to where I could see every single bird instead of
just the eight or ten from where I was at. From there I could finally
see what he saw. It was one of the biggest birds of the flock and a
very wise-looking one. The bird slid from one side to the next, left
to right, and bounced up and down. Scott thought the bird was dancing
for him. Then I stood up quickly and all at once the birds flew in
every direction.
