:

Once upon a time in the 1990's I had a hawk named White Head. I used to call him just W.H.

One day W.H. and I went for a walk in the woods. As we were walking I saw something so cool that I started to run after it. I let W.H. go to fly after it. But after running around for a long time, I was getting worried because I couldn't find W.H. It was getting late when I thought I should go home. I might get lost and I wouldn't be able to find my way back to where I was staying. Anyway I thought that if I went home W.H. would follow me instead of playing games.

After I went home I made W.H. some food to eat, but he still didn't come home. So right then I knew that he was missing. I didn't think the cops or search and rescue could look for him, so I had to look for him all by myself.

It was 10:30 at night, and it was really dark. But I went out to look for him anyway. And do you know what? He was sitting right on top of a tree. So then and there I thought, man, I ought to give that bird away!!!

THE END!!!!!!
