Seeds

I filled up the bird feeder with seeds. I went inside and sat by the window, waiting.

About a half-hour later a bird flew down onto the feeder and partook.

The bird noticed me and said, “Hello.”

I opened the window and said, “It’s freezing out. There’s no food anywhere but here. I don’t understand why you wouldn’t be waiting by this bird feeder all day long for it to get filled. If I found a box stuffed with hundred dollar bills, I’d never leave the box. I wouldn’t sleep so I could be awake when the box gets filled again.”

The bird said, “Isn’t it enough that you’re talking with a bird?”
