Prompts = Gift, Bird, Pact
‘But Herman! What about the pact?’
Betsy was referring to, of course, the ancient agreement between parrots and toucans wherein gifts are exchanged each Tuesday following the first Full Moon after the first rains each year.
And people say birds are stupid. I challenge any human to keep track of any annual event without a calendar. Or Google.
But I digress.
Despite Betsy’s pleading, Herman was determined to go on a week-long fishing trip with the local herons, meaning he’d be out of town when that Tuesday of Tuesdays arrived.
Would anyone notice he was missing?
What might happen?
