A Teaching Moment For Little Nora

Little Nora and Grandpa Bill
sit on swings in Grandma’s garden.  
A hummingbird arrives to sample

the brilliant flowers at this buffet. 
Grandpa Bill sees a teaching moment 
and asks little Nora with a smile  

if hummingbirds have beaks or bills.
Little Nora has a teaching moment,  
says, “Grandpa, they have straws."
