Gabi and the Crows

Gabi didn’t start out meaning to feed the crows… didn’t know, then, of their gratitude. She was just a little girl who was prone to dropping food. As she walked to the school bus invariably she would drop part of her snack which nearby crows would eat…and the next day would come back. Eventually Gabi began taking extra snacks and causing quite a fuss as she fed her crows on her way every day to and from the bus. Gabi enjoyed this so much (obviously so did the crows) that she started filling the bird bath in her back yard and laying peanuts out in rows. The crows would happily eat the peanuts then back to her yard they would sneak leaving trinkets behind for Gabi…shiny trinkets that would fit in their beaks They have also leave her screws and pins and paper clips as well as little animals that are no longer living… but Gabi doesn’t mind these at all she knows the gift is in the giving. How wonderful that a little girl, a murder of crows and the little presents they leave each other can show the world how every creature should be more like sisters and brothers. Can show the rest of the us on this planet by the presents they each leave (wether it’s peanuts, dead animals or paper clips) it is in the giving that we receive.
