Too Big To Fall

Too big to fall. Daybreak from cobalt to light blue the first sunrays hit the west wall, and grey wall becomes brilliantly white. The sun kept on shining the wall turned brown and finally self ignited, and since it was a house wall the house burnt down, it took the fire truck one hour to get to there. But out of the ashes raised a ruffled cockatoo with a lighter in its claws, flew to the neighbouring house, where it sat flicking it. A police officer tried to shot it, but missed, the bird flew to the forest and many fires began, the arson stopped, it was said, when it ran out of lighter fuel. Everybody blamed the parrot and hunted it to extinction as the sun was too big to obliterate.
