Randy Rabbit sniffed at the ground.
“Yum, bird seed,” he said. “My favorite.”
“It’s a trap!” Saffron Starling called from above. “Why would there be a pile of seed in one place?”
Randy considered this. “A trick of the wind?”
“No! People! Humans!”
From some distance away, a dog barked.
Randy ate a few kernels of seed.
“It’s tasty,” he said.
“So are you, they reckon.”
“You think?”
Somewhere closer, a dog barked twice.
“You don’t have to tell me twice,” Randy said, scooting away.
“Literally, I just did,” Saffron shouted at Randy’s tail as he bounded away.
