A garden without birds is still a garden.
The flowers bloom.
The fountain splashes.
The leaves sway in the wind.
Yet something feels unfinished.
Fables
The Rabbit and the Carrots
A fox knocked on a rabbit's door.
"Could I have some carrots?" he asked.
The rabbit looked at him.
Then she looked at the size of his belly.
A thought arrived a moment later.
The rabbit blinked.
"You look well-fed."
"I am," said the fox. "But your carrots are easier."
