the kindness of the pigeon

Today I was sitting on the couch drinking a cup of delicious herbal tea. I had just risen from a refreshing slumber when what to my wondering eyes should appear out of the window but a flock of garbage eating pigeons. I ran outside to protect my elderly and naive beagle from this gang of terrible birds. Just as I was preparing to lift the hefty 30 pounds of beagle from the ground and run in the opposite direction, I spotted a beautiful and calming sight. Amongst the plump and ugly garbage eaters, who were beginning to tear up the lawn, sat a slim and majestic pigeon with a reddish coloured tint and beams of light radiating from under its wings. I stood frozen in time, with plump-y beagle at my feet, both of us quiet and taking in this sight. It called out, not in a regular make-my-ears-bleed pitch, but in a soft upbeat tone, like a young Celine Dion. I was drawn to this sound and thus began to approach the flock slowly. As I drew near, the fat and ugly pigeons began to separate and create a pathway so that I could approach the Celine Dion bird. When I was a few metres away from the pigeon, with the reddish tint, I saw that it was indeed a most special kind of pigeon. It was a messenger pigeon and from it's break hung a string. Attached to the string was an express post envelope. This was unbelievable. In my own yard sat an express post messenger pigeon. I held out my hand and the beautiful pigeon dropped the envelope from it's stringed beak into my it. I put the envelope into my pocket and led the bird toward the house, away from its flock. I quickly went inside the house and retrieved a bowl of milk and a twoonie. I returned to the front steps of the house to find my beagle sitting and harmonizing with the Celine Dion bird; what a beautiful melody this two animals created. I tipped the pigeon with a twoonie and a bowl of milk, which it readily accepted. After finishing the milk, the pigeon crooned to his fellow mates and as fast as they had come they were off again. Flying through the sky, led by the majestic bird. I ran inside and opened the letter. It was the letter I needed in order to complete my registration for the occupational therapy exam. Thanks to a beautiful and kind pigeon, I now have everything I need. What a benevolent bird.
