Illustration of This Morning's Surprise

This morning mom and I were walking out the door and there was a little bird in our stairwell! It chirped and flew right toward us! I was so excited I stood up to try and grab it in my mouth - I thought I could get a second breakfast like Ivy! Mom backed up into the apartment again really fast and made me come inside! We could still hear the birdie chirping and I was VERY excited! Then mom went back out into the stairwell without me! I could hear her moving around and talking to the bird. She opened a window, then yelled "He's out!" She came back in and said that the birdie bounced off of the window a few times and then finally flew out. Mom was very happy about it, except that when we backed into the apartment the doorknob hit her in the back. I say it serves her right for keeping me from my second breakfast! I'm on a raw diet anyway!
