Hello, Cosmos Crow here. I want to tell you a story that was told to me during my last vacation over in Europe. As some of you may know, as a crow I have to work hard most of the year, so I like to take an occasional vacation.
This year, I caught the Trade Winds and was able to get across the Atlantic Ocean without much trouble. Unfortunately, crows don’t have maps and we can end up in some pretty difficult places, like swamps and deserts. Well, this time I ended up in a very strange place and that is where the story begins.
I had been traveling for almost a week and was very tired.
I flew well into the night to find someplace to stop.
I thought it was strange that in this dark countryside there were no trees for me to land in. But I did not think too much about it at the time. Finally, around midnight I came upon what looked like an old ruined castle. I landed on what remained of the roof and immediately fell fast asleep.
When I woke up the next morning the sun was bright and high in the sky. I knew the growling in my stomach meant that it was lunch time. I looked around for a possible snack and almost fell off the roof. As far as you could see, in all directions, there was nothing. No houses, people, animals, trees or anything else. Nothing except for some weeds and not many of them.
