A pigeon became enthralled when a bird-like design took to the skies. Sitting on the plane’s wing, the pigeon found himself in snow-capped New Zealand, some twenty hours later. It was the longest journey he had ever taken.
Ironically, hundreds of flightless penguins where there to greet him upon arrival.
Linda Nathaniel is a teacher from Sydney, Australia, who has had poems published in both Hemispheres and was once invited to the same function as Ben Stiller.
Someone must have super-glued his little feet to the airplane so he could hold on at 500+ MPH for those 20 hours. I gotta wonder if he had any feathers left after being in sub-zero temperatures for so long in the buffeting slipstream.
But, New Zealand is the land of movies where Hobbits, Wizards, Elves, Dwarfs and Goblins come to life, so maybe this pigeon is using the same script.
Loved this ‘Flight’ story. Cute is the word.
This is a clever story that encapsulates true imagination and wit. It’s a gem!
