Maybe, if I had tried, I could've gotten the apple. But I'm too small and frail I would've only been able to move the apple a few inches. Yet that young boy easily managed to take it in one hand and eat it to his own enjoyment.
He had certainly earned it. Leaving his home months ago without letting anyone know where he was headed to. Ignoring all who tried to help him or asked for a bit of help from him. He stole and hurt others for his own survival. He had seen me various times and tried to shoot me with his makeshift bow and arrow but always failed.
Being honest, I don't blame that young boy for trying to kill me. One has to survive one way or another in this world. However, I believe being cruel to others isn't always the best way to survive. It certainly is a way, just not my kind of way.
But lets go back to this boy who now seems to be suffering from all kinds of aches for eating a black apple many warned him not to eat.
Maybe, if I had tried, I could have poked him in the arm or a leg, distracting him from his journey. I could have possibly even taken a turd on the apple to make it seem unsavory. I could've also asked others to come and save him.
In the end, I did nothing for he is just a boy and I am only a bird.
