Off The Wall...

“Hello,” he said in an overtly friendly manner. “Are you looking for someone to share your lunch with?” The unusually small crow seemed so sincere that I offered up a piece of my peanut butter and jelly sandwich. “I’m Larry,” he continued as he took the bite of sandwhich. “Thank you. I’m particularly fond of PB&J.” I couldn’t help but chuckle at the peanut butter that wound up on his beak. Larry’s big heart was showing as he cocked his head to the side. “What's so funny? Do you lunch here often? We could be regular lunch pals, you know.”
