SUMMER FUN CONTEST #3 - SHORT STORY

Wow! What was this thing?! She sat in a tree, gazing at this strange thing. It looked like a huge nest! No, it looked like a giant wooden human contraption. Yes, that was it. This was a human tree-nest. The foolish raven gave a proud bob of her head, happy to have named this unknown device. The shadowy bird opened her proud wings and pushed off to get a better look at this tree-nest. There was a hole in the side that was perfect a perfect perch for the bird. It would be an easy landing. Just swoop down and throw out her feet. Except, she didn't take in to account the wooden sides and her wings. A few moments of undignified squawking and panicked flapping later, she was on the edge of the opening. Now, her attention turned to the inside of the tree-nest.

Her beady eyes got wide with delight as she beheld a beautiful set of stones strung together. It had to be her's! The raven dove for the object, claws and beak reaching for it madly. It was her's! Then, she was out, soaring off to her nest with her stolen treasure, the tree-nest already forgotten.

Exactly 200! Yay!
