One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- How a night owl tried to seduce me.

It was near marseille during the summer. i was in a great house lost in nature. As it was quite late and i did not want to sleep i decided to go outside in order to smoke a cigaret. i sat on a rocking chair and i rolled it. around me, there was the garden and outside it was a kind of south forest with tall and old trees. i could ear the wind wipping the leaves and also like a concert. it was full of owls singing; if you don't know how an owl sings, it's quite easy, there is only one music note, always the same, but the time between notes is the way they communicate. as i finished to roll, i lighted up my cig. after a while, i noticed that there were in fact two different notes, it was almost the same but one of the two was just a little bit higher. Then i get borred, so i choosed a note and started to sifle, trying to do it with owl's tempo in order to enter the concert. As you might guessed, a few seconds after i started, it was completly silencious.
however, i was still bored and maybe even more because the music stoped, so i kept on sifling, and a few minutes after, i heard a strange noise in the big trees in front of me. i stoped sifling and i tried to identify what it was but the house's lights were too weak to help me, i coul only see ten meeters far. i got a bit affraid (i might not say that..) but i started to sifle again, the same note i did, with the same tempo.
suddenly, near of the place i heard the weird sound, an owl note exploded in the silence (the note was a bit lower than mine). so i kept on and the owl did the same. we "spoke" like that during a while and then i heard again the strange noise and as it was getting closer, i saw two enormous wings fighting with the air and something like an owl's head comming to me, so i stoppend and i was like "what the hell should i do, it's comming straignt to me!" finally, the beast landed 2 meeters in front of me on the garden's ground, looking at me with it's enormous yellow eyes and it's turning head. we stayed like that 20 seconds (so looooong!) and it finaly goes into the forest.
i learnt later that it was the love season for owls and that the mucical note i did was the female one !
two weeks passed and i found an egg in my bed ( haha)

Teach, Learn, Share

yeah great! first, a class were we could learn how to speak, i mean not only speak but also listen; that would be the more precious thing somehow. then lets shake hasard's dice! nothing is sure, i can look like a great person in somone's eye however be an idiot in other's. well that's idiot thought, well, let's appear clever...
...hum...
i've got to pee.
