Claire and Randall Nathan were sitting on their deck, having breakfast, feeling the morning air, hearing the morning sounds.

“It must be so hard to be a crow,” she said, “since the other birds have such pretty voices. That must be why they caw so loudly and so often, trying to drown out the other birds, so they don’t have to know how ugly they sound.”

“You’ve been watching too many politicians on TV,” said Randall.
