The Geese

Then one day I noticed they were aligned to watch the cars on the street. They aren’t particularly good at even saving themselves from traffic. One day I rushed some to see them fly out of the way, and I had to brake hard, realizing they weren’t going to make it.
So one day I was in the park, and noticed them aligning to look at the road and along came a UPS truck. It stopped and the driver carried out a stack of packages, set it on the curb and gestured for the head goose to sign. Each goose in the gaggle that was waiting tore open a package with its bill and took out a waterproof iPad, and waddled down to the riverbank and dropped it to the bottom. It took a week before someone cleaned up all the trash, and people were grumbling “typical …,” but the geese were happily iPadding away underwater.
