Crow shares her friends something

What three of us wished during our three-day trip was that we would jump into the sea and hop and do everything we wanted to. But in reality, there were rains—from the day we got out of the house till the day we returned. During the trip, what we did was stay inside the tent, in an old stone house that humans abandoned, cover our bodies with blankets, and watch the sea waves and the dark sky.

However, Robert and I learned a new thing from Crow. She told us about her family. She didn’t tell us in detail, just some short clips of her background. What I was so interested in was when her father told her to have her own place without telling anyone in this life.

“Why did your father tell you to do it?” Robert asked.

“It’s because of my great-grandfather’s experience,” Crow said. 

“Can you tell us?” I said.

“Well,” Crow wagged her head, “my great-grandfather was honest to his crows. He shared with the group everything he knew or did. He even told them about a place he made to hide if he encountered a danger. One day when he was trying to take a piece of meat from a yard, the human threw a stick at him, and he got wounded. He flew to stay in his secret place. While he was curing his wound, a wolf appeared. My great-grandfather struggled very hard to run out of the clutch of the wolf. He wondered how the wolf could find that place because it was so mysterious. Then he remembered he had shared it with his group. After he got well, he searched, and then he found out that there were a few crows in the group; some didn’t like him, and some liked him, but they liked to talk; these two kinds told about his secret place to other groups, and the news was spread till it reached the ears of the wolf. After that experience, my great-grandfather didn’t share all of his information, especially things that were related to safety. And he taught his next generations about it.”

“It means you have your own place where you can go when you meet a danger, don’t you?” Robert asked.

Crow nodded.

“You don’t tell anyone, do you?” I said.

“On the earth, only I know where it is,” Crow claimed.

Robert and I wagged our heads. 

Pig wants to travel

It was evening. Robert lay on the ground, Crow stayed on the table, and I sat in the chair. We didn’t talk about anything, just relaxed.

Then Crow said, “How long do we have to stay in this position?” 

“I don’t know,” Robert said. “Ask Pig.” 

Crow turned to me, and before she asked, I stated, “I’m thinking of travel. Does anyone have any idea of where we should go?” 

“Three of us?” Robert asked.

I nodded.

“Well, let’s go to the sea,” Robert said with a big smile.

“What about you, Crow?” I asked.

“Sea is okay for me,” Crow said.

“Deal. We go to the sea. After tomorrow.”

The two hopped with joy.

Pig is struggling

It has been a few days. I didn’t go to the garden yet. I sat in a chair with my laptop in front.

Robert was discussing with Crow. They looked at me a few times, and then they came to me.

“Hey, we want to ask you something,” Robert said.

“What’s it?” I said.

“Do you quit gardening?” Crow asked.

“Who said?”

“No one said. It’s our opinion because we don’t see you doing anything,” Robert said.

“I am solving my online job issue,” I explained. “I will do it after I solve this.” 

“I see.” Crow nodded. “What is your problem?” 

“Because my video channel doesn’t get many views, the website wants to close my money account. I’m trying to make it work before the end of this month.” 

“What is your account?” 

“I can’t say, but you can see my link if you click on the photo.”

What is happening to pig

Robert came to lay on the ground next to my chair. Crow didn’t join us; she was still sleeping.

It was a cool night. In general I would drink warm tea, but tonight I drank normal water in a glass.

“What are you thinking?” Robert asked.

“Nothing,” I said.

“I feel you are weird these days.”

I looked at him, “Why do you think that?”

Robert looked at me, “You stopped gardening, you partied.”

“I just want to enjoy my life while I can.”

“Why?”

I held the glass and watched the fireflies that were flying before my gate. “What has happened in the world makes me lose interest in doing anything,” I said.

“What about online job? You quit too?”

“I don’t know yet. My ideas and styles were copied. I’m bored of encountering same same situation. I want to take a break to think about what I will do next.”

At that time, the snoring of crow reached our ears. And without waiting, our mouths yawned and immediately we said goodbye and went to our own beds. 

Because pig and friends seem lose from this world

Today, cow, duck and twin pigs came to my house. They wanted to check because they didn’t hear or see I, Robert and crow for many weeks.

At first they just stood outside and looked for us in the garden. When they saw we were not in the garden, they called, “Pig, are you at home?”

No reply. They called again, “Anyone at home?”

Still we didn’t reply. Because we were sleeping. Last night we had a party; we just climbed the bed at 5am.

 

Pig is learning making stopmotion animation

 

“Pig,” crow said, “I heard the giant countries will have a discussion over the tariff.”

“Then?” I said.

“It will make a better thing coming out, won’t it?”

I shook my head, “I don’t know and I don’t want to care.”

“Why?” Robert asked.

“There is nothing better than we can stand by our own,” I stated. “Though thing will be better, no one can guarantee it won’t turn bad in the future. So, I don’t want to care about anything. I just want to make our business’s roots strong, then we can stand, at least we can serve our stomach even if the world is in crisis.”

“You’re right,” Robert wagged his head. 

“So what is your plan?” Crow asked.

“I am learning how to make a stopmotion animation,” I told.

“What is its benefit?”

“I am planning to use it to be an online advertising tool to promote my business and to earn money online as well.”

Robert and crow raised their thumbs, “Good idea.”

Pig doesn’t care about trade war between the giant countries

“Pig,” the crow said when she arrived in my garden, “I heard US and China are putting tariffs on each other. Does it affect your or our business?”

“Why do you care?” I said.

“You don’t care.”

I shook my head.

“Why?”

Robert came near, “Right, why?”

“If I care,  will they stop?”

Both of them shook their heads.

“Correct.” I raised my thumb. “So why should I care? What I need to do right now is to find a way to keep my business and our business safe.”

They nodded, “You’re right.”
