The story of the swan brothers

by mizuki

It was at the start of Spring. Two brother swans swim accross the lake. They were hungry and bored, but remembered that there is a place on the lake, where they can have food and fun at the same time. They slowly approached the spot with not a single sound. They didn't talk. The brothers were right in front of the place with a small house (and caravan) when a group of three (and a dog) arrived.

The weather was warm and sunny, but the three people's mood was dark. It seemed to the swans that they were both angry and sleepy. They always had fun watching these people, and waiting for them to get food. So they stood there and watched.

First the man went into the house, followed by the girl (who seemed like an adult but she was just a nestling, they thought). The woman just froze there, and with eyes like lemons looked around. 'What a MESS!' she said, and as she said it, she headed to the house too.

The girl had her own place, the caravan near to the house. The swans saw her going in the caravan, and coming out with her face in red. She looked angry. She said things like 'gosh, spiders... DEAD spiders and all sort of insects!!' and 'what's in here??? it's all dirty!!' then with some puffs and poffs she started to clean up the place wearin a very unpleasant look on her face. Sometimes she said something like 'ugh' and 'argh'.

Later the man asked her if she wants a thing called tea, but the swans had no idea what tea was, so it wasn't that interesting for them.

Many people came that morning to see the place, that changed a lot in the last 2 weeks. And that seemed to make the girl angrier.

When around noon, the woman asked the girl if she was hungry, she got the answer 'YES!!!' with a rumble sound around her stomach. They ate, but didn't give food to the swans. They got a little mad at the human, but waited patiently.

After they filled their stomach with food the girl seemed more happier and showed the now cleaned up caravan to the woman. She even smiled. 'Food can make you happy' the older swan thought.

With their belly full, they got tired and sleepy, so the woman went down the beach to sunbath a little. The man was kind enough to give the brothers bread (which they really liked) then left the beach.

The girl followed the mother with a green thing in her hand (The book of Oracle - database handbook). She stared at it for about half an hour, but she did it so hard, the younger swan thought maybe she wants to set it in fire. Soon after that, the girl gave up, as the thing didn't catch fire, and left the beach.

Watching the woman sunbathing didn't seem like an interesting stuff, so the brothers decided to sleep in front of the house in the water. They dreamed about a misterious thing called 'tea'.

The End

And yeah.. that was the story of my Saturday, 11th of April, 2009. The caravan was soooooo dirty inside... I haven't been here since last summer. On top of that it was really hot inside, I felt like I'm in a sauna. I'm sitting in the caravan right now, it's really sunny out there and warm, but I opened every window on it, so that the breeze can come in too :) 'well 'ello there little breeze'. Sea Breeze (R)

I should practice Oracle right now, but this story from the swans' point of view didn't let me do it for an hour now, i just had to write it :D

The caravan is clean now, i removed the dead insects and the dust. I really freaked out this morning, because you know... you see the dirt inside and think that you HAVE TO sleep in this caravan at night.... it just made me upset. Dad didn't tell me it was this dirty inside when we left home. After 10 minutes of cleaning I said I wanna go home, because it's just impossible to concentrate at a dirty place right? And i have to study a lot this weekend. 

Btw, the swan brothers are still sleeping in front of the house :D they are really sweet :) They were chatting before, with sounds like 'brrrrr' and 'mrrrrr' and 'grrrrr'. I wonder how many people can say about themselves that they have pet swans :DD  

And I petted a lizard today... she didn't really liked it, but I always see lizards as miniature dragons ^^, so I always try to catch them here... and to I have to tell you, I'm sometimes lucky enough when they let me catch them :D

So this is the end of this post, hope you didn't get bored. :)
