OUT OF THE BLUE (Spring Fling Kidlit Contest)
Chickadee chuckled. “Come play air-tag!”
Robin sang, “No.”
Benny Bee buzzed by, somersaulting, ruffling Robin’s downy feathers.
“Bet ya can’t do that!”
“Show off!”
Bee twirled again…
Bang! Into a branch. “Buzzzz! Bzz! Bzz! Help!”
A black and yellow dot spiraled out of the blue sky, past Robin’s nest.
Without thinking, Robin dove and darted, flapped and floated. With Bee on her back, she landed on a cherry blossom carpet.
Bee buzzed a soft “Thank you.”
Robin waved her wing. “No problem.”
Chickadee chirped, “Now are you ready for air-tag?”
Robin sang, “Yes.” She tossed her shell to the ground. It was her time to fly.
