The Egg – day 1
This morning we opened the bedroom window and raised the shutter only to find a small, whitish egg lying in one of the flower boxes. Was it always there, asked Julie. No, I said, but whose is it?
We didn’t have to look in the book of birds to find out. Not too long after, we saw a pidgeon sitting on the egg. Pidgeons require 18 days to hatch an egg. Usually there are to eggs, only one egg is a bad sign. I suppose being too lazy to make a nest is a bad sign too.
What will become of this egg? I didn’t say it out loud but just between you and me, I think it will never hatch.
