"The Fischer from the Top Branch" from By Thistle By Thimble
This week's Free Story comes from the "By Thistle By Thimble" original audio story collection.
It's called "The Fischer from the Top Branch".
A water hole in the Serengeti plains needs a leader
who will represent all creatures who need water.
So - a ‘Prefect’ is elected every wet season to
monitor the water and make sure everyone is served.
But choosing the ‘Prefect’ is often contentious.
This year the choice is between a Fischer’s Lovebird
and a Leopard - and the election is emotional,
ridden with conflict and indeed, personal.
In the end the Lovebird is elected - but she immediately
sees the need for healing - the need for the creatures
to unite again. Luckily, she flies to the top branch of
a nearby acacia tree and is able to see the land and
all its creatures together. And that image helps her
know what to do.hat if the children dressed as wizards,
tigers, scarecrows, and baseball players actually
became wizards, tigers, scarecrows, and baseball players?
