Little Big Meetings

Today I would like to talk about this great little meeting that I had during my daily walk.

Since I was sick I have started walking every day (at the beginning I had to do it to get used to walking again, given the long hospital stay and the ear problems and therefore the balance). I always take walks if I’m in the countryside, or walks in the center of Florence, tours around London …

in short, I walk. And who do I meet today ???? this little bird, which in the rest of the story will be named as “little one” or “volatile”.

Now I tell it well, as in any sordamaldestra adventure.

I was walking and I see this little boy flitting in the middle of a country road, and hiding in the grass because he can’t really fly.

I approach him and look at him, he poor super scared hides even more among the twigs and stems and remains motionless. I stare at it and I see that it has a wing perhaps broken, without all the feathers and I think that maybe it could have escaped from the claws of a cat, or from a wheel of a car (better an animal, which does not pass any machines).

However, I am there that I think about what to do, like take him home and treat him. And then it seems to me to be Snow White with animals or Sleeping Beauty (two models not to be followed in the least, but this is another theory of mine on princesses (a special article will be needed even if I don’t remember having written it) and to be able to cure this volatile.

Then a flash … no but it could be Nemo … Well, he wasn’t lost, if I catch him maybe his mom or dad will look for him … and I’ll be the bad human being.

So I try to understand if he is really hurt … I approach and the little boy goes to me from the other side of the road … I start looking in the leaves and I see him. This is the moment I took the photo.

I document. I go to the LIPU website to try to understand what to do, how to behave …

I take courage and decide to take it. I get closer.

Nothing. Run away by flying. The classic sordamaldestra adventure, even if short, was still a great little meeting.
