NOT THE USUAL SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER BUT A GOOSE GAVE CHASE…

 This is a story I mentioned before but I thought it would be fun to tell it again in pictures. This happened to me 70 years ago.

A picnic with my Aunty Dorothy and cousins, a very hungry child, a white goose chasing me. I remember screaming and running as fast as the wind with my Aunty’s voice ringing in my ears, “Drop the sandwich, drop the sandwich!”  

There she goes, silly girl, feeling the pain as the goose nipped the back of her leg, but eventually she threw her sandwich into the lake, upon which the goose gave up the chase and dived in after it. My Aunty gave me a wise piece of advice when I regained my composure, how little girls should immediately drop their sandwich when a goose takes an interest in it.  

A good lesson learned! This memory is as vivid to me as if it happened yesterday. So, if you are holding a sandwich when a goose gives chase, you know what to do!
Thanks for visiting and 
I hope your day is a great one.
