Once upon a time…

In the heart of the bustling city, beneath a rusty park bench, lived a pigeon named Percy. Each morning, Percy would watch the humans rush by, clutching their coffee cups and briefcases. One chilly day, a kind old man began visiting, always scattering crumbs for Percy. They formed a silent friendship, the man’s eyes twinkling with stories untold. One afternoon, the man didn’t come. Days turned into weeks. Percy waited, feeling the cold bite of absence. Then, one spring morning, a young woman arrived, scattering crumbs with the same gentle smile. Percy cooed softly, feeling the warmth of connection once more.
