They are nearly grown now, came up to me during our picnic, to ask why Bobby pecked Daisy at the duck pond in University. What was Mrs. swan teaching them about Geometry?
The ducks in Lake Norman do not participate in higher education, as a rule. Food is so bountiful there that it is not necessary for them to engage their minds in acquiring it.
The Sparrows and the wrens were showing off how they are so well educated that they are able to calculate rates so precisely that a diamond needle is not safe hovering over the water admiring his reflection, even for a moment.
The ducks in Lake Norman stated that it doesn't take higher education for that.
They refuse to believe that those ",city slicker" University area geese and gander know more about hunting than they do. It is a real, if not humorous, source of contention between them. "3R's is all you need" Dad duck said. "Anything more than that is just pride and excess.
They read my periodicals, but they never saw the need for a bird to get as far as, lets say...Louis the trumpeter.
"Music, Geometry, the Sciences, of how people think is just filling a bird mind with wild notions." They really think that?
Now we see through a glass darkly
