A Husband Pigeon (HP) and Wife Pigeon (WP) unaware of Life’s sweet
surprise in near future, casually nuzzling tea on a weekend evening.
WP: Darling!
HP: Yes, Honey!
WP: Shall we go on a vacation?
HP: No. It is not safe for our house.
WP: Why?
HP: There is no guarantee that our house would exist after our
return from the vacation.
WP: What?
HP: Yes, Honey! Our house would either be trespassed by other
Pigeon family or be demolished by government's municipality.
WP: Come on, darling! Don't be a pessimist.
HP: Have you forgotten our struggle to get
this scanty nest house? Top to it, we got it in the middle of the
city, amidst pollution and noisy tall buildings.
WP: Yes. Our old house was a paradise. We had it on a tree, a very
big nest and envied by all the pigeon community around.
HP: Yes, until you proposed the idea of vacation. We went to
Canada and when we came back home, there was no home. Everything got vanished.
If we wouldn't have gone on vacation that month, we would still be living in
the same great place.
WP: Hey, don't blame me! Except the home tragedy, didn't we have
an awesome time there?
Little Pigeon was overjoyed when he saw the snow for the first
time. It is rejuvenating to have a vacation once in a while.
HP: But I cannot afford another home loss.
WP: Okay forget about this house. How about temporary homes?
HP: What do you mean?
WP: Our dream home had already gone and I have no hope that we
will build another such mansion again. So, hmmm.....let's become
explorers. Let's travel and make the first nicest place our home until we find
next. We will travel, explore and enjoy. Forever.
HP: Are you mad? Little Pigeon's education will get disturbed with
this wacky idea of yours.
WP: Never! I promise you. There is a famous saying that goes
like “The world is a book and those who do not
travel read only one page.” He will get more
education on travel trips than in Pigeons school. I will start home
tuition for him.
HP: Hmmm.....(letting out a gust of air)
WP: Trust me! It will be the best thing we have ever done in our
life.
HP: Seems like I will have to build 10 houses per year.
WP: So what?
HP: Don't you see me? I am growing old. I cannot build that
many.
WP: Okay! I will do it. I always wanted to do it. I always wanted
to experiment with our interiors. I will do it.
HP: You are as stubborn as Guaiacwood!
WP: So is it a yes?
HP: Have you ever taken "No" for an answer?
And thus, the Pigeon family embarked on a lifetime journey and started
living the life to the fullest. After 3 years, at Glendale Narrows along the
Los Angeles River, Little Pigeon now speaks 5 languages and understands 10
languages. While the Wife Pigeon successfully runs her Interior designs line,
Husband Pigeon has become an affluent consultant.
nice one, I liked it.
