“What a beautiful day and I really like my freedom flying up and down or resting on a shady tree enjoying my meaty worms for lunch.”

“Look. . . look at all these people stranded in their boxes, with waste gas coming out of their tails. How disgusting?  Those gases smell worse than rotting berries that I ate last night.”

“May be I can find some left over food instead of looking for berries and worms all day long. Let’s fly down and see what that clear jelly fish, with red and yellow stains taste like. It sure smells great from here.”How inconsiderate?”“ Oh, what is that Golden Arches sticking out in the middle of a plaza? And those boxes are all lining up waiting to pick up something that smells really good. But why do those people just dump the paper cardboard all over the parking lot?  

How inconsiderate?”
