Theme # 73: Warn


It was a brilliant day, and the sun was hot over his head. Crookshanks eyed it a bit, then trotted into the grounds. In the distance, the lake rippled in clear, blue waves, and students ate by its edge. The cat took a few, quick steps towards a bird that twittered not too far off - and the bird flew off. A little disappointed, Crookshanks curled up.

He was unhappy at how hasty he had acted. If only he had been slower, quieter -- then the pretty bird would not have been warned, and might have been in his tummy, right now.
