Fred’s Decision

Fred put down the book he was reading and looked out of the window at the sports car
in his yard.  It was worth a lot of money. He had four more in the big shed. Then he
smiled to himself and nodded. He had decided.

He didn’t tell anyone what he was doing but we all knew he was up to ‘something’.
He spent a lot of time on the phone and even more time making sure that the fence
around his yard was in good order.

Then one day he arrived home with two large geese on the back of a truck. He later
told me that he had learned of how, one night long ago, the ancient city of Rome had
been in danger from invaders. The city’s greece had made such a noise when they heard
the enemy coming, that the sleeping people had woken and fought them off.

Fred’s geese spent their days at the back of the yard, and had the run of the whole
place at night. Fred said they were cheaper than dogs or an ordinary alarm system.
He liked having them around and they were easy to manage. If anyone came near,
the geese would make a lot of noise honking and hissing. Fred always knew if there
was anyone around who shouldn’t be there.
