Once upon a time there was a little girl who lived
outdoors with her mother, father, and little brother. Everyday they wondered what they would
eat. It was very cold at night, and very
hot in the day time. The family was without a home. They had no money to buy
food, or clothing. There was a family of geese always around them in the park. One
night the little girl said to her mother, Mommy does people pass by us, and see
us living outdoors care. The little girl asked, why they won’t do something to
help us mommy. The mother looked down at her little daughter and said, honey,
do you see those families of geese over there, you see how they stay together,
and walk in groups everywhere they go. Those geese are more human then humans
themselves, they have more passion then some people when it comes to people
caring whether we sleep or eat everyday. Honey you see, one day your father and
I had a home. We brought you and your brother into the world when we had a beautiful
big three story house with three and a half bathrooms. There was a big back
yard with a pool and a swing. Oh how we use to have so much fun entertaining
and having cookouts with our friends. You had your own room and your brother
too. Your father and I use to sing you to sleep and you always needed the light
on. Why mom, was I afraid of the dark. Well yes, kind of honey. Now, you sleep
in the heart of the darkness without protection don’t you sweetie. Well that doesn't mean that your father and I won’t keep you safe, it just means that
your fear of the dark has swallowed us all up into it. The good thing about you
being in the darkness now is we are all swallowed into it together. We even got
an adopted family of geese that stay around us all the time helping to protest
us. We use to have two cars and a
refrigerator full of food. We even had all the ice cream you could ever want.
Then one day your father lost his job, because they were losing money at the
factory paying their employees. They let some of the workers go, and your
father was one of the first to let go. Why mommy, didn't they know that daddy
had two children that he had to provide for, the little girl said? Mommy don’t
the president know that we live outside? I don’t know, sweet heart her mother
said, I don’t know what is happening to us as a people, but I don’t think that
we are big enough for the president to know about where we are living. But moms,
if the president knew that there were two children living on the street wouldn't he order his policeman to help us? Well sweetie, I would assume so,
but in the real world we must try to fend for ourselves in order to survive
this. Like the geese they don’t have a
house either, or food stored up inside of a refrigerator, but God provides for
them everyday. You know sweetheart the thing I think that helps those geese
survive everyday is the fact that they stay together and get good exercise
everyday, because they walk in group showing protection, support, and loyalty
to one another. The little girl laid her head on the lap of her mother as they
set on the park bench, and her mother begin to sing to her as she drifted off
to sleep. The Little girl was sound a sleep, her mother looked down at her
daughter with tears in her eyes and looked back up at the family of geese in
the distance and said, someday the geese family will see that we need help and
let us join their family group walks. Then the mother went to sleep herself
while the father watched as his family slept. The little girl’s father wanted
to keep his family safe, so he stayed awake. Time past and the father fell
asleep unknowingly, but little did the family know the geese family would not
leave their side they watch over them like they were part of their own geese
family. The morning came and the little girl was the first to awake, she looked
around with an intense look of alertness on her face to see if her family was
okay after they slept all night. She
looked around with a sigh of relief knowing that everyone was safe. Then a miracle
happened right before her eyes. One of the geese that she and her mother had seen
the night before was giving birth to a baby geese right in front of her. The little girl’s eyes got so big that she
forgot that she hadn't eaten breakfast and was hungry when she had awakened
earlier. She froze and marveled at the fact that she was watching geese give
birth, and that she was witnessing it. Seeing the geese give birth showed her a
picture inside her own head of her mother and father closely hovering around
her being born in the hospital. She felt feeling of warmth and safety being
with both her parents, they protected her. She thought inside her head that the baby
geese must be feeling this warmth that she had felt in the vision of her
parents giving birth to her. I think the geese and the little girl forgot that
they were both homeless at this point of my story. Just then the Mother awakens
to see the birth as it unfolded. She said to her little daughter, Shy, Shy,
keep quite, don’t move or make noise, or we will scare her and she might hurt
the baby if she’s afraid and gets up and run away. The little girl never heard
a word her mother said she was in such arc of the sight of the birth taken
place. The mother knew that her daughter didn't hear her because she never
looked back at her. The mother whispered honey did you hear me. There was no
answer. The mother took a closer look at the little girl and saw that there
were tears running down her daughters face. The mother was so touched by seeing
her little girls crying that she begin to cry. While all this was taken place
the groups of other geese family was all around the mother giving birth. They
surrounded her to protect her and her baby from any potential danger. While the
little girl and her mother was watching and crying they so caught up in the
moment of the birth that they never noticed that the father and the littler
brother was also crying and staring at this little miracle taking place in front of them, too . Everyone was so
in tuned to what was happening that they never notice the growled of people
that was building up around them. This was such an emotion moment that one of
the bystanders in the growled notified Channel Five, Seven and Nine News within
minutes. The whole event was being filmed as it unfolded before them. Watching
this miracle was one of the bountifulness’ of the sight. Any one could see how nature worked well
together with it’s habitats in any surrounding with the whole homeless family
standing around the geese crying at the sight of the beauty of nature. That
evening the geese was up and waking around. The homeless family watch as
everyone walked away even the geese walked away with the whole pack of them
together around the new mother and her baby for protection. All was quiet now,
and the little girl asked her mother, mom what you think will happen to the
geese now that they have a new baby. The little girl’s mother said, they will
be a bigger family now. The geese will stay with each other until they grow
apart and give birth to enough geese to start another group of geese that form
a walking pack. In the mean time the whole pack of geese will continue to stay
together in a pack walking as a group everywhere they go. Honey, did you know
that the humans even honor the geese when they walk across the street in packs.
The cars stop for them to pass. That’s a lot of power when numbers come
together and protest their point this earn them respect. If we could get other humans to care enough
by walking together in large numbers someone will listen and this is a way to
change our human situations, sweetheart. People like us and those who care must
form groups to show their strength in numbers, and walking in a peaceful
protect wouldn’t hurt our cause either. Later that night little did the family know
that the growled of people were concerned for them when the news showed the
world a replay of their family all standing around the geese given birth, and
their family all crying on the news. People called the news stations after seeing
their family wanting to know where they could give a donation. People wanted to help after such a moving
sight took place with the homeless family and the geese. Everyone wanted to
help this family get a home to live in. Everyone around world that night watched but
they family had no idea of what everyone had seen. A police man came to the park and ask the
family where they living in the park. They were afraid that the officer was
going to make them leave, wondering where they would go then. This park was
their home and safe place. Even the geese watch over them as there own. The
officer said Maim, Sir I am going to have to take you and your family to the
station. The officer said, now I don’t want no trouble just come along
peacefully. So the family went with the officer to the station. When they got
to the station they were told that someone paid for them to stay in a hotel for
the night, and they would get up to a big breakfast before they meet with the
person who donated the hotel to them. The family mumble among themselves in
wonder as to who, what, was happening, and why. They decided not to worry and
look a gift horse in the mouth, but just to take the gift and enjoyed it
because they didn't know how long it was going to last. The next day they family got out of bed late
in the morning very hungry and well rested. They went to the hotel restaurant
where there was a big breakfast spread out just for them. The little girl and
her brother said, the same time, this is all ours Mom, Dad, and the parents
said, I guess so, lets eat, don’t ask question, lets eat. They ate until their
stomachs were full and bloated. The family enjoyed their meal. An escort came and told them that they will be
going shopping for some clothes and shoes; because someone very important wants
to meet with them later in the day. The family was so excited that they just
giggle and whispered among one another. When
they got back to the hotel from shopping the family was instructed to go take a
bath and put on their new clothes. They didn't quite no what was going on, and
they were also puzzled as to what changes were they in for after today. The little girl thought to herself, all this
because a baby geese was born. Little did the little girl know that the geese
family got together and planed to make the people help them by walking in big
number as geese family group. They knew that they would be seen because of the
way the cars respected them when they walked across the street together. The geese
were determined to get help for the family, but they never knew it was all
planned this way by their geese friends. The baby being born in front of all
the people was a trap to get the attention to the homeless family to help them
and it worked. Well another escort came
to the room to get the family and bring them to a ball room in that same hotel.
When they walked through the hotel hallway to get to the ballroom there were
wall to wall people clapping and yelling yah! Yah! The family was more puzzled
now then ever. When they got to the ballroom there were more people, thousands
of them. Just when they were escorted into the room the president stepped up to
the family and said, I would like to shake your hands Maim, Sir, and your
little ones here. I saw your story on the television, and there were so many
people pouring out money to help you, and you family. I was so moved to do something myself that I
sent for your family, because I wanted to be the first one to do something
about your situation. I had you put up in the hotel for the night with all the
food you could ever eat available to your family. The father was crying so hard
the one of the secret service men begin to hold him as he was overcome with
emotions. The president said, when I saw that you were homeless, watching your
whole family crying on television as the geese gave birth, while the other geese
stood around your and the birth like armed guards, it was a picture
unforgettable. It was an overwhelming moment for the world to see that when their
fellow citizens are in need, or troubled we can all pull together like the
geese, support one another. The little
girl looked up at her mother with tears in her eyes and said, see mom I told
you that the president cares about people who are homeless with little kids,
see I told you the little girl said. The Mother looked at her husband and asked,
do you think the geese walk did lead to all this on purpose for us. The husband
said It’s possible honey, it’s possible, because it them that got us all this
attention, so maybe so they could have walked us into our miracle. Salvation
has come to us room our fellow human being who really cares and wanted to make
a different where they could. The little girls said, Mom, dad, I believe in the
geese. I believe in the human compassion, but after today, I also believe in
our president. The miracle that took place today by our fellow human beings
brought a feeling of sympathy and safety to us. We all made a difference by
pulling together in numbers and now we have a home again. The little girl sensed that the geese were
around them near by the hotel. She ran to find a window to see if she was
right. When she couldn't find a window the little girl ran out the hotels big
double motor doors. Behold, there were about a hundred geese surrounding the
hotel, marching in numbers around the hotel in support of their fellow friends
from the park. The little girl waved at the geese and yelled fair well my
fellow geese family, fair well and a tear fail from her left eye watching the
geese all walk away in large numbers.
The end
