The Wounded Falcon

Targeted at 8-12 y.o

“Okay girl, let’s go,” you whisper to your falcon, Huntress. You emit her learned ‘take-off-and-hunt’ whistle, gently thrust your arm skyward and she complies. She soars into the air and begins to circle the lake, her sharp eyes scanning the clear water for a quarry.

Your father has sent you away with Huntress to search for some fish for tea. Your falcon is an accomplished and well-trained bird of prey. You normally use her to capture fish, rabbits and sometimes pigeons.

Watching her from the lake edge for a couple of minutes, it appears that she has not seen a likely kill. You decide that you will direct her to a different section of the lake to continue the hunt.

If you want to follow the lake edge around to the north, turn to page -2-

If you want to follow the lake edge around to the south, turn to page -3-

P.S. If you want to read the entire story (it's 28 pages long; too much to place here) you can visit my website and/or blogsite.
