Our door in the inner city is constantly knocked on。 our previous door in the suburbs rarely so. Sam has a fulltime job and cannot spend his days answering requests to fix leaking baths or carry cash to the bank. Sam opened the door and it was Mervin. There39。s a bird on the second floor, he said. It39。s in trouble. Sam followed Mervin upstairs. Mervin pointed and turned to let Sam look. It was a pigeon, the most mon of all birds, the bird most likely to foul (弄臟) your newly washed car. And it wasn39。t flying away. It was stamping in circles.

It could have been sheltering in a wet nest of its own waste, which had then dried on its foot, preventing it from flying away. The pigeon moved in a few more circles. Sam bent to take another look. Mervin said, All right, then. and walked away. Why does everyone think you must solve the problems around here? I said to Sam when he returned with his story. It39。s a bird. Just leave it on the stairs, and let nature take its course. Sam didn39。t agree. Then he went to the garage and emptied the cardboard box containing our imported camping mats.
