As the dim sun was setting and the half-moon rising, a familiar sound echoed through the treacherous mountains. As Andean Condor got closer and closer, the 'hark' sound grew louder and louder. It was audible to the calm man now. He was sitting on some holy rocks with a cross behind him. Munching away at the small bits of his sandwich and smelling its fragrant aroma, he gladly watched the mountains whispering to each other and listened to the cool breeze running smoothly in the air.
Then, the bird swept from the jagged corners of the mountain cliffs and dived down towards him. Once it was metres away from the man, it changed what it was looking at. With huge-greedy eyes, it glanced at the sandwich in the hands. Swoosh! As quickly as light, it plummeted down, razor sharp claws fixed on its food and took hold of its meal. Raging, the man refused for his lunch to be taken from his own grasp as that sandwich cost him ten pounds, "Let go of my delicious sandwich! Filthy bird!
He tugged the food as hard as he could. He swung the sandwich round and round with the bird clutching on for its dear life. BOOM! In Christian faith, you should never be cruel to animals and the man felt guilty for his actions. He thought that the pesky bird deserved the knuckle sandwich though. At least, he had got his expensive lunch back! He sat down and continued munching his well-earned feast, while thinking about what had happened that day. How unusual of a bird to take his food.
