   Boredom story I wrote for post on Gaia...Take one
The Starfish and the Eagle:

Hm.. I wonder wonder wonder....

What a starfish would say to an eagle asking...

"Hello eagle, how does the wind feel today?" The starfish asked from it's place under the water.

"It's quite nice why don't you come feel for your self." The Eagle grinned widely.

"Dear eagle you should know I will become dry and brittle if I shall do that. And you may eat me." The starfish said giving a strange look at the bird.

"Dear starfish, You underestimate me. I am a sweet kind herbivore animal. I don't believe in killing, even though my brothers and sisters do. I am the one nice eagle you shall meet." The Eagle smiled at the tiny starfish that ws staring at him from the water.

"I guess for today I shall think, but you must first do three tasks for me Mr. Eagle." The Starfish glared in doubt.

"Oh I see Little starfish. What shall These tasks be?" The eagle had such a curiousity tone.

"You must first eat this pile of seaweed that was made to be my dinner for tongiht. Don't worry there is plenty for me and I love to share my food with others." The Starfish smiled and laided the plate on and open rock and plobbed back into the sea waiting and waiting the Eagle.

"Easy as pie." Gulped the nervous Eagle. Though he did swallow it all without makes a funny face in the process. "Now dear Starfish what is next on the list?"

"My, my Eagle I am pround, Now can you hold a butterfly in your mouth with only a small hole of air made from your beak, and promise not to eat the butterfly for five minutes then let it out of your mouth." The Starfished smiled at him.

"I can do that easily. I love butterflies!" The eagle smirked. He then grabbed a butterfly and place it carefully onto his tongue with only a small opening of air for the butterfly.

5 minutes later...

The Eagle carefully let the butterfly glide out of his mouth. It flew onto a near by tree to dry off from some of the moisture that clung to it.
"See, see I told you I am a nice Eagle." The eagle smiled in triumph.

"My, my Eagle you are briliant. Now for last task you have to watch my child for an hour and make sure he gets plenty of water and some food. ANd if he is swallowed or hurt in the process I will surely get the whales to eat you." The Starfish warned.

"This will be easy." The Eagle said Picking up a large leaf full of water, then grabing the tinier starfish and placed him inside the leaf. "I will make sure he will be safe and sound, Just observe and you shall see." The Eagle became to glote. "I am wonderful with little ones."

Half an Hour goes by...

'I can't stand this. I am so hungry and this Starfish's mind games are annoying me. Just another half an hour. I can do it.' the Eagle said in his mind to himself.

Another Half an hour later...

"Look Ms. Starfish you son is fine and asleep now now." The eagle said smilling to the Starfish and handing the leaf of water to her.

"I am proud of you Eagle and sorry for my doubt of you." The starfish Happily crawled out from the water to feel the drying wind. "It feels nice at first but I seem to be drying out already." The starfish said Looking up to the Eagle.

Let me help you." Th eagle grinned evily. The starfish saw and tried to jump in the water but it was to late. The eagle had her in his mouth. The eagle chomped then swallowed. The son saw this and swam away for revenge. The eagle laughed in triumph and began to hover around the ocean for the sea urchin to digest.

Though the eagle didn't notice the big shadow under him and a small one. It was the Son of the Starfish. He had told teh whale what had happened and was always told to go to him if someone hurt him or his mother. The eagle didn't see what was coming next. The whale jumped up and swallowed the eagle whole.

The moral:
Don't trust anything taht you know will eat you and is bad, even though it say it changes. Most likely they are hungry and want to eat you for dinner.
