Oom Leeuw was the most dangerous animal in the wild. For when he wanted to hunt, he would spread his wing and flap, flap flap, until he was airborne, there nothing could escape him. He would fly around until he found his prey and then this terrifying lion would close his wings, extend his claws and boom, his prey was dead. ]]> 2017-07-14 03:20:00 UTC https://padlet.com/lmahlabe/g9exs7soobta/wish/178688699 lmahlabe https://padlet.com/lmahlabe/g9exs7soobta/wish/178688973 We were special because we were not the common black crows most animals think of, we were white crows. We were brought to the him as babies, like all the white crows before us and raised to keep keen eye on the lion’s prize. There were only ever two of us called to duty at a time and we would serve until we died. When there was a death, oldest crow would be called upon to fill the vacancy. ]]> 2017-07-14 03:23:08 UTC https://padlet.com/lmahlabe/g9exs7soobta/wish/178688973 lmahlabe https://padlet.com/lmahlabe/g9exs7soobta/wish/178898784 we rushed back home. Shortly after we returned Oom Leeuw walks in and asks “what have you done to my wings?” I respond “While you were away someone came, tricked us and broke all the bones.” “It is your duty to watch them. It is your fault that they are broken, and to punish you I am going to bite your stupid white heads off.” ]]> 2017-07-17 23:24:42 UTC https://padlet.com/lmahlabe/g9exs7soobta/wish/178898784 lmahlabe https://padlet.com/lmahlabe/g9exs7soobta/wish/178898787 Guarding the bones was our duty, we were not only crows, we were also the Zulu. It has been twenty moons since I have joined my brother guarding the lion’s bones, and like most before me I grow tired of this duty.]]> 2017-07-17 23:24:42 UTC https://padlet.com/lmahlabe/g9exs7soobta/wish/178898787 lmahlabe https://padlet.com/lmahlabe/g9exs7soobta/wish/178909969 but some animals say he is sly. Brother Bullfrog looks to us and says “you must be tired of sitting!You fly away a little and stretch your wings, I will sit here and look after the bones.” After 20 moons this duty has started to ware me down, so my brother and I look around. Oom Leeuw is not here, now is our chance to go fly. “Cr-r-raw, cr-r-raw! Ok brother we will be right back.” “Don’t rush back, stay out as long as you desire, I will take care of the bones.”]]> 2017-07-18 01:45:36 UTC https://padlet.com/lmahlabe/g9exs7soobta/wish/178909969 lmahlabe https://padlet.com/lmahlabe/g9exs7soobta/wish/178910174 This was the sky over Dallas today and I think it would be a good scene for the crows to fly away in. ]]> 2017-07-18 01:48:12 UTC https://padlet.com/lmahlabe/g9exs7soobta/wish/178910174 lmahlabe https://padlet.com/lmahlabe/g9exs7soobta/wish/178911090 that Oom Leeuw tried to get Brother Bullfrog but just as he had done to us, he escaped below the water. Oom Leeuw was still dangerous but he no longer was no longer the king of land and air, so we crow not having a duty any more spoke less and less. Theses day we only say “Craw, craw” but at least we are free.]]> 2017-07-18 01:56:10 UTC https://padlet.com/lmahlabe/g9exs7soobta/wish/178911090 lmahlabe https://padlet.com/lmahlabe/g9exs7soobta/wish/178911101 and we fly out of reach. He can no longer fly we realize. “Ha, Ha, Ha you cannot reach us. You can no longer fly can you?” And off we go. Oom Leeuw can no longer hurt us, or any other flying creature. ]]> 2017-07-18 01:56:21 UTC https://padlet.com/lmahlabe/g9exs7soobta/wish/178911101 lmahlabe https://padlet.com/lmahlabe/g9exs7soobta/wish/178911122 while the Oom Leeuw was out on a hunt Brother Bullfrog came along to see us. “Why do you sit here all day” he asks us. I look at the frog and answer as I have been trained to do “we sit here to look after the bones for Oom Leeuw.” ]]> 2017-07-18 01:56:31 UTC https://padlet.com/lmahlabe/g9exs7soobta/wish/178911122 lmahlabe https://padlet.com/lmahlabe/g9exs7soobta/wish/178911130 He seemed to be afraid that the bones of his prey would be broken. No animal knew why and no animal would dare to ask. Oom Leeuw would keep all his bones in his home among the rocks. ]]> 2017-07-18 01:56:35 UTC https://padlet.com/lmahlabe/g9exs7soobta/wish/178911130 lmahlabe https://padlet.com/lmahlabe/g9exs7soobta/wish/178911557 This lion had large strong wings of skin and ribs. They could be extended fully by his side or folded up against his side.]]> 2017-07-18 02:01:05 UTC https://padlet.com/lmahlabe/g9exs7soobta/wish/178911557 lmahlabe https://padlet.com/lmahlabe/g9exs7soobta/wish/178914298 2017-07-18 02:25:03 UTC https://padlet.com/lmahlabe/g9exs7soobta/wish/178914298
