The Hungry Magpie

My Mummy, my brother Alister and I (Adilya) look after a family of magpies. They eat the cat food when the cat is still eating it. Sometimes the magpies push the cat out of the way and he has to wait. One day we spent a long time trying to take a large moth out of the house. We were very careful not to hurt its wings. It escaped a couple of times but we finally got it. When we opened the back door to release it, the biggest magpie swooped down and ate it! We didn't speak we were so shocked. But then my Mummy laughed.
