boot doesnt have a place to eat. usually the kitchens, but sometimes will take food somewhere else. not the cupboard (dont want ants or mice there). but sometimes by the lake if its nice. when its cold, inside one of the greenhouses is good, too. professor sprout doesnt mind.

lately boot has been eating on the steps outside the kitchen door, the one to the south kitchen garden. the sparrows under the eves eaves watch for boot now. they fly down when he comes to eat on the steps, waiting for bread crumbs.

There was a boy boot knew back in the camp. he wanted a pet bird so bad and kept trying to catch one. do you remember him hermione? he made a cage out of sticks. he would wait with a pot or a hat and would try to jump on the bird but birds always flew away too quick. then he would get angry and scream, throw things at the birds. birds are smart. they started flying away as soon as he came outside.

boot thought about that boy today when one sparrow came up close. it could have pecked boots toes.

that boy should have tried throwing crumbs instead. then maybe the bird would have come up to him. he wouldnt have to catch the bird and keep it in a cage at all, if the bird decided to be his friend.

being kind would have worked better.
