Not a Man of Straw

Not a Man of Straw

Our neighbor, Mr. French, has a very large farm and he has had trouble with birds all his life. Birds eat his vegetable crops and cost him a lot of money, so Mr. French has just bought a computerized scarecrow called Worzel. Worzel is more than two meters tall and has four legs. He has a round head and arms that swing from right to left. “Has Worzel had any success?” I asked Mr. French recently as I watched him having a walk in a vegetable field. “He has a tremendous effect on birds,” Mr. French said. “Come and have a look at him. An ordinary scarecrow has a head full of straw, but Worzel has a brain!” Just then I heard a loud moan and saw a blinding flash. “You aren’t having a dream,” Mr. French said. “He does this to frighten the birds!” Of course, there wasn't a bird in sight! “I must leave now, Mr. French,” I said as I saw Worzel coming towards me. “Have an appointment.” “He's harmless,” Mr. French said, but I wasn't going to wait to find out!
