The Trusty Finger
Clarissa’s scared. She's caught in a fierce storm . The wind blows and howls flipping chairs and
dogs and cats and morning newspapers left on the porch.  It blows with all its might and is taking
her with it!

She decides she must use her trusty finger for it is filled with mysterious power. It once before
saved her when she thought she was doomed. She takes a deep breath, holds her arm out and,
drawing a circle in the air with it,lets her trusty finger point her in a direction. She holds her aim as
steady as the blustery wind will let her then flies with all her might.

Soon she begins to feel tired. Her shoulders feel like they’re on fire from the flapping. Her body
feels like a lead weight. The wind kicks and shoves at her like she’s a small leaf. It blows in her
eyes and her beak, twists her clothes around her like wash hung on a drying line. It would be so
easy to stop flapping and just let go.

But Clarissa doesn't give up.  She believes in her trusty finger. Just when she doesn’t think she
can flap one more time Clarissa thinks she sees the Andersson barn. Her finger has been pointing
to it the whole time! Joy and relief bloom like a rose in her heart at the sight of the big boxy
building. With one last joyful surge she breaks free of the howling storm’s grip and floats down
down down.
