Where I Live

“Where are you going?” asked Crow.
“Home,” I answered.
“Is that a place?” asked Crow.

“It’s like a roost,” I said. “And,
 a nest. A roost and a nest combined.
Well, it’s were humans do most
things,” I concluded.

“Oh,” he replied. “Then why are you
out here in the woods with us
every day?”

“Because,” I answered,

“This is where I live.”
