She felt the commotion about her; the egg
was just too small!
She knew it couldn't hold her; she'd gotten
rather tall.
So she took her little beak, and tapped
it on the shell.
It wouldn't budge, but with a shove, on
the hot sands she fell.
Her legs were still entrapped, so she kicked
away the egg.
She tried to stand upon the sands, but
the shards stuck to her leg.
She looked about for help, then hazily
tried to walk.
But she tripped when she stepped on a wing;
she fell just like a rock.
She felt a caring touch around her, two
hands as smooth as gloves;
she looked into those innocent eyes, and
instantly fell in love.
The link of Impression had been made, never
to deplete.
She told the girl, I'm Laranoth, and
I really need to eat!
