Pheasant's Flight

Pheasant's Flight

There was a large field next to a settlement. Early in the morning, while it was still dark, a tractor drove into the field. Its bright headlights lit up the dark surface of the field and the steady roar of the engine punctuated an otherwise perfectly still morning night. The farmer was at work while the others were still asleep.

If someone with sharp eyes had looked at the field at the time, they might have noticed a small movement on its southern edge. After closer observation, he might have concluded that it was a small animal. But now no one was in sight, and the heavy wheels of the tractor began to approach it ominously.

When the bright, almost piercing spotlight hit the right spot, the pheasant dog raised its head and blinked. It had been disturbed for some time by the sound of the engine, and now it seemed to be approaching menacingly. The pheasant had not finished his breakfast. This same field of grain had provided it with a delicious meal for many days, and the bird did not like the change this morning. The tractor was disrupting its morning routine and it wasn't feeling any fun.

The farmer steered the tractor and hummed in a low voice. The fatigue of the morning rush was beginning to wear off. The skyline was turning red and soon the sun would rise. It was the moment he was waiting for. Stunningly beautiful, even magical in a way. The darkness fades, the light wins.

The farmer was startled out of his thoughts when there was a slight hum and something dark rose into the air just outside the left window of the tractor. He just managed to make it out as a pheasant, which whipped wildly through the air, landed on the edge of the field and finally disappeared somewhere in the vegetation.

It had been close. The frightened pheasant kept running, through a small wood, over some rhizomes and ended up in the yard of a private house. With a thump of its little heart, it made one more escape, smashed against a window and crashed through three panes of glass onto the kitchen floor.

There were a lot of strange events that morning. First the house's occupants were scared out of their wits, then they saw the reason for the loud noises and broken glass, and finally they managed to carry the shaking pheasant back to the garden. The bird seemed unharmed, though very frightened, and for a while it paced the lawn in a strange way. Finally it took flight and landed somewhere in the forest canopy, in its safe and quiet habitat.

However, the pheasant's surprise visit left behind a broken window, through which the cold morning air blew into the house. Residents called the 24 Center, where customer service agents received yet another assignment about how nature pays a visit to people's homes. A glazier was assigned to the window frame, and soon everything was back to normal.

The pheasant went on with his life near the field, the new window frame was firmly in place in the house and the farmer, unaware of all this, steered the tractor away from the field. The sun had already risen, a new day had begun and everything was as before.
