And Condors Danced
“The wings swayed slightly, the long finger feathers at their tips stirring the dust. Carly pulled Rosemary to a quick stop and sat motionless, her heart racing. Her attention was fixed so intently on the condor that it took her a moment to realize that Matt had slid off Barney and was approaching the spring. He was, in fact, only a few feet from the condor before Carly noticed him.
“Matt, stop,” she hissed.
Matt turned toward her and the look on his face was so strange that she seemed to feel, ...rather than see, it—like something hitting her in the pit of the stomach. “Why?” Matt said, in a voice as un-Mattlike as the expression on his face. “It’s dead.”
“Dead?” Carly stared at the condor in horror. It couldn’t be dead. She’d seen it move. She slid off Rosemary and scrambled down to where Matt was waiting. Then, together, they approached the enormous black bird. Matt was right. It was dead.
There was a sign near the pool. Father had painted the sign and Arthur and Charles had mounted it on a sturdy pole on the day that Carly had first visited the spring.MoreLess
