Three Good Deeds
“Reunion What it took, for Howard's parents to show up looking for him, was three long days.
In that time Howard not only learned which plants to eat, but he also learned that no matter how much he ate, he was still going to be hungry.
Maybe it was because the male geese always seemed to want to run him off from wherever he was, so he was constantly moving.
"That's my female!" they would honk, even when he wasn't all that close to anybody, even when he wasn't trying to talk to anybody, even when... he had his back turned on everybody and somebody had come up behind him. "That's my female!" And they would honk and hiss and flap their wings until Howard moved far enough away to satisfy one goose, which would generally mean he'd crossed over into some other goose's territory.
Of course, the male geese thinking Howard was too close to their females was nothing compared to parent geese thinking he was too close to their goslings that were just starting to hatch. "Keep away from my family!" mother and father geese would screech at him when the tiny goslings were so far away Howard could hardly make them out.MoreLess
