The sun slowly floats across the land, its rays dulled by a thick cloud cover. In a way, today is a "Goldilocks" day. Not too hot, not too cold. Just right. The animals are enjoying the balanced state of things. The cats and dogs enjoy the slow, peaceful, lazy day, lying about watching the clouds go by. The birds are giving their usual sing-song chirps. But one is out of tune, screeching loudly like a klaxon horn. Its scream pierces the air, hitting the ears annoyingly painful. It is a youngling, following its mother about, begging to be fed.
