The fat sparrow with the ice-blue breast landed on the red
icona tree, grabbing one of its long branches with four-taloned feet. It hopped
across the branch, causing the tea flowers to shake and release their
sweet-smelling perfume. The sparrow stopped near the tree trunk and waited, its
bright blue breast blazing against the red of the scented flowers. A long, haunting
chirping caused the bird to turn its head. A few moments later, a red sparrow
appeared, landing on the same branch that the other sparrow previously disturbed.
The blue-breasted sparrow hopped towards the newcomer, echoing her ghostly
melody.
