Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
My job was confining me indoors too much, but the large ground-level window kept me in touch with a small segment of the outdoor world. A shrub along the sidewalk was a regular midafternoon perch for a spectacular male cardinal.
One day I seemed to be alone in the office, so I began to whistle my imitation of a male cardinal as I watched the real one trilling outside.
Suddenly I was surprised by the face of my boss peeking around the door. He gave me a puzzled, questioning look.
“I was just whistling to the cardinal,” I said in surprise.
Both my boss and the cardinal departed.
