Horatio continued eating. “More seeds, please.” “Surely you’ve gotten enough now,” another sunflower muttered. “So close,” bellowed Horatio. “The more I eat, the faster I fly.” *** At last, a small sunflower spoke sharply. “Can’t you see you’re eating all the seeds? Soon, there will be nothing left.” *** Horatio popped the last seed into his mouth. A moment later, he spit the seed onto the ground. “Ah, yes, I am finally full,” he said. He zipped into the sky, performed several clever tricks, then flew away. *** A small fawn turned to her mother. “Now, I am hungry. May I have some seeds?” No seeds remained. Horatio had eaten them all.
