“Aaah!” Escalada yelps as a flock of birds suddenly flies out of the pyramid. A flurry of wings whacks him in the face. He tries to swat the birds away and almost loses his footing.
Regaining his balance, Escalada decides to try another tactic. It’s a good thing I always bring snacks, he thinks. Pulling a few crackers, some bubblegum, and a half-eaten banana out of his pockets, he places them on the ledge. The birds flock to the crackers and banana, hungrily devouring them. “Don’t you guys like bubblegum?” Escalada asks them. He shrugs, takes the gum back, and resumes climbing.
