Algy slept unusually well on his cosy bed of leaves and moss, safe in the knowledge – or at least the belief – that the magic pumpkin lantern would protect him from the very real dangers which lurked in every dark night to threaten the wellbeing, and even the life, of a daft and invitingly soft fluffy bird.

And he was delighted and relieved, when he woke the next morning, to find that the pumpkin had remained its place, and was still glowing gently in the dim morning light, although not with the mysterious brilliance that had illuminated the darkness.

Algy was less pleased, however, to see that the Scotch mist had descended again in the night, and the woodland, which had already seemed impenetrable, was now also barely visible beyond a few short hops away.

Carrying his pumpkin with some difficulty, Algy fluttered over to a steep slope at the outer edge of the wood and paused to catch his breath, for a fluffy bird, though adept at flying, is not well adapted to toting unusual weights.

He was at a loss to know what to do next, or which way to go, for although Algy remained determined to continue his search for the light and warmth which must exist somewhere in the heart of the winter darkness, he had so far found not the slightest clue to guide him in the right direction. And although he was loath to abandon the magical lantern which seemed almost to have been provided deliberately for his use, the difficulty of transporting it would certainly make his quest much more challenging.

Resting on the wet grass, Algy pondered his situation, and as he wondered rather disconsolately how to proceed, some lines of a poem by Longfellow drifted into his mind through the blanketing mist, and he took heart again:

Tell me not, in mournful numbers,    Life is but an empty dream! For the soul is dead that slumbers,    And things are not what they seem. Life is real! Life is earnest!    And the grave is not its goal; Dust thou art, to dust returnest,    Was not spoken of the soul. Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,    Is our destined end or way; But to act, that each to-morrow    Find us farther than to-day. … Lives of great men all remind us    We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us    Footprints on the sands of time; Footprints, that perhaps another,    Sailing o’er life’s solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,    Seeing, shall take heart again. Let us, then, be up and doing,    With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing,    Learn to labor and to wait.

[Algy is quoting the opening and closing three verses of the much-repeated poem A Psalm of Life by the 19th century American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.]

Syverson watched as you played with Bailey, tossing the ball and waiting for her to bring it back, he had warned you to be careful and play gently as to not jar your head.

The German had been quick about learning and he had her trained in a short time. He felt something in him soften as you glanced at him and offered a tentative smile. He smiled back, before he caught sight of the bandaid on the side of your forehead and he looked away.

He was waiting.

It was in his training.
