Worn out from his long and fatiguing flight the day before, Algy had simply fallen asleep on the ground, too exhausted to seek a safer roost for the night.

Of course Algy knew only too well the dangers which lurked in the darkness in the wild west Highlands of Scotland, but he simply could not find the energy to seek a better protected perch, so he tucked his head under his wing and hoped for the best…

Algy slept deeply for a while, without a single dream, but then awoke suddenly in the middle of the night to the sounds of something creeping stealthily through the undergrowth. Without pausing for a moment, he instinctively leaped into the air and fluttered about in the inky blackness of a mist-laden night, until he eventually bumped into a large tree. Making his way up through the branches, he paused to rest, and immediately started to fall asleep again, praying that the hunter down below would move on to seek easier prey.

And while Algy slept, he dreamed of the human world, which was waiting with bated breath to see what would transpire in that large country known as the United States of America, which was caught in the throes of an historic election for its president. And he dreamed of a poem from one of the books in his own personal library, which he sends especially to all his American friends today, and indeed to all his human friends everywhere:

I dream a world where man No other man will scorn, Where love will bless the earth And peace its paths adorn I dream a world where all Will know sweet freedom's way, Where greed no longer saps the soul Nor avarice blights our day. A world I dream where black or white, Whatever race you be, Will share the bounties of the earth And every man is free, Where wretchedness will hang its head And joy, like a pearl, Attends the needs of all mankind- Of such I dream, my world!

[Algy is quoting the poem I Dream a World by the 20th century African American poet Langston Hughes.]
