Chapter two.

Out in the north field Daisy the cow was slowly making her way towards the center of the field to her favorite spot to lay down and sleep for a few hours. Just as she was about to lower her hind legs she bumped into something, she stopped, turned her head to see, no there was nothing behind her. She walked round the spot, tried to sit but again she bumped into an unseen object, it was like an invisible wall. So, she decided to try another spot in the same area about 6 feet away, same thing. That’s odd she thought my eyesight must be bad, I can feel it but not see it. She was after all a very old cow in cow years. So she just figured her eyesight was bad and it was dark even though the moon was out. She just moved to another spot about 20 feet away, lay down and never gave it another thought.

Meanwhile on the other side of the field 3 geese where making their way towards the center of the field to see why Daisy had been acting strangely. They had been living on Douglas island 4 years now and had become used to daisy`s routine of sleeping in her favorite spot. On cold nights they would settle down beside her for warmth and her body was a great wind barrier. John, Paul and Ringo (the geese) waddled towards Daisy`s new position. Ringo was the first to arrive.

“Daisy why have you changed you sleeping spot” Ringo asked

“Well there appears to be something there so I just decided to move until the sun comes up”

“But daisy there is nothing there, I can see very clearly, I have great eyesight at night”

“Well I sure bumped into something”

“What’s up with Daisy” asked Paul as he joined them

“She thinks there is something in her favorite sleeping spot”

“I don’t see anything”

“Hey that’s what I told her”

“Well let’s go over and check it out boys” said John as he arrived within earshot

So all three waddled of to the center of the field. Ringo was the first to arrive. He was just about to say ,See nothing there, when his long beak struck something hard that made a clanking sound sort of like hollow metal. He froze in his tracks, then leaned his head forward ever so slowly, clink his beak made contact with something.

“John, Paul, bless me! There is something here I can feel it but not see it, Daisy is right”

“Ya! Right, you got in to the kitchen cupboard again didn’t you? Had some of Mr. James special water, told you that stuff would mess with your head” said John coming up beside him

“I have told you many; many times our place is in the yard stay out of the hous...”Clank‼! His words were cut short as he walked straight into the thing that was not there.

“What the…What was that?”

“Gee you have been drinking the Mr. James’s special water too” said Ringo

“No, seriously, what is that “as he touched it more cautiously this time

“You’re asking me, you’re the know it all, you tell me Einstein”

“Einstein, who`s Einstein, I don’t see any Einstein” said Paul joining them

“Do we have a new friend, I like new friends, Einstein Pleased to meet you, where are you?”

“Now look what you have started John it will take us forever to explain to him why I called you Einstein”

“Wait, why did you call John Einstein?”

“Oh boy here we go again, Listen Mac fly, I mean Paul”

“Who is Macfly, boy two new friends” said Paul excitedly

“Hey look! There is a big bag of bird seed on the house porch, last one there is a sissy”

That was all Paul needed to hear ‘BIRD SEED, and he was off in the direction of the house forgetting all about his new friends Einstein and Macfly.

“Whew! That was close, now we can try to figure out what the thing is that’s not here” said John

“Hey that was not nice”

“I know, but do you want to spend all night trying to explain why Einstein and Macfly are not here?”

“Right you are, but it still was not nice”

“Ok! Back to the real mystery, what is this thing we can’t see?
