How they broke!
On our non-freezing on the occasion of the mild winter river winters a huge number of ducks. This is huge! They get stuck in the water, wander and sit on the shores. They do not have to go hungry - pancakes, crustaceans, cakes and other snacks come well from walking citizens, especially on weekends.
The story happened on the first working day of this year, when the people went to work and I went on my daily walk.
As I approached the stream, I caught an unusual movement. All this dirty mass of the crowd and, I must say, at a decent speed, went to me. The ducks left the water, got up on the shore and went, and went to me. To say that it was terrible, is to say nothing - empty forests on the occasion of a working day and a regiment of birds approaching!
The secret was simple. Having accustomed for almost two weekends to daily abundant feeding, the morning of January 12 the ducks spent in confusion - no one came and did not feed them. I was probably the first person to go out in the woods that day.
Unfortunately, I didn’t even find a dried crust in my pockets, and I passed through these dissatisfied creatures with great caution.
I remembered Hitchcock all day.
