Cat pounce!
Bird scream!
Daughter comes runnin',
Cries 'Daddy, Daddy
Put down your brush!
Bad cat!
Hurt bird!
Come, Daddy, come! '
Scare cat.
Bird flop.
Broken wing draggin'.
Blood on breast
Where cat made hole.
Girl cries.
Bird too.
Sad bird, frightened.
Bird die.
Girl cry.
Life force slip
Through hand.
Stare in wonder
Death.
Cat sulks
Beneath dark hedge.
