A neighbour


She was just by the window of class 5B, looking at us while we were learning abut fractions. But she obviously had more important things on her mind: the future of generations and generations of doves was in her care, hidden in the tiny eggs in the nest she and her mate had built. Quite a big responsibility, don't you think so? No wonder she looks so serious.
I asked the kids in 5B not to scare her, because she would leave her eggs to get cold, and it was the first time in 6 months they were perfectly silent for... a few minutes.

You may have found a way to make them interested in something.
Do you have many doves around?

Yes, I can use it from time to time, but we can't do Maths watching the doves.
The right number to be a nice addition to the neighbourghood, not a pest.
