The Naked Octopus Bird

Troy: “Dada, I saw a naked bird over there.”

Me: “What kind of bird?”

Troy: “A crow.”

Me: “And he was naked?”

Troy: “Yeah, he didn’t have any feathers.”

Me: “Like all over or only on part of him?”

Troy: “He only had feathers on his head.”

Me: “Why was he naked?”

Troy: “Because the other animals took all of his feathers.”

Me: “Why did they do that?”

Troy: “Because he was being mean to them.”

Me: “So, why didn’t they take the feathers off his head?”

Troy: “Because he was wearing a hat.”

Me: “I see. What kind of hat was he wearing?”

Troy: “An octopus hat.”

Me: “Like a hat that looked like an octopus or an actual octopus as a hat?”

Troy: “An actual octopus as a hat.”

Me: “And the octopus just stayed on the crow’s head? He didn’t try to get off?”

Troy: “No, but the sea monster came and he took the octopus. And he broke the crow’s hat.”

Me: “So, the crow didn’t have anything left on his head?”

Troy: “He still had feathers on it, but the sea monster ruined the feathers.”

Me: “So, he’s a naked crow with no hat and only feathers on his head.”

Troy: “No, he’s not naked anymore. He regrew the feathers.”

Me: “How did he do that?”

Troy: “Because now he’s not mean. He is good. He actually wasn’t mean. He was a little shy, that’s why he took the scarecrow.”

Me: “He took the scarecrow? What did he do with it?”

Troy: “He wanted the scarecrow so he could sleep with it.”

Me: “Like a fluffy?!”

Troy: “Mmm, hmm.”

Me [laughing]: “I’ve never heard of a crow who has a scarecrow as a fluffy.”

Troy: “He also had a squirrel fluffy. That was the fluffy that he had. He has a lot of fluffies.”

Me: “Is it a real squirrel or a fluffy squirrel?”

Troy: “It’s a fluffy, and he sleeps with it.”

Me: “Interesting.”

Troy: “This is a special story.”

Me: “It certainly is. I can honestly say I’ve never heard anything like it!”
