Hang-gliding

 Buford decided to save up and get a hang-glider. he worked and saved and never told a soul, for fear his friends would laugh at him. He finally one day could afford his new toy. He takes it to the highest mountain he can find, and after struggling it to the top, he is ready to take his first  flight. He takes off running and reaches the edge with a mighty jump, into the wind he soars! 

 

Here in Georgia, you don't see too many people hang-gliding. In fact Pop and Tick ???? had never heard of one , let alone seen one. 

 Just then Tick spots the biggest bird he'd ever seen! 

 

"Dang! Pop look at the size of that bird!" he waied. 

 

Pop slides out from under the old brown car he is working on," Grab my shotgun, Tick." he says calmly. 

 

He runs into the house, brings out Pop's pump shotgun. He takes the shotgun and carefully aims. BANG.....BANG! The huge size bird continues to sail silently away into the treeline. 

 

"I think you done gone and missed him, Pop," Tick says. 

 

"Yep," he replies, "but at least he turned a loose of Buford!"
