Pito watched the goslings with an intent stare. He needed them to complete their formations with precision and expertise well beyond their age and training.
When one of the geese lost his footing and tripped, everyone watching groaned.
Pito suddenly had an idea though, he hurried over to the fallen goose and helped him to his feet.
"I think you would make a perfect distraction for your battalion," Pito told the young goose.
"But, I keep tripping," the boy stammered.
"Exactly," Pito agreed. "I want you in the front when we get near the end. I want you to fall and distract the enemy from what's happening."
"But I thought we were going to fly in formation?" the goslings clamored.
"You'll fly to within a half mile, then," Pito paused for dramatic effect, "You'll go in on foot. They will be completely confused."
"Who's going to fly in?" one of the geese asked.
Pito smiled. "I have some ideas," he replied as he motioned them back into formation. "Now if only I can distract everyone long enough,"
Until next time, be ever attentive!
