Blinkey, a scholarly owl with exquisite manners, had a secret. While other owls were napping, he was practising his greatest talent: balancing. After a particularly intense session, he left his favourite round glasses resting in a rather creative arrangement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He had managed to perch one arm perfectly inside the other, creating a modern miniature piece that defied gravity. \u2018Perfect\u2019, he hooted softly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was just admiring his handiwork when his annoying, hyperactive cousin, Beau, swooped in. \u2018Hey Blinkey! You know, for a smart guy, you sure wear goofy glasses,\u2019 Beau said, landing near the delicate masterpiece. \u2018Why is that one doing the limbo?\u2019 He gestured with a wing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blinkey bristled. \u2018That is a demonstration of structural integrity and poise, Beau. It is not the limbo at all.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beau, of course, could not help himself. He gave the frame a nudge. The entire structure collapsed with a tiny clack!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2018Oops!\u2019 said Beau, not looking remotely sorry. \u2018Poise, huh?\u2019 Blinkey glared, but Beau had already spotted a field mouse and dived away. Blinkey sighed, carefully re-engaging the arms, exactly as they were previously. The world, at least the creative one, was balanced again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Blinkey, a scholarly owl with exquisite manners, had a secret.
