The Invitation

BLANK INSIDE

STORY ON BACK:

The ravens took off like black jets, inviting everyone via their extensive noisy network. Honks, chortles, screams, squonks, and raucous caws were heard by every desert dweller. “From bite-size to bigger guys!” the birds chanted. One raven placed a saguaro blossom and sprigs of chuparosa between the ears of a jackrabbit. Inspired and excited, the animals began fashioning their adornments from the abundance of materials right under their noses. The rodents refrained from noshing on the supplies.
