Let our picture tell your story - Edition 7
Another week has passed us by so quickly and that brings the 6th edition to a close. Welcome back to the 7th edition of - Let our picture tell your story!!
Let our picture tell your story' challenge has helped me meet a wider range of users than I normally would. It has been a lot of fun and excitement for me.
It is like looking through a kaleidoscope at the same picture interpreted in so many different ways. The angles from which each person views these images is so fresh and wonderful. Each has a beauty of its own.
That said, this challenge has been intentionally kept very simple and easy to make it possible for everyone to participate.
The stories you present here are not judged based on grammar, or your command of the language but on your creativity, originality and fun in the comment section. I believe positive comments make for a friendlier Hive.
So let's have as much fun as possible in this edition as well.
Let's get started with the Seventh edition of the 'Let our picture tell your story'
Your story needs to be based on the image below.

We have been over this choreography 20 times!!!! You do NOT turn until the 8 count.
We face the audience and we don't "turn to shake our tailfeathers" until AFTER the chorus.
BUT SARA... IF WE ARE ALL BACKWARDS AND YOU'RE FORWARDS... MAYBE YOU'RE THE ONE WHO IS WRONG.
I'm the lead singer. I'm never wrong.
HAHAHAHA i used to be a lead singer, and I'm sure that my band would kill me if I ever said that LOLOLOL
I'm never wrong, sounds familiar. LOL
Love this dirty dancing ..
You've got this nailed @dreemsteem.

Hahaha, you make me laugh.😂
Sounds familiar to as well??
LOL I hope you don't mind the way I edited your image.

"Hey, what do you think about that pitch, Hank?"
"It's a home run for sure!"
"The home team is going to win the championship this year, I can just feel it."
"I think so too. We have the best players in the state."
From the girl bird looking at the camera:
"Can't you guys think about anything else? I'm leaving before one of those balls comes our way."
"Go on Sarah, we'll catch up to you later. Watch out for Mrs. Smith's cat, I saw it looking at your nest yesterday."
"It's sweet of you to worry, but no cat could ever sneak up on me"

Glad to see you here again @wrestlingdesires
Thanks, it was fun doing this one :) And thanks so much for the prizes ♥️
!PIZZA !ALIVE
You are so welcome @wrestlingdesires the fun is more in the interactions and i enjoy them. LOL
So do I :) But I need to find a good balance so I will write daily. Mostly because if I skip a day, it's too easy to repeat that the next day 😂
I know what you mean, yesterday I didn't come online (life calls) and today there is so much to catch up.
Then there are times I just don't want to do much.
It seems easier to stay motivated to write if you do it daily. Or is that just me?
I am always motivated,but sometimes get drowned in the work on the off line world and then struggle to get back here.
I prefer to write than do my chores lol
lol... But you prefer comments to writing?
I love writing more.
I mean chores in the offline world lol.. I can write all day

!PIZZA !ALIVE
That's a shame- many birds have great relationship with cats!
But not all cats are so kind to birds!
!PIZZA !ALIVE
True, its all about letting them develop there friendship when they're young and that's when they realise that being friends can be better than being meals...
Yeah, I think it could be a lot harder once they have already decided? But maybe not impossible?

Applepie ahead!
Woooh! Have you seen this? They making up a garden party!
Oh yes and the grandmom has already brought her applepie to the table!
That's for sure the same delicious than last time
That makes me soooo excidet. Do you remember the crumbs we got last time?
Now she is going inside the house again.
Should we start over to the table?
Hey guys dont you see the cat under the table? That's too dangerous! Stay here!
But the cat is under and the pie is on the table. If we just fly over it picking quickly some crumbs?
Yea this should work fine. Let's start?
Of course we should! I dont see the woman coming back so far. And this old cat seems to sleep.
Ok so let's go .... 3.... 2....
Oh my god I have to look the other way. Cant see this. You two are so crazy bird.
Please listen to me its to dangerous!
.........aaand 1 !
How can you resist apple pie? and that too grandma's apple pie?
What can an sleepy old cat do , he doesn't have wings right?
Don't you worry girl, they'll be alright!!
Hmm nice story there, best wishes for the challenge @beeber
But you never know how much energy an old cat gets seeing little birds ;-) maybe she does not really sleep bit keeps one eye open ;-)
Wicked ole cat, he can't spring up in time with his aching bones.
These young birds can fly and fly away before he can open the other eye. I think hehe.
Consider it might be an old but very wise cat wich knows a lot of tricks how to catch them ;-)
Haha and with the little stomachs full with Apple pie the left of from the table could be difficult 😂😂
Maybe, a cunning one.. why do I get a feeling he is blind in one eye and can see well enough to chase those little birdies.
Hehhehehe I love th countdown!!! Now I'm in the mood for apple pie also! Lolol
Hmmm yea Apple pie would be nice right now
ha ha this is fab @beeber. Let's hope they are quick! I can't look either😂
For sure they are quick enough :-) always wondering about when they come to restaurants how clever ans quick they are
lol I loved the interactions. It felt like when I am watching my kids ha ha
Come on fast and write your story this closes in about 10 hours from now. Hehe
Aaah, so sorry, been pulled from pillar to post at the moment lols. Both with work, secondary school visits for my eldest, curation, and meeting commitments to take part in various community initiatives. I think I may have to skip this round and join in the next. I am diversifying and trying all sorts of new engagements across the different communities, so I have this on my list for next time! Am at work now on a short break... how often do these run?
Absolutely no worries. The invitation is open, join in any time and have some fun with us. I understand. Have a lovely day @samsmith197
Hopefully puss doesn't like chicken (birds) as much as he birds like apple pie! 😅
Maybe the woman when she comes back to table thinks it's been the cat eating the pie ;-)
Hmm.. then like tom he'll have to pack his bags and go LOL.
he should better do that ;-)
Lol Naughty bird and poor kiity kat.. Hehe
I found a happy end for the Story ;-)
The two birds fly to the table
They throw somw big crumbs for the cat to the foor
Seeing the cat eating pie, the two other birds decide ok that's save enough and also fly for some pie
The woman coming out from the house seeing this laughs because she loves animals and it was her fault leaving the pie alone on the garden table
:-)
How cute... Its okay you can keep the story as it was lol.. no worries.
Oh blame the poor cat! Poor Puss!
yea our fethered friends are smart and clever ;-)
Yes they are. much smarter than most humans when you think about it.
Yes all animals living free in nature are. They know the true meaning of life :-)
Now Lefty, don’t look growled Vincenzo.
OMG Lefty, I said DON”T look, did you hear me tell him not to look Legs? I swear I’m gonna put a cap in his feather one day growled Vincenzo again shaking his head, staring intently ahead, trying to ignore the daffy henchmen staring out into the distance behind him.
Look! barked Vincenzo as Squeaky swung his head around, body perched ready for action.
Now what are you looking at Squeaky? Vincenzo gruffly asked his young nephew affectionately.
Oh well Uncle, you said Look, so I looked.
Vincenzo shook his head exhaling a long sigh
No Squeaky, I wasn’t telling you to look, I was telling Lefty over there to look, but NOT look and you see him Squeaky, that is the perfect example of looking instead of not looking when you really want to look.
Confused, Squeaky kept hunched in his ready to pounce form that he had spent so much of his time polishing over the years waiting for his uncle to notice him and so didn’t want to ask him what he meant for fear of his uncles scorn.
But it was too late, his silence told his uncle everything and eyes staring straight ahead, Vincenzo tilted his head every so slightly to the right and said quietly now listen and listen carefully Squeaky. You’re too clean. You can’t be here to hear this, so I’m only going to say it once ok and then, then you forget that you ever heard it.
Squeaky’s body tensed even more and his eyes widened in expectation of the big secret that Vincenzo was going to reveal to him
Lefty Looslips over there with the very bad hearing problem, he’s not your real brother ok Squeaky. I'm sorry to have to tell you that, but.... Vincenzo said softly with a touch of both sadness and relief in his voice.
But...
Shh!
Not a word to anyone you hear me Squeaky ordered Vincenzo. Not even your mother!
But… Squeaky tried to protest again.
Shh!
Now, what were we taking about Legs?
Oh yeah, that’ right. When is that damn bird going to come out with our dinner?
Well ummm that’s what I was trying to tell you uncle, Squeaky stammered. Lefty over there, he’s actually our waiter.
Oh. Ohhhhh... right yes ofcourse Squeaky Vincenzo said winking and nodding his head slightly.
Yes ofcourse, that’s right my nephew. That's what you heard. Right. Good boy then.
Good. Stated Vincenzo nodding.
Now where is my dinner. I’m starving! he shouted.
Great shot @nelinoeva and thanks so much to @melinda010100 @sofs-su for keeping this great contest going again and to @melinda010100 @dreemsteem and #ecency for the support.
I hope that you guys enjoyed my little story about confusion..🤣
Hahahahaha the conversation is priceless!!!! So funny.. like that stand up routine "who's on first" hahahahaha. Very clever!!
Haaa so glad that you liked it! The words just rolled out of my brain and onto the keyboard such is the inspiration of such a great photo!
Oh yeah there is confusion enough out there.. squeaky is clean and can see well too, maybe it was the hunger.
Thanks for joining in @chocolatescorpi best wishes to you for the contest.
Yep well that is the confusion one faces when one is getting a bit alzheimery and completely deaf and previous overload complex isn't it!
So happy that you liked it! Poor Squeaky, now he's completely confused in so many ways too.
Oh ok it is Alizimers awareness campaign now.
Good on you.. Love this.
Yeah why not, afterall, most of us are either going to get it, have it now, or have experience with someone that has had it, so why not write a funny story with a significant message in it.
Absolutely important. I love your stories.
🙏😊🙏
Here is my short story.
The Four Friends
They were four inseparable friends since kids. They played together, they learned to fly together and they were doing lots of mischieves together. The time has passed and the four friends got their own families and they took their own paths in life. But they did make reunions for the sake of the old times. It was such fun to gather again, to perch on a railing like they did before and to tease the cats. This last time, however, only John was not so happy to participate in the game. He was thinking he was too important to play childish games. The other three did not want to stop and kept on making noises that got the cats below pretty annoyed. John thought to himself, how odd it would be, when his friends got too old and tried to behave like young fledglings. The last to laugh will be the cats.
That actually made me think of 2 things- a funny movie with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost about the reunion of 4 school friends with the same thoughts as John...
And that when his friends get too old but keep teasing the cats they may not be able to fly away so quickly from the cats anf yes, the cats might juts have the last laugh!
great story!
Yes, that film got me think about that story. 😀
Oh great cause it was an excellent film- as they always are by Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost...🤣
I love to watch Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, they are hilarious. 😀
"Paul", "Hot Fuzz", to name a few.
Haaa yes, I think that Hot Fuzz would have to be my favourite...but so hard to choose cause they are all so freakin hilarious! 🤣
Hmm.. there is a child in you even when you grow up.
That is where yo have all the fun and frolic,
Good one Neli.. I told you so, I am never wrong Hahha😆
Hehe, my inner child pops up from time to time. 😂
That's so much fun there!

Yas, the Intelligent King of Birds
In a forest on the edge of the village, there is a kingdom of sparrows, they have lived for generations without being disturbed by humans, because their kingdom is covered by large trees and shrubs.
The king of birds has four sons, the first child named Han who has a sturdy body, the second child named Riku who has strong wings,the third son named sam has a strong beak, the fourth son named Yas, has a small body and wings are also not as strong as his brothers, but he is very kind.
One day, the king said to his four children, "O my children, the long dry season is coming soon, whoever among you manages to collect as much grain as possible, then he is the one who has the right to become king in place of father".
Han said to his brothers, "of course I will be the next king, I am the strongest among you, I will collect corn and rice seeds as much as possible". The three younger siblings were silent at Han's words.
The next day, Han started to steal corn and rice grains from the farmer's fields, he was very excited. Riku and Sam didn't want to lose, they started collecting grain just like Han. Unlike his three brothers, every morning Yas flew to the hills and came home in the afternoon without bringing a grain of grain, of course his other brothers started insulting Yas.
“What are you doing little brother, where are the seeds you have to collect?" shouted his brothers, Yas just smiled at the ridicule.
Three months have passed, the three granaries (food supplies) of Yas's brothers are almost full, while Yas does not have a single grain.When the dry season arrives, many farmers' crops die and the birds find it difficult to find food.
"O my children, our people are running out of food, whoever can provide food for our people, he is our new king". The father began to inspect their barn and was very happy to see their barn full of grain, but the father was disappointed with Yas, because he did not find a single grain.
"Yas, why are you lazing around, not gathering food like your brothers?" asked the father,the other brothers began to mock him.
Yas said, "O my father and brothers, I do not have a barn like you guys, but I have more seeds".
"Ah how is that possible, how did you collect more seeds than us?" asked the other brother.
Yas also invited his father and brothers to go with Yas towards the hill, how surprised they were to see the yellowing rice ready to be harvested.
"So all this time, I went to the hills to sow these rice seeds, I didn't idle, I didn't want to steal from the farmers, sorry for the farmers, their life was difficult, so I started to collect the fallen seeds, when they harvested rice and I planted it again on this hill.”
His brother siblings were embarrassed to hear Yas’s explanation, it turned out that their sister was very diligent and smart, they apologized and hugged.
The father announced Yas as the new king of birds, the other birds cheered for their smart and kind new king.
@umirais what a sweet little story here.
A beautiful lesson too.
Enjoyed reading it.
Love it.. best wishes for the challenge.
Wow! So amazing. I love this story.

Great one
Great story right? Glad you enjoyed it.
Yeah. It was worth reading.
thank's my friend
Title: Eye on sparrow.
The story
What a beauty! Ago said. Don’t you see how beautiful she is? Asked Ago.
She is the the princess to the king. What do you expect? Agel answered.
Yeah then I would take her for myself. Said Abel.
I am hungry 🤤. Let’s find something to eat! Areal concluded.
(Who would have a sight on such beauty and won’t take a second look?)
They all went out to get something to eat. On their way scavenging. Ago saw a poster across the street saying. “The princess is getting married. He who proves himself worthy should apply”.
The four brothers changed the mission of scavenging and head towards the kings palace to apply.
Many had made efforts but they were not able to win the princess heart.
Ago who had the first sight on her went out and said;
“You are the moon and I am the sun today is our eclipse forever.”
Everyone cheered for him but the princess eyed for the next contestant
Agel went forward and said “You are my cup of coffee, the one I look forward to each morning”
The princess smiled and was about to stand but the waved her and for the other contestant.
Abel, the third of the brothers went forward and express himself saying “my day starts and ends with the thoughts of you”
She smiled, nodded her head for the last contestant to come on.
Areal came in with a smile on his face and went on his kneel, he brought out the little ring he had weaved from a beautiful grass on their way to the palace. He said on his kneel “A sweet ‘yes’ from you is enough to send my heart flying to outer space.”
Her eyes glowed in love, she blushed and find her way out to the stage. And shouted YES!!!
She said to him. You know the true value of a woman. Not by words alone…
The end…
OOps I am so sorry to have missed your story @abdul-qudus
