Joe Kalibar is a local bird watcher. Everyday he goes on down to the local park, sits on a bench, and watches the birds go by through his binoculars. One Friday afternoon he was looking for his favorite bird, the Blue Jay. He moved his head to the right a little and he passed a man and a woman through the trees. He did not want to be nosey so he turned and looked the other way. Five seconds later he heard a loud squeal. He looked back over at the man and woman, and he saw the man grab the woman, through he to the ground and stab he in several places. He never thought in his wildest dreams that he would see something a bad as that. He couldn’t believe what he had seen. He quickly took out his cell phone, and called the police. He reported…
“Hi I am Joe Kalibar and I just witnessed a murder!”
“Do you see the people now?” said the voice on the other line.
“Yes, Yes I do.”
“Ok now listen closely, I want you to describe the people to me. Ok. We are sending police over now.
As Joe described the people to the woman on the other line, he looked through his binoculars. In the distance Joe heard the sirens of the police car.
“Ok ma’am, the man is starting to run, I have to go!” Joe hung up the phone and started towards the forest.
“Wait sir don’t hang up! Sir…Sir.. Sir!” The woman screamed into the phone.
Joe was on the move. He rushed after the man, but the man had a head start. When the police arrived Joe and them chased after the man through the forest and through town. The man went across the street and did not ee the oncoming cat. He was hit by a reckless driver. Both, the man and the driver were taken to the hospital by ambulance. The police drove Joe back to the park to pick up his belongings. When they got there, there were all sorts of people. There were Investigators, Police, FBI, and park rangers. The Investigators studied the woman’s dead body.
A few das had gone by and Joe was getting all sorts of complements from everyone. People that he knew and people that were complete strangers to him. On Sunday morning he got his daily paper. On the front cover the heading said “ Local Bird Watcher saves the day!” Joe was proud of himself. He started to read the article, then he got the full understanding of what happened that day. The man’s name was Mike Lamburg. The woman’s name was Carrie Small. She was not from the area. These two people were both married but had gotten a davocorce. They got the divorce because Carrrie (Mother of three) went anorexic. She went anorexic because she thought she was to fat to get into a job that she really wantded, so she wanted to loose a few pounds. When Mike killed her he was drunk. He had no idea what he was doing. Mike cam out of the hospital with a full recovery from the accident, but he is going to serve lifetime in jail for the murder. So, What started out as being a great Friday afternoon, turned out to be a wild goose chase. Joe was proud of what he did.
