Oliver the Goose in the Green

This is the story of Oliver, a goose who lives in a park called The Green. Oliver can’t figure out why rocks are being hurled at him in his own home. His family has lived in The Green for centuries. Year after year, new people come to the park to play, but instead they use him for target practice. This is scary for Oliver and his friends so they start to make noise, which just make matters even worse.

You might think that geese are noisy and stinky, but Oliver is a very special bird. He has very strong wings and will fly a great distance when he migrates to a warmer location for the winter months. When he grows up, Oliver will help his mate care for their goslings, but for now, he just wants to play in the park that he calls home. He enjoys walking on the banks of the river and wading out to get wet on warm sunny days. He loves to go fishing on any day of any month of any year.  Perhaps there is enough room in the Land of Terra for all of us …
