Fish fell out of the sky

While walking along the beach at Blouberg Strand, admiring the girls in their bikinis and watching the children enjoying themselves with their buckets and spades building sand castles, I suddenly felt a thud on my head. I was knocked onto the sand. I laid there, too scared to turn or twist, “what was that” I thought.

I eventually turned my head. What could have hit me? Did someone throw something at me? Why would they do such a thing?

I slowly turned my head to the right. There was no sign of any thing that could have been thrown at me. I turned my head to the left. To my surprise I saw a slimy wet fish. I jumped up angered with the thought of someone throwing me with a fish.

I looked around and herd people laughing. A bird had picked the fish up but on its way to the nest the fish had fallen from its mouth onto my head. “What a fishy tale” I muttered and continued walking on the beach.
