IX. THE MYSTERY GROWS
When spring tiptoes northward, Mistress Spring drags her bundle of warm breezes across the Green Meadows and the laughing brook, coaxing a chorus of feathered friends to follow. Winsome Bluebird leads, honking geese echo the news, and a parade of sparrows, robins and redwings fills the sky, all eager to return to the blooming forest. Among them, old Mistah Buzzard, once convinced the southern climes were his forever home, discovers the charm of the Green Forest while visiting his friend Unc’ Billy Possum, and begins to spin lively tales of the journey for anyone who’ll listen.
One quiet listener—a mysterious wanderer who keeps his thoughts to himself—absorbs every story, his curiosity blooming into a secret resolve. He sets out alone, guided only by the distant flight of Mistah Buzzard and the promise of a surprise for Billy. As he trudges onward, the blue horizon swells with anticipation, hinting that his unexpected arrival may soon ripple through the forest’s gentle rhythm.
