Scene 1 – The Birds on the Wire
The afternoon sun shone brightly as Nova, Milo, and Dr. Zaptain rode their bikes along a quiet road near the park.
Milo slowed down suddenly and pointed upward.
Several small birds sat calmly on the power lines above them.
Milo: “WAIT.”
Nova stopped her bike beside him.
Nova: “What?”
Milo pointed at the wires overhead.
Milo: “Aren’t those electric wires?”
Nova looked up carefully.
Nova: “Very electric.”
Milo stared at the birds in disbelief.
Milo: “Then why aren’t they getting shocked?”
Dr. Zaptain stopped his bike and glanced upward calmly.
Dr. Zaptain: “An excellent observation, Cadet Milo.”
One bird suddenly hopped farther along the wire.
Milo blinked.
Milo: “It’s touching the wire ON PURPOSE.”
