In a near-by clearing, Cricket and How-Ya-Do came upon a ridiculously comical sight.  It was an extra-large hyper-manic bird yelling at the funniest looking Crawfish that she had ever seen. The Crawfish stood over a foot tall, which just does not happen, and he was wearing a light-blue beanie and gold chains around his neck.
