A Brave Leader who Can Lead the Smallest of Armies - Essay Example

As the chaos cleared up and the gardener shook the bush in order to check if all the crows had left, all but one crow stood close to the nest. The constant shaking was only able to budge him a little but he was back at the nest almost instantly. He kept on screaming as if calling out to the scattered flock of crows which had left. To my surprise, the scattered crows responded to his calling and started to come back towards the nest which held the crow’s young. They began to sit at the top of the bush and when the gardener shook the bush once again, the resilient crow flew towards the gardener with all the crows behind him as if they were all charging at him.

The gardener ran for his life at this sight and refused to come back for quite a while until all the noise had died down. He did not touch the bush again even once. The crows are collectively called a flock or poetically a ‘murder’ (Word Detective). Now I know why. Today, I saw for myself that a brave leader can lead the smallest of armies against the largest of enemies and yet succeed.
