Geese

A group of geese search for food in the lush grass on the distant slope, their heads bobbing up and down as they peck at the grass. Meanwhile, I stand at the roadside, quietly observing them from a distance. Each goose is focused intently on finding food, except for one that stands like a sentinel, its long neck extended as it keeps a careful watch over the flock, ensuring the safety of its companions. Under the watchful eyes of the sentinel, the rest of the geese feed peacefully with their confidence.
