Chapter 5 Touch and go
It was touch and go with Goldie. I didn't think she would live.I've seen Grandad set pigeons' legs before.He does it with a cardboard tube and some sticky tape. But it's not as easy as it looks.When I tried it with Goldie my hands were shaking. I was so scared of hurting her.
But I did it. I took off her racing ring and taped up her broken leg.Then I put her in a shoebox in the pigeon loft.
She just sat there, looking miserable.I put some grains of corn in. She didn't eat them.I gave her some water. She didn't drink it.I thought, 'She'll be dead by morning.'
I couldn't sleep. I tossed and turned all night.
But, next morning, when I went round to the pigeon loft, she looked much better!She had a drink; she ate some corn. She even went 'Coo-coo' to me.
And in the weeks after that she grew stronger and stronger. Her golden eyes grew bright again.
Then, last night, Mum said to me, 'Grandad's coming home tomorrow.'
