I’m a baby robin

  And I’m hungry. But no-one will bring me anything to eat. Maybe if I lie on the ground and look pathetic. Maybe if I lie on the ground, fall over and look really pathetic. Maybe if I lie on the ground, fall over and look really pathetic, and look like I just got run over by a truck… I guess nothing will help.
