Once way back when (Maybe 1841? I don't have my notes with me...) this guy was traveling to California. Somewhere around the Sierra Nevada he ran out of food and was pretty hungry. Maybe even starving. But lo and behold, a hawk flew overhead! And he thought "hey, hawks probably taste like chicken, right?"* So he shot it.
Only he missed.
But all was not lost because "Look! What is that falling from the sky? Not a hawk, but..."*
...the hawk's lunch! The shot startled the bird and he dropped a squirrel! Like manna from heaven. And the hungry man cooked up that squirrel for supper.
*I totally made these quotes up, even though this is based on a true story. A pretty awesome story if you ask me.
