PADDLEMAN by Tom Clark

""Watch your wings! Don't feather your engine! Now, pull back... easy ... easy ..." The Paddleman is bringing in a young aviaryator (a bird aviator) for a landing at the local flight school. Birds have natural abilities to take off, fly, and land. Still, like people, initial instruction for them makes a real difference in getting one's "feet off the ground" as well as "landing on one's feet" when the winds of fortune are blowing in different directions.The gnome Paddleman has been putting in a lot of overtime lately at a popular bird feeder. These airline hubs are especially crowded in beautiful gardens. Lots of gnomes like to sit beside the field and watch the birds land - especially Stan, Rorie, Audubon and Peterson, Foster and the Dove School Bus. Sometimes flights are delayed when hawks are patrolling the area. At night, the landing field is often ringed by fireflies. The Paddleman's lucky coin shows the American eagle in flight. It is a special coin for me, because it dates back to my birth year, 1928."
