Story Exercise (In Progress)

Act I:

- The sun rises and Flip, a small titmouse, begins his daily routine of pulling a worm out of the ground, singing and then flying up to the bird bath, right on schedule.  (Perhaps a montage plays of his daily bath time, always with him alone)
- He daintily steps into the water and proceeds to bathe in a tidy manner, making almost no splashes.
- Twist: All of a sudden a large, plump blue jay splashes into the water, seemingly out of no where.

Act II:

- Flip is rather annoyed at the appearance of this new bird, and tries to ignore him while he bathes, but keeps getting splashed.
- The blue jay swims annoyingly close to Flip and keeps invading his space unintentionally.
- Flip tries relocating to different spots, but each time gets nearly shoved out of the bird bath.
- Twist: The blue jay accidentally knocks Flip out of the bath and into the mud below.

Act III:

-Flip gets up and is very irate now and flies back up to the bath.
- The big jay is now floating on his back and snoozing in the water.
- He leans back to give him a big splash, but right as he is about to do so, the larger bird wakes up and the two stare at each other. Flip is still covered in mud.
- The blue jay starts laughing at Flip because of his hilarious appearance. Flip is even more frustrated but then begins to laugh too when he sees his reflection in the water.
- The two birds keep laughing, and end up sharing the bath.
