Biography

This was my Grandpa Cooper. When I was 5 years old, we went to a zoo. I was looking around and noticed this big bird following me down the sidewalk, some kind of rooster, I think. Anyway, I walked faster to get away and the bird followed faster; the quicker I went, the closer that bird got. Finally I screamed and ran to my grandpa. He picked me up and he kicked that old bird away from me. Yep, my grandpa saved my life that day! And you can bet I never forgot it!
