We’re counting how high we fly in groups of five. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, and then WE REACH SIXTY! Then we saw a blue jay as he was flying by. We asked if he would fly with us and count by five. He said, “Excuse me, sir and madam, but I am just a bird. For me to count by fives, would simply be absurd!” “Is he holding a pin?” We’re in a hot air balloon about to take a dive. We’re counting down to the ground in groups of five. 60, 55, 50, 45, 40, 35, 30, 25, 20, 15, 10, and FINALLY FIVE! We were scared from that ride, but we would not deprive ourselves from finding a safer way to count by five.

Then we saw a bald eagle; he was hunting to survive. We asked him to come along with us and count by five. He said, “I can’t count, but watch out! Don’t step on that BRANCH! If you break it, you might start an AVALANCHE!” “Oh, no! That can’t be good.” We’re at the top of a mountain trying to stay alive.
