To Sketch a Sunbird


Time: 4pm
Location: The Department of English.
Enter the Artist. A thick sketchbook is held firmly in her hand.
She places it on the big table.

Artist: So, you have just started a college blog?
The Heart-Bytes blog team  (in a sheepish tone) : Yes, WE have.
Artist: Well, I'm an artist, and I have some work to show you. See if it can be used for the blog...
HB Team: Please go ahead. We are in fact looking for some artists who can work for the blog.
Artist: Okay have a look then...

Artist: So, what do you say, can it be posted in the blog?
HB Team: It's already posted!
Artist: (Surprised) Really? So fast?!
HB Team: Yes, that's what Heart-Bytes do. You bring your good work here, and we post it fast! 
Artist: (With tears welling up in her eyes) At last an artist gets some respect! Oh, there's some dignity left on earth...
HB Team: No, please don't cry. Just bring more work next week.
Artist: I will (wipes her face and tries to smile)
HB Team: Thank you so much. We'll be in touch with you when we need some illustrations.
Artist: Thank you! I'll be happy to help, any time. Bye for now.
