Sterling Pick cannot believe his good fortune. He watches patiently from the pier as Mr. McNeely from Farwell heads his way with a tray full of crab cake sandwiches. He knows the best moment to snatch a crab cake right out of the bun will be the moment Mrs. McNeely holds that new digital camera in front of her sunburned face. No doubt she can’t resist snapping a picture of a handsome seagull, looking remarkably tame as he perches just inches away! To Sterling’s delight, three children waddle in flip-flops behind the bemused couple. If he plays his cards right, there will be French fries, too.
Here’s hoping you’re as happy as a seagull with a crab cake.

Too cute! I hear a MG novel in that little story. And I'm not talking J. Livingston Seagull either, who said, "There must be more to life than a fishhead." Obviously Sterling already knows that.
Thanks a lot. Now I MUST FIND CRABCAKES!
YUM!
Great little story...he looks like he has a belly full of crabcakes and fries all ready...grin...
Great story! Love it! - Janelle
Hum...I make salmon patties (aka salmon cakes) but I have never made crab cakes - don't know why...
Oh, maybe it's the price...that lucky seagull
Sounds like a decent life...all that fresh seafood...
Of course, I made myself hungry for crabcakes and fries, too!
I don't like crab cakes, but I do like seagulls and your fun story! Is this from something you're working on, or just for fun?
Reminds me a bit of the scene in Finding Nemo, where all the seagulls want to eat the fish and keep saying, "Mine! mine! MINE! Mine! mine!"
Sruble - That scene in Finding Nemo cracks me up every time!
This story was just for fun - I've eaten where pretty much that exact scenerio happens, but luckily never to me.
