A lifesaving football

While passing through a village today, I noticed two little boys waving at our vehicle. They both had catapults in their hand which is commonly used to hit birds. They were shouting something which was unclear. When the vehicle stopped, they were surprised. Scared perhaps with apprehension. 

After a little small talk about their school and education, I gave them a Football with a caveat that they will not shoot down birds anymore. They were happy for getting a Football. I was happy too, hoping that the other side of the deal will be kept. That the glorious flights won’t end. That the melodious chirpings would continue.
