Nicky and the Swan

One fall day my mom and I were doing some yard work. Nick was tied out watching us. I suddenly noticed a swan getting out of the water. Usually they don't get out of the water unless someone throws bread down. This swan not only got out of the water but he started walking right towards us. It was really strange I had never seen one venture past the river edge. Nicky
was curious he just stood there watching the swan's approach. I was getting freaked out. The swan got close enough to hiss at Nicky and then Nicky started barking. I grabbed Nicky and tried to shoo the swan away but he just stood there. We actually ran into the house until he finally went back to the water. It was pretty freaky and funny at the same time.
