Okay, here is my guess:
He is trying to attract something OUT of the tree. Something has made a hole in the tree & is inside the tree & will destroy the tree possibly if left in there. So the man is trying to be careful of not hurting this creature but wants it to come out. Hmmm.....eagerly awaiting.....
Mabey it is a bat?
I would say our pal the woodepecker's actions may have everything to do with Aristotle's causes,except for.. maybe.."habit", although I believe there is enough weirdness in this world to include that too.lol!
Anyway ,all said---I remain confused!SO...whats Mr woodpecker upto?Looking forward to the answer in the next post---the suspense is killing me.Did I mention I have a weak heart?
OK... you've got me. I have no idea. I'll just wait til tomorrow. Hey! Is he getting rid of the bugs that the woodpecker is after??
I haven't a clue! :)
A interesting series though, and I'll tune back in later to see what is going on.
You have me wondering now!!
hi patty, i can feel your eagerness and the definitive want to know. its coming out, but down in 7 steps ...
cheers ! pop-corn ? :)
e2d, habit ? can aristotle be right all the time ? ... yes (here), all of it ! confusion is the feed, for clarity to happen at the end. am sorry about the suspense killing you, without this murder theres no juice !?! a weak heart ? oh my ... this is just the treadmill !... :)
