"Let them go. I can easily catch-up with them. It will only take 2 minutes to reach them anyway. My Mom and Dad are not even looking for me now. I'll join them before they find that I was missing in the first place."
"But Wait, there's a man there. He is holding a stick too! Is it worth it to take risk? If I get caught, then it'll be real difficult for me to get out from there.
Can I sneak in and out without getting caught?
That's a possibility!
Is he facing this way or that?
I can't really tell from this far."
"Let me look for other problems.. there doesn't seem to be anybody else nearby. What if they come suddenly? Ah.. that's okay, I should be able to get out easily - after all, I am swifter than the remaining group!
Then why am I lagging?
Forget it.. I am fast!!!"
"Oh! Mom just looked at me; Does she know I am trying to sneak out? Let me stay close for a moment lest Dad also looks for me..."
"Now, I think it is safe to leave. They are convinced that I am with them, but what about the man with the stick? He must have seen so many like me and he can easily catch me unless I take off from there as soon as I am satisfied with my adventure."
"Okay.. here I go..."

And the bird flew down to the field below to get few grains. Its maiden adventure to the fields! It reached back safely to the group in 2 minutes.
Oh, the man with the stick? It was a scare-crow!
