ran about four houses down from mine and one day, while my friends and i were splashing in the water, terrorizing the crayfish and frogs, i happened to spy a funny kind of fruit hanging from a low branch. on further inspection, the fruit turned out to be a sleeping bat, wings neatly folded around its little body. hoping it was a vampire bat, because how cool would that be? i immediately ran home, got an old bird cage, and transferred the animal inside. it was easier than you'd think; i just brought the cage up around the bat, and gently slid the door shut, forcing it to let go
