The Goose Story

Next Fall, when you see Geese heading South for the Winter....
flying along in a "V" formation...
you might consider what Science has discovered:
As each bird flaps its Wings,
it creates an Uplift for the bird immediately Following.
By flying in "V" formation
the whole flock adds at least 71% greater flying range,
than if each bird flew on its own.

PEOPLE WHO SHARE A COMMON DIRECTION
 AND SENSE OF COMMUNITY
CAN GET WHERE THEY ARE GOING MORE QUICKLY AND EASILY
BECAUSE THEY ARE TRAVELLING
ON THE THRUST OF ONE ANOTHER.

When a goose falls out of Formation
it suddenly feels the Drag and Resistance
of having to go it alone....
and quickly gets back into Formation
to take Advantage
of the lifting power of the bird in front.

IF WE HAVE AS MUCH SENSE AS A GOOSE
WE WILL STAY IN FORMATION
WITH THOSE
WHO ARE HEADED THE SAME WAY WE ARE.

When the Head Goose gets tired it rotates back in the Wing...
and another goose flies Point.

IT IS SENSIBLE TO TAKE TURNS DOING DEMANDING JOBS
WITH PEOPLE OR WITH GEESE FLYING SOUTH

Geese honk from behind to Encourage those up Front to keep up their Speed.

WHAT DO WE SAY WHEN WE HONK FROM BEHIND?

Finally....and this is important, when a goose gets sick,
or is wounded by Gunshots,
and falls out of Formation,
two other Geese fall out with that goose and follow it down
 to lend Help and Protection.
They stay with the Fallen Goose until it is able to fly or until it Dies;
and only then do they launch out on their own
or with another Formation to catch up with their Group.

IF WE HAVE THE SENSE OF A GOOSE
WE WILL STAND BY EACH OTHER LIKE THAT.
