Friends in unexpected places

I am so mad.  There is a bird on my head.  It will not get off.  I can't do a thing about it.  Every day I wait to see if it comes and of course it comes.

So one day I said, "Hey, bird, why don't you go find another gargoyle." 

"No, never" said the bird.

It got dark and the bird left.  The next morning that little bird came back. 

The bird said, "I love the view."

"Me, too!" said the Gargoyle.  "So we are friends?"

"Friends", said the bird.
