In Old Town Riga

There is a statue of a chicken standing on top of a cat, standing on top of a dog, standing on top of a mule.  
Only the chicken looks happy.  
A lone fragile old woman, pink pants, pink striped sweater, multi-coloured knitted scarf wrapped around her thin neck to ward off a chill, carrying a cane in her bent arm, approaches the statue on unsteady legs.  
She pulls an iPhone out of her purse.  
With a shaking hand, she carefully takes three photographs of the statue from different angles, replaces the phone in her purse.  
She pushes the tip of her cane against the cobblestones, pushing a bit to test them.  
Her mission accomplished, she slowly wanders off.
