"Po... Po... Po... Po... Po... Po... Po..."
I didn't know what it was and it was hard to figure out where it was coming from. It sounded almost like somebody was making the noise themselves... as if they were just saying, "Po...Po... Po..." over and over again in a deep, masculine voice.
I was looking around, searching for the source of the noise when I suddenly noticed something on top of the tall hedges that enclosed the backyard. It was a straw hat. It wasn't resting on the hedge, it was behind it. That's where the sound was coming from.
"Po... Po... Po... Po... Po... Po... Po..."
Then, the hat began to move, as if someone was wearing it. The hat stopped at a small gap in the hedge and I could see a face peering through. It was a woman. But, the hedges were high... almost 8 feet tall...
I was surprised at how tall the woman was. I wondered if she was wearing stilts or some sort of huge high heeled shoes. Then, a split second later, she walked off and the strange noise disappeared with her, fading into the distance.
