Lisbeth fumbled with the saw, but at least she managed not to drop it this time.
It was heavy in her hand as she raised it to the branch. She braced the saw teeth against the wood, and tried moving the saw back and forth.
The saw slid forward once, then the teeth caught on the wood and it wouldn't move again.
"What the...?" She yanked on the saw, but only managed to pry it free, nearly falling off the ladder in the process. She sighed and tried again, managing to completely miss the first cut. She made a short, stuttering cut, then the saw slipped as the branch wobbled up and down. The next cut was in a completely different place. She couldn't manage to get the teeth to really sink into the wood.
"Am I doing something wrong?" she asked, looking at the bird. Then she realized how dumb the question was. Ray wouldn't be able to speak in that form.
