This is so cute. I think it's a coconut that's being carried but it looks worried. LOL! Adorable.

Cute! What is the story behind this card?

It’s from Monty Python and the Holy Grail where some men are talking about someone came to be with coconuts and mentioned swallows:

Guard: Are you suggesting that coconuts migrate?
King Arthur: Not at all. They could be carried.
Guard: What? A swallow carrying a coconut?
King Arthur: It could grip it by the husk!
Guard: It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.

lol! It's been far too long since I've seen that movie, I forgot all about that. All I remember is the clip clopping of horses with the coconuts.
