And then something magical happened. Bird could suddenly
understand some English words. Up to then he could only
understand Bird language and the word bird. He had been
taken to school, it was his first day and he was learning already.
Although Bird couldn’t speak he made signing actions with
his wings and tweets and squawks with his beak to answer
the children’s questions as best he could. He enjoyed his first
day at school and thought to himself: “I’m learning such a lot
already. I wonder if the teachers can teach me to fly again!”
“What an adventure!” Bird thought to himself.
