When he thought he had cried long

about him. On the next stack sat
great big bird-larger than any olrd

I'm a turkey buzzard, said the
bird. And with two easy flaps OF his
enormous wings it landed on the top
Of Archibalds stack.

,'Why don't You turn around and

The bird answered as quickly:
That easier said than dona.
How would you fly south if you di!n'f
