PELICAN PARTIES

81 call lots of things parties said
young Peter Pelican. Il even call it a
party to be a pelican! Now some birds
are 50 ordinary but not a pelican.
"A pelican IS unusual. Perhaps some
creatures IRE glad that there are not
more queer ones like ourselves about.
But If they are l do not agree with
them.
Il think it is nice to have lots of
pelicans about. From my pelican point
of view no creatures are so interesting.
1--WE are different looking. We have
such long, long golden brown bills or
beaks-one apiece Of course you under
stand.
Then we have beautiful white feath-
ers and we're dressy and important
looking.
Our long, long bills are so un-
usual. Now some animals and some
people look so much alike. You can't
telfsthem apart very well. But there
is no installing a pelican.
You might see two little birds be-
longing to quite different families and
you would moi be able TO tell which
one belonged to which family.
You might forget the family name
or you might forget which family Of
birds it was which looked that way,
but pelican is a family name not easily
forgotten and pelican looks are full Of
distinction and difference.
you wouldn't say. oh dear, is that
a pelican or Is 1t a robin or is 1t a
blue bird or is it a canary or Is 1t an
eagle?' =

I am white now. OF course the brown
pelicans are brown still! That Is why
they have that family name. They're
handsome birds, too.
Maybe you will think it is eoneeited
of me to say that they are handsome
birds. too, but l cannot help but think
I'm handsome. And I'm really not
conceited about it as | give credit TO
the pelican family in general, and not
to myself in particular, for my beauty.
''They, too, have good appetites. Now
| call mealtime a party. | think all
pelicans do. We enjoy our food. We
shave big stomachs and our stomachs
can hold a lot.
THAT is the way l think stomachs
should be. l think it would be very
sad TO look at food n wanted to eat
and not be able to eat it because ones
stomach could not hold any more.
Il wouldn't call it a party if such
a thing happened to me. l can eat all
l want to eat.
Then l call il a party when 1 swim.
Swimming is such fun. l swim so
easily for my nice, g-enerous-sized
webbed feet can help get me through
the water mighty quickly.
I'm like a person who hurries out
to the market before everything gets
snapped up and l am even superior to
such a person for l would hurry along
SO fast that my market couldn't get
away from me. l call mealtime a
splendid party.
Then When We have a nice island
home I call { a party home for so
many of Us In}ke a home together. We
live in big colonies, you may know or
you may not know. And in case you
do not know l am telling you. If you
do know ! hope you won't mind hearing
this bit of Jews again.
you've doubtless heard other bits
Of news more than once in your life
and so YOU can again. And to hear a
bit of pelican news twice is interesting.
To hear a bit Of gossip twke is not
interesting because my news is true
and gossip is not true; gossip is Cos
sip. There you have a good pelican
explanation for gossip
I cas- It a party when we decide
we'd Ike to travel and settle for
awhile somewhere else. We aren't so
fun of local pride that We won't see
the whole world if we so wish it.
AT least we will go %a-traveling and
lots of us Will suddenly decide upon
it and we Will be off, going toward
what we have decided will be u new
home. But at thespresent moment am
sleepy and every good pelican sleeps
after eating. I've had a good meal just
recently. Yes. I must sleep for all the
other pelieans are now asleep. l call
an after-meal sleep a pelican party,
too"
