This picture is very beautiful, full of bright colours. The sun has risen and everyone has woken up. The story is set in Africa where it is hotter than in Britain. In front of the mountains there are lots of birds - lovely pink ones called flamingos, very smart black and white ones called storks. They are tall birds, but nowhere near as big and as heavy as Ostrich. They all have elegant long thin legs, some are standing on the edge of a shallow lake waiting to catch fish. Some are flying away, while others come in to land. Our hero, the ostrich, is standing on dry land, his friend the sparrow is sitting on his head!
