Are You My Mother?

A mother bird sat on her egg, and her egg jumped. She thought the egg would hatch today and she also thought the bird would want to eat. So off she flew. The egg jumped, and jumped, and jumped, and jumped. And then, out came a baby bird. And he said, “Where is my mother? I must find her.”

He closed his eyes and walked with his eyes closed and then, down, down, down, he fell. He walked right past his mother and didn’t notice her but soon he came to a cat, then a hen, then a dog, then a cow. And they all said, “I’m not your mother.” He called to a car, a boat, a bulldozer, but they were not his mother. The bulldozer dropped him right in his nest and soon his mother came. His mother said, “Do you know who I am?” He said, “Yes, I know who you are, you’re not a cat, or a hen, or a dog, or a cow, or a car, or a boat, or a bulldozer, you are a bird and you are my mother!”
