“We all look the same.”
“No we don’t.”
“Yes, we do.”
“You can think that if you want,
But I know I don’t look exactly like
you,
Or you, or you, or even you.”
“Oh yeah?”
“Yeah. For instance, I have 574 feathers
On my chest,
And you have 599.
Bubu has 423, and Rala has 854.
So there.
And, all of your beaks are shaped
differently.
Rala has more blue in his eyes than me.”
Bubu, Rala and Jojo looked at each
other.
Jojo even started countin the feathers
on his chest.
His jaw dropped.
“He’s right. We are different; but we
look so much alike
In every other way.”
“It only takes one thing to make us
unique.”
For the rest of the day the birds spent
the hours
Looking in mirrors and checking each
other out.
Silly birds. |
