Bird Flies South

“ Winter won't be fun without Bird, ” thought Kip. “ I'll write a note to her. ”

“ Dear Bird, Please don't go. Sledding won't be fun without you. Ice-skating won't be fun either. Your friend, Kip. ”

“ I'm sorry, Kip, ” said Bird. “ But I have to fly south. It's what birds do. ”

Kip sang a song to Bird. “ Bird! Oh, Bird! I wish that you'd stay! We could play in the snow every day! ”

“ I'm sorry, Kip, ” said Bird. “ But I have to fly south. It's what birds do. ”

Bird was getting ready to leave. “ I have something for you, ” said Kip. “ It's my lucky acorn. ”
