Chapter 4

Chapter 4 The little blue bird took a deep breath. "I have a really big problem." Dirt and Sugar exchanged glances. "What is it, Weird Blue Chicken?" asked Sugar. "What seems to be your problem?" "It's a bird," answered the little bird. "What does he look like?" asked Dirt. "He's six feet tall," answered the bird. "Are you sure about that?" asked Sugar. "Yes, I'm sure," answered the bird. "Birds don't come in that size," said Sugar. "You must have had a bad dream. I can't help you if your problem is a big bird bad dream." Dirt looked Weird Blue Chicken up and down. "How tall are you?" she asked. "I'm about four feet tall," answered the little bird.

"Ah, I see," said Dirt kindly. "I think you are confusing inches with feet. It's a common mistake. You are about four inches tall." The little bird shrugged. Sugar rolled her eyes. "What else can you tell me about this bird?" asked Dirt. "He's yellow," answered the bird. "Can you be more specific, ma'am?" asked Dirt. "For example, I'm kind of a canary yellow. Sugar is kind of a dandelion yellow. Let me get my crayon box..."

"Pipe down," said Sugar. "Let the chicken talk." The little bird said nothing. "Back to this other bird," said Sugar. Her voice was serious. "You said he was in some kind of trouble." "No" said the little bird. "He is the trouble." "That's odd," said Sugar. "Birds don't usually cause trouble." "Actually, birds cause trouble all the time," said Dirt. "Pipe down!" said Sugar. "Let the chicken talk." The little bird still said nothing.

"What exactly do you think this bird did?" asked Dirt, using her kindest voice. "He kidnapped my house." "That is a very serious accusation, Weird Blue Chicken!" said Sugar. "What kind of proof do you have?" "He's sitting in my house, and he won't leave," answered the little bird. "House-kidnapping is kind of an awkward phrase," said Dirt. "I think we should call it a house-napping." "Pipe down!" said Sugar. "Let the chicken talk." The little bird said nothing. "What makes you so sure it's a bird?" asked Sugar. "I know a bird when I see one," said the little bird.
