Ryan's dad has a big farm next to Christine's parents' farm. One evening in July there is a big storm. Early next morning Ryan knocks on Christine's door. “Get up, Christine,”he shouts. “ Let's go treasure hunting on the beach.” Christine gets up quickly and they go to the beach to look for shells and other beautiful things. Suddenly Christine shouts, ”Look there's something in that net over there.” Ryan runs over and they find a small bird in the net. The bird is black and white, with orange legs, and it has an orange and black bill. “What sort of bird is that?” says Ryan. “I don't know,” Christine answers. They run back to Christine's farm and show the beautiful bird to Christine's dad. “It's a young puffin,” he tells them. “Puffins hunt for fish in the water. They can fly and they are very good at swimming. There were lots of puffins on the island, but now there aren't many.”
