COLIN the CONDOR
(Part 2)
by Jeremy Taylor
From then on his daddy brought some more cheese from the bird table every day. Colin ate it all - but still wanted more. "I LOVE cheese!' he said
Now Colin ate cheese and more cheese and more cheese. He grew fatter and fatter and fatter. One day his mummy said to Colin, 'Okay, Colin, today you must fly.'
'Me? Fly?' asked Colin. 'Are you crazy?'
'No, no,' said his daddy. 'You are a big bird now.'
'I'm a very big bird now,' said Colin. 'I eat so much cheese. But I love cheese. I don't want to fly.'
'I'm sorry, Colin, but you must fly today.'
I can't fly!
Colin was very unhappy. He started to cry. 'I can't fly! I'm too fat!'
'That's not true,' said his mummy.
Suddenly there was a big bang, then another bang. A man was shooting at Colin and his parents. 'Quick, Colin, we must fly away!'
'But, but, I can't fly!'
'Yes you can!' said his mummy and pushed baby Colin out of the nest.
