Once upon a time, a man had a wonderful parrot. There was no other parrot like it. The parrot
could say every word, except one word. The parrot would not say the name of the place where it
was born. The name of the place was Catano.
The man felt excited having the smartest parrot, but he could not understand why the parrot
would not say Catano. The man tried to teach the bird to say Catano; however the bird kept not
saying the word.
At first, the man was very nice to the bird, but then he got very angry. “You stupid bird”
pointed the man to the parrot. “Why can’t you say the word ? Say Catano! Or I will kill you” the
man said angrily. Although he tried hard to teach, the parrot would not say it. Then the man got so
angry and shouted to the bird over and over. “ Say Catano or I’ll kill you.” The bird kept not saying
the word Catano.
One day after he had been trying so many times to make the bird say Catano, the man really got
very angry. He could not bear it. He picked the parrot and threw it into the chicken house. There
were four old chikens for next dinner. “you are as stupid as the chickens. Just stay with them.” Said
the man angrily. Then he continue to humble. “you know, I will cut the chicken for my meal. Next
it will be your turn, I will eat you too, stupid parrot.” After that he left the chicken house.
The next day, the man came back to the chicken house. He opened the door and was very
surprised. He could not believe what he saw at the chickens on the floor. At the moment, the parrot
was standing proudly and screaming at the last old chicken. “Say Catano or I’ll kill you.”

Birds have a body ‘designed’ for flight. Their bones are light, with spaces full of air, body tapered.
They have powerful muscles to move their wings, and breastbone like a ship’s prow to cut through
the air! Their wings are specially shaped, and like the tail, have feathers of many shaped and
textures, according to their job. Birds’ flight can be gliding or beating. In the gliding ,flight, the bird
slides through the air, wings stretched out, quite still, carried by current of air. In beating flight, the
bird moves its wings like oars, using its tail like a rudder to change to changes direction.
Most birds take off almost vertically from land or water, body straight and wings beating quikly.
Once in the air, it leans its body forward and the wings beat more sloly. For landing, the movements
are reversed-straightening its body and beating its wings quickly before landing.
