You won't believe what just happened! It all started yesterday when I got bored so I started playing 'Chasey' with some cockatoos. I was 'it' so I was running after this one cockatoo called Jeff. Once I got close to the group of squawking birds, they flew up in a gum tree. "No fair! I still haven't learnt to fly yet!" I shouted. "Fly? You idiot! Emus don't learnt to fly they just can't" Jeff chuckled. Soon all the birds were laughing their feathers off at me. "Can't? What do you mean?" I yell. Jeff flew down and perched on the lowest branch. "Emus can't fly it's physically impossible!" I was quite confused at his statement. Jeff, noticing I have know idea what he's talking about begins saying "There are many ways you sort of bird can't fly but the main reason is because you have such little wings that cannot lift such a heavy object like your body." The group of cockatoos flew away leaving me speechless. "Can't fly? I shall go ask I mother," I say to myself. "She'll know if it's true or not." Guess what? It was true. I was super sad that I would never be able to fly so I never played with those cockatoos again. "Honey, it's ok. Many birds can't fly. Like the chicken or the ostrich. Don't be sad." My mum said to me. I ruffled my feathers, hung my head and continued the day trying to blink back the tears of sadness. Then I noticed a familiar face in a tree. "Hey! Fly I can! From this tree I will jump! Emus can fly I'll show you that! Hurt myself I will not! Watch me Andy!" Sorry for my idiot brother's bad English. "No!" I shout. But it's too late. He falls and hits the ground. I close my eyes. I think he's dead. "Not dead I am! Andy! Fly I did! See that did you?" Great. He's not dead. I nod my head and walk away. I feel very sad.

I hope you didn't cry at my sad entry. Hopefully it will get happier. -Andy
