mole and the baby bird by marjorie

newman illustrated by patrick benson

okay

mole found a baby bird it had fallen out

of its nest

mole waited and waited

but no big bird came to help it

so mole took the baby bird home

[Music]

he made a nest for it

look he said to his

mother it's very very hard to take care

of a baby bird she said

they usually die

said his dad

my bird won't die

said mold

his friends helped him find food for the

baby

his mother showed him how to feed it

mole fed it whenever it chirped

[Music]

and the bird didn't die

it grew

it's my pet bird said moe

it's not a pet bird it's a wild bird

said his mother

the bird fluttered its wings

your bird is trying to fly

said his mother

no

cried mole it mustn't fly

[Music]

mole found some wood and some nails

borrowed his dad's toolbox

[Music]

what are you making asked his dad

i'm making a cage for my pet bird

said mole

it's not a pet bird it's a wild bird

said his dad you should let it fly

no

cried mole

he put his bird into its new cage

the bird was sad

[Music]

mole's mother was sad too

but mole kept his bird

because he loved it

[Music]

then grandad came to visit

he looked at mole's pet bird

presently granddad said

let's go for a walk little mole

[Music]

granddad took mole to the top of a high

hill

[Music]

mole looked down at the trees far below

he felt the wild wind trying to lift him

said granddad

when mole got home he looked at his bird

it was sitting very still in its cage

in mole's dark underground room

birds are meant to fly

said mole

he opened the cage door

and he let his bird fly away

because he loved it

then he cried

the next day mole went into the forest

he saw his bird flying soaring

free

and mole was glad

the end

thank you

[Music]

wow

awesome hippo

what no no no in this magazine a baby

hippo is best friends with an old

tortoise a hippopotamus is friends with

a tortoise yeah

oh

cool what's a tortoise well it's it's a

kind of turtle that lives on the land

yes but hippos mostly live in water oh

and they're friends well yeah you see

there's this big storm and

hey have a look at these pictures oh

okay okay

see this is the hippo

his name's owen

and that see that's mize the tortoise

okay yeah

uh look you're there together

yeah how sweet

once there was a baby hippo

and a herd of hippos

the hippos lived where a river flowed

into the ocean

one day

a huge wave came and washed the hippos

away

except for one baby hippo

who was stranded on a reef

the local people rescued the baby hippo

and brought him to the beach

they named the hippo owen after one of

the rescuers

but what do you do with the baby hippo

who's all alone

you can't put him with other wild hippos

because they won't accept him

so

owen was taken to a nature park where he

was released in a safe place

to be cared for by people who know about

hippos

but he wasn't the only animal there

it was also home to a tortoise named

mize

means wise old man

and he was old

130 years old

from the very first day owen followed

mozay wherever he went

maybe he liked the tortoise because he

was big and round like another hippo

to say he didn't like having a tag along

hippo

but since mize was slow there wasn't

much he could do to get away from owen

after a few days mosai got used to

having owen around

and then

jose began to follow after owen

[Music]

jose even showed owen the leaves he

liked to eat

and owen liked them too

without words

mizei showed owen a way to say

let's go

[Music]

and one day

owen

said it to jose

they went into the water and hung out

together

[Music]

and they took naps together

no one ever could have imagined that

such different animals to become friends

but

they did

you can never tell who will become your

best friend

[Music]

then

that is so cute a tortoise took care of

a hippo and they became friends yeah

yeah i'm pretty nice of that tortoise

don't you think

what

what'd you do that for well it means i

want to go play remember owen and mize

[Music]

if you were

if you were a hippopotamus you'd be born

in africa

in a river

underwater

you'd stay close to your mom for five

years

and live in a big family called a pod

you'd be a late night eater and gobble

100 pounds of grass each night

that's a big salad

during the day

you'd sleep and stay cool

when you were all grown up

you'd weigh

7 000 pounds

as much as 20 super size football

players

and you'd be just as tough

especially when it came to showing off

your big mouth

and going tusk to tusk with your buddies

but you'd be toughest when protecting

your pod

and your stretch of the river

against crocodiles

and even humans

no doubt about it with you

one would not want to fuss

if you were a hippopotamus

flying off the shelf once again it's the

continuing daring and dangling

adventures of cliffhangers

today's adventure number 414

cliffhanger and the amazing hippopotamus

sculpture

[Music]

excuse me

excuse me

we find cliffhanger where we left him

last hanging from a cliff

i can

hold on much longer

suddenly cliff notices a sculptor

creating a huge sculpture on the cliff

face next to him

say that's an amazing sculpture you're

working on there

thank you i call it barra for the hippo

it's a celebration of the eternal bond

of friendship between humans and

hippopotamus

in a flash cliff reaches into his

backpack and extracts his trusty

survival manual

cliff flips it open and begins to read

if you meet a friendly sculptor

ask her to give you a hand

what an awesome idea

say miss sculptor when you're done with

your sculpture would you give me a hand

your timing is flawless i'm just

finishing up my masterpiece and i have

lots of hands left over

enjoy

[Music]

can

hold on much longer

[Music]

i mean that is so cool what are the odds

wow well this magazine has pictures of

other animal friends
