So where were we? Ahh yes. So as soon as the pelican charged I did what any brave bird would do. I ran like crazy! Tony squawked in anger and the two Pelicans flew after me. The crowd got in to the action aswell. I opened the door to the foyer and started to look frantically for a place to hide. I ducked under the desk of the administration bird. She was a jolly penguin with a wig on her head and a necklace of flowers. She looked as if she came just came back from Hawaii. "Andrew! What do you think you are doing?" She asked in a low tone voice. I pointed to the group of birds that just ran in from outside. "Oh I see. A game of hide and seek? Very well then, continue." The flock rushed over to the penguin. "Excuse me Miss Iceberg, but have you seen Andy Ozz?" Tony asked. Miss Iceberg chuckled. As she did, a flower from her necklace landed on my beak. I sneezed. Whoops. The Pelicans and Tony saw me. "There he is!" A green bird named Olivia yelled. Olivia flew up and landed on the desk. "Let's get him!" I ran out of the foyer and back into the courtyard. Olivia soon caught up to me along with the other birds. I ran around the side of the building and into the backyard. There was a big fountain, two or so trees and a track to practice flying in a straight line. I ducked into the track and started to run. I put one leg first then the next. I felt so alive and free, even though I was being chased by a flock of angry birds. It was like everything went in slow motion. I was running so fast. The group of birds were far of in the distance behind me. Now I finally realised that my legs have a purpose! Well apart from that I can stand. Mum will be so proud of me! The group never caught up. I jumped over the boundary of the racetrack and ran back into the courtyard. All the birds still eating watched in awe as I ran into the foyer. "RONALD! RONALD!" I called as I rushed into my room. The little kiwi toddled into my room with a badge stuck to his chest. "What-what is it?" He said. "MY LEGS HAVE A PURPOSE!  I'M ONE OF THE FASTEST BIRDS ALIVE!" Ronald looked at me, surprised. Just then the flock of birds flew into the room. "You still owe the Pelicans a wrestling match!" Tony said angrily. "Not anymore! I'm on a one way ticket back to Australia! I don't need to fly, I shall run everywhere!" I said as I ran back out of the room. Ronald followed me into the foyer and we sat down. "What do you mean you are leaving and going back to Australia?!" Ronald asked. "Well listen here Ronald. I was so sad I wouldn't be able to fly so I went to flight school to change that. But I realised you can't change who you are. I finally except that I can't fly. But instead I was created with these beautiful legs and the ability to run like the wind." I looked at Ronald to see his reaction. His face was sad and his feathers drooped. He looked as if he was going to cry.  "What's wrong, buddy?" I asked. "If you go, I will have no friends..." He said quietly.
Uh oh! Poor Ronald. Find out what happens to him in the next entry! - Andy
