A Stork's Journey Page #3

Synopsis: Orphaned at birth and raised by storks, the teenage sparrow Richard believes he is one of them. But when the time comes to migrate to Africa, his stork family is forced to reveal his true identity and leave him behind in the forest, since he is not a migratory bird and would not survive the journey. Determined to prove he is a stork after all, Richard ventures south on his own. But only with the help of Olga, an eccentric owl with an imaginary friend and Kiki, a narcissistic, disco-singing parakeet, does he stand a chance to reach his goal and learn to accept who he really is.

Ha! Shows what you know.

My dad's leader of the flock.

Sounds like Daddy issues to me.

Oh, yeah, Oleg?

So, why isn't he

with his flock then? Hm?

Dad never believed in me.

Said I'd never make it.

Oh! I see!

Well, when you're not wanted,

you're better off on your own.

- Right, Oleg?

- Wrong!

I belong with my flock!

I'll catch up with them.

And when I get there, my Dad

will see that I am a stork!

You're very weird.

I? I am weird?

O-kay.

Have fun with your...

"friend" or whatever.

I'll go find my family.

Hold your horses!

South is that way!

Pfft! Thanks, but we storks

know how to navigate.

Fine! Go, stork boy!

Ever seen a crazy bird like that?

What do you mean, we're alike?

"Not a stork"? I'll show her!

Okay...

They went south, and south is this way!

No.

No, south is that way.

Uh... Or maybe this?

Mom? Dad?!

Hi, there.

Oh!

This is bad. This is really bad!

Out of the way!

Oh!

- What are those things?

- Hungry!

Follow us if you want to live!

I'm right behind you.

- I'm gonna catch you.

- Wait for us!

Olga! Ah!

Oh!

Get down!

I see you!

Wait! I got...

Oh, no, you don't!

Surprise!

Whoa!

That won't shake them off for long.

Get up, you two! He's getting away!

- What now?!

- The light!

We have to get closer to the light!

- Got it!

- Wait!

Yow!

Not that close!

They went over this way!

Hey, bats!

What are you doing?!

- Hey! Let me go!

- You miss us?

Looking for a tasty sparrow?

- Yeah!

- Very yummy!

Stork, you crazy owl!

- Aah!

- Olga!

Woo-hoo!

Awesome!

I mean... ahem.

It's not like I needed any help.

Mm-hmm. Right...

See? This is what you get

for being nice.

Big Bird here can take care of himself.

Let's go chase some mice!

Eh?

Olga! Wait! Olga?

Heh. You're still here?

Oh, we thought you'd be

in Africa by now.

Eh, I was thinking...

Since we storks aren't nocturnal, and

you can see in the dark and all that...

um, maybe you could, you know, guide me?

Only until dawn, of course!

Hmm. Do we look like

bird-sitters to you? No way!

No, Oleg!

And don't give me the evil eye!

Time to go home.

Man, I hate your do-goodery!

Ugh! We'll play nice.

- Great, Olga!

- Thank Oleg.

I'm doing this for him.

Come on, stork boy!

I'm Richard, by the way.

He hasn't spoken since we left.

Max will grow from this.

We did the right thing for Richard.

I hope he's all right.

Don't worry.

I'm sure he's found

some sparrows by now.

Huh?

What?

Where... where are we?

What's going on?

Oh, stop laughing!

- Hey, Olga!

- I'm not fat!

Hey, Olga! Wake up!

Breathe!

It's okay. Oh.

- Eww!

- Nice one.

- What's for breakfast?

- What was that?

Never seen a pellet before?

It's a little of this, little of that.
