A Stork's Journey Page #4

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.

You don't really wanna know.

What are we doing on this thing?

I belong in the air!

Um, excuse me?

Who had to fall asleep mid-flight?

I... I... Hm.

Exactly! Now chill.

This thing took us further overnight

than you could've ever flown.

Oh, yeah? Then where's my family?

If you really wanna know...

What are you talking about?

Just saying...

They don't look anything like me.

- Wow!

- Wow!

- You're friends with an owl?

- Not friends!

What?!

Hi! I've never seen you before.

A bunch of tourists just dumped

these tasty travel snacks.

You guys hungry?

I don't eat trash. I hunt and fish.

- Oh...

- Suit yourself!

- What brings you to France?

- Get this!

He's going south, chasing his flock!

But... we don't migrate.

What kind of sparrow are you?

I... I... I am a stork!

- Wow. Huh?

- Hmm!

Don't take it personal.

He's a late bloomer.

Oh...

Poor things! Just wanted to say hi.

No, thanks. Yeesh, so pushy!

They're sparrows!

Pushy is their middle name.

Can we get back to my family?

Maybe we're close enough

to catch their scent by now.

Talk about being pushy, right, Oleg?

- Wait! You found them?

- Ooh!

Go, Olga, go!

Wait, this can't be right!

Ah... what?

Mein Hawk-Burger just flew away.

What are you doing?

Great, just great, Olga.

My family could be

right around the corner

and you're busy stuffing your beak!

First things first, Oleg.

This stuff's magical!

- Comment!

- Like!

Huh?

Fine, stay here.

But, Oleg, all this delicious stuff!

All right, all right!

Hey, guys? Hey! Listen, you...

- Aah!

- Have! You! Seen!

A! Flock! Of! Storks!

Aaah! Ouch!

What was that?

A sparrow just tried to hack me!

Fail! What a troll.

I'm a stork, got that?

Not according to the Chick-a-pedia.

- Ha ha ha. LOL!

- Like!

- Hello? Someone there?!

- So, what's up?

They must have fried their bird brains.

Like!

I'm wasting my time.

Hmmm, I think I see how this works.

- Love! Unfriend!

- Loading!

Oh, what could possibly go wrong, Oleg?

All you gotta do...

Olga?!

Suddenly I feel so...

Connected!

- Huh?

- OMG, an online owl.

Olga! Can I friend you?

- Me too! Me too!

- Me too! Me too!

Uh... Sure! Wow!

Six new friend requests already!

- This is fun, Oleg!

- Ask them, Olga!

Oh, oh, oh, right!

Seen a flock of storks around?

Storks? Non. Maybe someone else has.

I'll check Facebeak.

Aha!

A friend of a friend

of a cousin's friend,

- who I've actually blocked...

- Stalker!

...says he spotted the storks

on their way to Gibraltar.

Gibraltar! How do I get there?

Shortest route or fewest wind farms?

Never mind.

I'll send Olga the coordinates...

Ah!

- Recalculating...

- Great! Let's go!
