nce upon a time...
• There were three little birds– A Red Bird– A Yellow Bird and– A Green Bird

One day, the birds were sitting...• …in their nest as their mommy and
daddy birds went to gather worms for dinner, the Red bird said, “Let’s go to the city!”
• The Yellow bird said, “I don’t know.”• The Green bird, didn’t say anything,
because he was afraid of the city.

They ALL decided to fly….…to the city. As they flew, they saw
a picnic bench:
The Green bird saw a banana, and started to eat it.
The YellowYellow bird was eating corn.
The Red bird was eating popcorn.

After they were done eating...…they went to the bird bath to drink
some water.
Then they flew to the city.
![Page 7: The Three Little Birds In the City Written By: Paul Sydney “Mishikwud” Rock Krech Pima/Ojibwe -with- Syd’s Dad (Paul Rock Krech), Ojibwe](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020200/56649d0d5503460f949e2e2a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The three birds saw:
• Skyscrapers• Cars• Streetlights• People• ASU and• Fountain Hills
![Page 8: The Three Little Birds In the City Written By: Paul Sydney “Mishikwud” Rock Krech Pima/Ojibwe -with- Syd’s Dad (Paul Rock Krech), Ojibwe](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020200/56649d0d5503460f949e2e2a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The three birds began to notice...…that they were hungry again. They
thought they saw some bird seed down
on the ground,under a set of steps.So they all flew down there and
began to pick around to find the bird seed.
![Page 9: The Three Little Birds In the City Written By: Paul Sydney “Mishikwud” Rock Krech Pima/Ojibwe -with- Syd’s Dad (Paul Rock Krech), Ojibwe](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020200/56649d0d5503460f949e2e2a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
As they were under the steps...Picking around for seed, the Yellow bird
noticed that a shadow blocked the sunlight quickly, only for a second.
“What was that?” said the Yellow bird.“I don’t know,” said the Red Bird.The Green bird didn’t say anything,
because he was very frightened; he was shaking, and his eyes got very big.
![Page 10: The Three Little Birds In the City Written By: Paul Sydney “Mishikwud” Rock Krech Pima/Ojibwe -with- Syd’s Dad (Paul Rock Krech), Ojibwe](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020200/56649d0d5503460f949e2e2a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Again the shadow came...
• But this time it stayed and the sunlight was blocked out.
• The Yellow bird, now shaking said, “W-w-w-w-hat was that?”
• Both the Red and Green birds said nothing because they were too scared to talk.
• “He’s right behind me isn’t he?” said the Yellow bird.
![Page 11: The Three Little Birds In the City Written By: Paul Sydney “Mishikwud” Rock Krech Pima/Ojibwe -with- Syd’s Dad (Paul Rock Krech), Ojibwe](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020200/56649d0d5503460f949e2e2a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
It was a very hungry looking cat!• The cat tried to pounce on the birds,
but he could not fit under the stairs.• The cat clawed at the birds and
hissed at them.
• The three birds were flapping about and wailing, “Oh save us from the big cat!!!” But all you could hear on the outside were cars, people, and airplanes.
![Page 12: The Three Little Birds In the City Written By: Paul Sydney “Mishikwud” Rock Krech Pima/Ojibwe -with- Syd’s Dad (Paul Rock Krech), Ojibwe](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020200/56649d0d5503460f949e2e2a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Red bird thought, “I really hate the city. I want to go home!”
![Page 13: The Three Little Birds In the City Written By: Paul Sydney “Mishikwud” Rock Krech Pima/Ojibwe -with- Syd’s Dad (Paul Rock Krech), Ojibwe](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020200/56649d0d5503460f949e2e2a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Yellow bird thought...
“Coming to the city was a bad idea!”
![Page 14: The Three Little Birds In the City Written By: Paul Sydney “Mishikwud” Rock Krech Pima/Ojibwe -with- Syd’s Dad (Paul Rock Krech), Ojibwe](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020200/56649d0d5503460f949e2e2a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The Green bird thought...
“Did I leavethe iron pluggedin at home?”
![Page 15: The Three Little Birds In the City Written By: Paul Sydney “Mishikwud” Rock Krech Pima/Ojibwe -with- Syd’s Dad (Paul Rock Krech), Ojibwe](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020200/56649d0d5503460f949e2e2a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The three birds began to cry...
• “Boo hoo, boo hoo, boo hoo: We want to go home!”
• Just then, the sound of thunder was growing.
• The lightning flashed!• The Thunder boomed!!!• Cats are scared of lightning and
thunder; so the cat ran away.
![Page 16: The Three Little Birds In the City Written By: Paul Sydney “Mishikwud” Rock Krech Pima/Ojibwe -with- Syd’s Dad (Paul Rock Krech), Ojibwe](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020200/56649d0d5503460f949e2e2a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Then it began to rain.
• Just a little at first, but as time went on, it rained harder,
• and harder.
• Then the wind whipped up and it got cold too.
![Page 17: The Three Little Birds In the City Written By: Paul Sydney “Mishikwud” Rock Krech Pima/Ojibwe -with- Syd’s Dad (Paul Rock Krech), Ojibwe](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020200/56649d0d5503460f949e2e2a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The Yellow bird said:• “We better get out from under
these steps,” as he saw the water begin to rise.
• They flew up through the rain, the thunder, the lightning, and the wind to just under the eaves of a roof…They were exhausted.
• The three birds fell asleep like this:
![Page 18: The Three Little Birds In the City Written By: Paul Sydney “Mishikwud” Rock Krech Pima/Ojibwe -with- Syd’s Dad (Paul Rock Krech), Ojibwe](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020200/56649d0d5503460f949e2e2a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The next morning...
• The birds woke up to the sounds of the city going to work.
• They heard, cars, people talking, babies, planes, trains, sirens, and the sun was shining on a world that was becoming a little drier than the night before.
• “Are you awake?” asked the Green bird.
![Page 19: The Three Little Birds In the City Written By: Paul Sydney “Mishikwud” Rock Krech Pima/Ojibwe -with- Syd’s Dad (Paul Rock Krech), Ojibwe](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020200/56649d0d5503460f949e2e2a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
“I’m awake,”
• said the Yellow bird.• “I’m awake too,” said the Red bird.• “Me too,” said the Green bird as he
yawned.• And the birds all woke up, shook
their tail-feathers, and began to flap and stretch about up under that roof.
![Page 20: The Three Little Birds In the City Written By: Paul Sydney “Mishikwud” Rock Krech Pima/Ojibwe -with- Syd’s Dad (Paul Rock Krech), Ojibwe](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020200/56649d0d5503460f949e2e2a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The birds decide to fly home.• But they wound up flying in circles
because they lost their way home.
• They found the bird bath…
• And then they found the picnic bench

And they found their way home.
