She walked around the forest and asked for the other animals' help to get revenge on that big old bird. When she was walking, Mr Toad saw her and screamed “Hello, Ms Quail, where are you going?”. Mommy quail was super happy when Mr. Toad asked her very nicely because she could ask for Mr. Toad’s help.

She told Mr Toad about what happened and Mr Toad called the big old bird.

“Mr. Stork! Why did you step on the baby bird and kill him?” said Mr Toad.

“I ran very quickly and stepped on the baby bird because Mr Heron pulled out his sword” replied the big old bird.

Mr Heron heard that so he blamed it on Mr. Cormorant. Mr Cormorant said it was because of Mr. Chicken. Mr Chicken blamed Mr pelican and Mr Pelican blamed Mr Stork.
