On a hot day Eagle crawls out of his egg. His nest slides into the cold water. The sun is shining and the ice keeps melting. But the other animals are not worried about the rising water. ‘We’ll just build a dam’, says Wildebeest. ‘Mind your own business’, hisses Snake. ‘I’m sure I’ll manage to keep my head above the water’, Giraffe jokes. What will Eagle do now?
