The Bird and The Fish One day, a bird was very hungry. It flew over a river and saw a big fish. "This is my dinner," it thought happily.

The fish said, "I know your father and mother. They sing beautifully!" Again, the bird said nothing. The fish tried again. It said, "I know your brothers and sisters too. They also sing beautifully!" "Mmmm," said the bird, but it did not open its mouth. Then the fish said, "Everyone in your family can sing, but I know that you are the best singer. Please sing for me."
