It was time to migrate. All the storks were ready to migrate. For young Peele, it was her first winter journey. She was ready and her feathers smoothed down to help her get through the long flight. Her mother said, “If you get tired, let me know!” But Peele had made up her mind that she was going to be at the very front of the line of storks! But soon, a terrible thunderstorm broke out. A very frightened Peele took shelter under her mother’s wing. Soon, it started snowing making it difficult for the birds to see their way. Peele realized that she would have to fly many more long journeys before she could even think of leading the flight. And there were many more years left for that.
