The Heron

The heron, a proud, long-legged bird, walked to the river near his nest. It was nearly time for breakfast. He eyed the water.

Today was his lucky day. There were so many fish swimming there! He would have his pick of food.

First, a school of little minnows swam by.

"Oh, a minnow just won't do," said the heron. "It's much too small."

Next, a perch swam past the heron.

"No!" he said. "A fish of that size isn't fit for a bird like me."

It got later, and the sun climbed higher in the sky. Soon most of the fish moved into deeper water. After a while, there were

no more fish where the heron stood. By now he was very hungry. He could wait no longer to eat, but all he could find was a

tiny snail
