Story Details

Ostrich runs, Fast on the sand.

Big strong legs, Across the land.

Ostrich looks, Up to the sky.

Wants to fly, Wonders why.

But wings are small, Can’t flap high.

Ostrich feels sad, Wants to try.

Friends gather round, Birds and bees.

They cheer and shout, “Run with ease!”

Ostrich runs fast, Faster than all.

Jumping high, Having a ball.

Ostrich smiles wide, Happy and free.

Running and playing, Joyful to be.

No need to fly, To feel strong.

Ostrich knows, Where hearts belong.
