And he dearly loves to do it. You know, there is a story that the reason he has no feathers on his head is because his gPeat-great ever-sogreat-grandfather, who lived way back in the days when the world was young, once flew so high that the sun scorched the feathers on his head, dnd so no Buzzard since has ever worn feathers on his head. Of course this is only a story, but it shows how the Buzzards have always been con sidered wonderful fliers. The first time the little people of the Green Forest and the Oreen Meadows saw an airplane they mis took It for a new kind of bird, a giant bird, and it filled them with great fear. But It hadn’t taken them long to discover it wasn't a bird at all. but something made by man, and then, in a measure, they lost their fear of it.
