King of Birds
The birds disagree about who should rule them and settle on a contest to fly highest. A very small competitor uses a surprising shortcut, leaving the others furious. King of Birds is a folktale about ambition and disputed rules. Ask whether your child thinks the contest was fair and how the birds could choose a leader differently.
