“Don't your wings get tired?” Fibh asked.

“No youngling, we can fly for days on end, without the thought of getting tired. And where are you flying too? With those tiny little wings?” Mrs Albatross ask's, while all the other Albatrosses start laughing at him.

Then all of a sudden. “Move out of my way youngling” said Mrs Albatross in a long drawn out tiresome voice.

And there flying past Fibh were a flock of the BIGGEST birds he had ever seen. “Wow!” Fibh exclaimed. “What kind of birds are you sir?”.

“Sir, who are you calling SIR?.I am a Lady!”.
