Augustus the Hungry Kitten: (On birds)

"Daniel and I spent ze morning looking out ze vindow. Zer are many vinged creatures of various colors out zer! Ze humanz call zese 'berdz'. I like ze sound of zis vord. I visper it to myself as I vatch zem.

'Berdz...Berdz.' It is great fun to learn new sings!

Zer are small blue berdz vis orange upon zer breast zat frolic in ze tall tower zat has a vatah bowl at its pinnacle. Zey must be quite schtinky to vant to take so many baths! Zey all seem to be good friends and enjoy one anuzzah. I do not understand zis desire to bathe. But I like ze vay zey are not unhappy. Perhaps zer is a lesson in zis for me.

Zer ees also a large jay berdz zat ees blue. He makes horrible schquawks and is a great bully to ze uzzuh berdz. I DO NOT LIKE ZIS BERDZ! And so I shout out to him, 'GO AVAY YOU BULLY OF ZE BERDZ! NO VUN LIKES YOUR CRUEL MANNERS! VEN I AM BIGGUH I VIL PUT YOU IN A STRUDEL AND EAT YOU FOR DESSERT!!!'

My favorites are ze Eastern King Berdz. OH zat name! I LUF IT!! I vant a powerful name such as zis! I vould be ze Midverstern King Kitten! Defender of friends and foods! And efryvun vud know zat I am ze strongest and ze bravest of all! And no vun vud tell me ven to go to bed! And zer vud be food bowls surrounding me all ze day long! Ha HA!!!

Ze last berdz ve saw vas called Robin. He likes to hop about ze yard. At vun point he became engaged in a great tug of war vis a viggly little being who vas trying very much to stay in ze ground! Daniel says ze viggly creature is caller a verm. Daniel is vise and knows many sings! Daniel and I made a wager on who vud vin zis battle. I said ze Robin, but Daniel said ze verm. If Daniel vins, I vil only eat all my food. But if I vin, I vill eat all my food and efryvun else's TOO! So I vas eagerly rooting for ze Robin! In ze end, ze Robin vun...and I vas happy about vinning our bet. But now I do not know how to feel about zis. Should I be sad for ze verm? Or should I rejoice for ze robin's victory?

Alas...zer are many sings to sink on today..."
