LESSON 14: BRING THE TEXT TO LIFE
Roadrunner
The animals were displeased with their protector. They proclaimed that Roadrunner would not be able to defend them. He was not nimble and he was not quick. “I’ll never get it right,” Roadrunner moaned. “Yes, you will,” Desert Woman predicted. So Roadrunner prepared. And with time, he was swirling and swirling like a twister. The clumsy bird had transformed into a graceful dancer. He raced down the road until his sharp eyes detected Rattlesnake. Roadrunner ruffled his feathers and twirled in circles. He pecked at Rattlesnake’s tail. Rattlesnake grew dizzy. “You win!” the serpent cried. The people were delighted. “Now everyone is free to come and go,” Roadrunner declared.
