Wren - King of the birds

Once upon a time, the birds decided they would find out once and for all which of them was the king of the birds.  They settled on a competition, the bird who could fly the highest would be named the king of the birds.
The birds all took flight, flying higher and higher.  The small birds were the first to drop out and it wasn't long until just the birds of prey were left.  Finally , just when there was no flight left in their wings, the birds of prey started to descend, and it was then that a little wren, who was hidden in the eagle's feathers flew  up higher, declaring itself the king of the birds!

The other birds were furious with the wren's trickery and refused to accept the result, so tried to attack the wren.  The wren hid in a burrow until the birds of prey had gone.  To this day, the wrens still hide low in the bushes to avoid the angry birds of prey trying to take its title of the king of the birds.
