Soaring in the Sky
Lola · Age 8 · Dublin
When I heard the theme for this competition, I thought about the 2020 lockdown when I was home from school and a golden crowned kinglet came to the tree outside our house.
We didn’t know what type of bird it was, so we looked it up. We came across a story about a flying competition that was held among all the birds to see who could fly highest.
Every bird thought that the eagle would win, then an idea popped into the golden kinglet’s head. He hopped onto the eagle's back and as the eagle got tired, the golden kinglet flew off his back and higher than the eagle.
