A Bird Called Swoopy

By PRG Collins

Swoopy is a black and white magpie who lives high up in a gum tree with his Mum and Dad, just near a golf course.
One day when his parents are away finding food, he sees a pretty pink golf ball plop along the green grass below their nest. He flies down, picks it up, and takes it back up into the nest. He hears a man shouting something but doesn't think anything's wrong?
When his parents come home, they tell him it is wrong to take things that don't belong to you, and they push the ball back out of the nest down onto the ground. But the next day, Swoopy sees another ball, and he can't resist! What happens next?
Join Swoopy to learn why stealing is wrong.

With four children under five living on a small farm near Melbourne Australia, Peter respected the need for their careful education and sensible discipline and decided, rather than remember the stories he’d told them the night before, that he would put his stories down in writing. Twenty years later, his stories have now been incorporated into two series of ‘Life Lessons for Kids,’ one based on farm animals, the other on wild animals, and they are still being told by parents and families in the nearby farming community, at local schools and beyond.
