magpies

An injured magpie and a one-eyed dog live happily together in the forest, until a jealous fox arrives to teach them what it means to be alone.

An English folktale adaptation set in the U.S., in which Magpie patiently explains to the other birds how to build a nest but is not heeded by some impatient ones, who fly off without listening to the directions. Includes extension activities.
