The father bird rocked Telemachus the Little Bird in his wings.

With the child asleep, the father bird went out to war.
“I will be back!” he said.

The baby bird awoke and searched for his father.
“Where is my father?”

He looked up. He didn’t see him.
He looked down. He didn’t see him.

"I will go and find him," the baby bird said.

And out to sea he left.

First, he met Nestor the cat.
“Are you my father?” He asked.
“I am not your father” Nestor replied.

Then he met Menelaus the hen.
“Are you my father?”Telemachus asked.
“No,” said the hen.

“I have to find my father!” The little bird exclaimed.

"But where? Where can I find him?

Then he came to a dog. With little hope left, he asked again: “Are you my father?”

“No,” said the dog, “I am not your father. I am your grief.”

The baby bird stopped to think.

Grief the Dog was not his father.

So who was his father?

Just then, the bird was surrounded by mist and a big figure emerged.
“Are you my father?” he asked the big figure.

But the still figure did not respond.
“Oh, you are not my father,” said Telemachus the baby bird.
“You’re a claw. I have to get out of here."

But before he could move, Athena the Claw picked him up.

The baby bird couldn't get away. Athena took him up.

She took him way, way up. And up, up, up he went.

"No, where are you taking me? I want to go home!" the baby bird said.

Little did he know that Athena the Claw was already lowering him right back into his nest.

Just then, the father bird came back.

"I know who you are," said Telemachus.

"You are not a cat or a hen. You are not a dog or a claw."

"You are a bird and you are my father!"
