    One day an eagle met a seagull at the beach. The eagle thought it was bigger and stronger than the seagull. "I can fly higher than you. I'm the strongest bird in the sky. Let me show you around my country." it said.

    “Thank you. That's very kind of you." said the seagull.

    The eagle and seagull flew for an hour over a thick jungle. They could see many different animals and plants.

    “Look! This is the biggest jungle in my country. Is it big?" asked the eagle.

    “Yes, it's huge," said the seagull.

    Half an hour later they flew over a high mountain. This is the most beautiful place in my country, said the eagle. It's the highest mountain. The most dangerous animals live here.

    “It's fantastic!" said the seagull.

    The eagle wanted to see the seagull's country. “If you're not too tired, can you show me your home?" it said.

    “Yes. Sure! ”I'm not tired.”Said the seagull. They flew off over the sea. After five hours, the eagle was very tired.

    “Are you near your home yet?" it said.

    “Oh, no. It's still a long way sway," said the seagull. "This is only the beginning of the ocean!”
