Chapter 1: Fast Feet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\n

Eddie the Emu<\/strong> was very good at running. He had long, strong legs. When Eddie ran, the dust puffed up behind him. He could run faster than a bicycle! But sometimes, Eddie looked up and sighed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Chapter 2: The Galahs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

High in a tall tree, a group of pink and grey galahs were sitting. They were singing a noisy song. Then, WHOOSH!<\/em> They all flew off together. They went up, up, up into the blue sky.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Eddie looked at his small, fluffy wings. “If they can fly, maybe I can, too!” he thought. He ran to the top of a little hill. He flapped his wings as hard as he could. FLAP! FLAP! FLAP!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Chapter 4: Back on the Ground<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

Eddie jumped off the hill. He did not go up. He went down! THUMP!<\/em> He landed softly on his big, webbed feet. He looked at his wings. They were not for flying. They were just for decoration.<\/p>\n<\/div>

A kangaroo named Kevin hopped over. “Hello, Eddie! I saw you jump. You are the best runner in the whole bush!” said Kevin. Eddie smiled. “I am a running star!” he agreed. He gave his big wings a proud, little shake. Running was his special power.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
