József Gémes

Willy pretends to be ill in order to avoid math class. On noticing two sparrows not far from his window he shoots at them with his slingshot. Verbena, the guardian of the sparrows, notices what's going on and, as a form of corrective punishment, proceeds to transform him into one of those birds. Forced to hold his own in this new guise, Willy receives support from the inquisitive sparrow Cibur, who teaches him to fly in exchange for reading lessons. In the process Willy comes not only to appreciate, but even to treasure his fellow creatures. AB
