Three little eggs appeared in the nest.

Ken’s neighbours watched excitedly.
The baby cuckoo picked up the other eggs easily with its back, and pushed them out of the nest. The birds returned and pushed food into its mouth. After twenty days, the cuckoo was enormous!
On 6th May, it opened its wings. In a moment, the nest was empty. The show was over.
