WHY THE BAT COMES OUT ONLY AT NIGHT' W5 b, ]% D6 c# j5 ~. G
Long, long ago, there was a war between the birds and the beasts. No one knows what they fought about.) @, |' K. A, s( F9 ?/ P* Q
The bat did not know whose side he should take. He thought and thought, then decided he must try to be on the side of the winners.
2 ]/ Y2 E6 c8 n8 h" Z9 N; pSo he watched from far away. After a while, it seemed that the birds were going to win. He flew over to join them.

When the beasts and the birds saw neither side could win, they decided to stop fighting.$ Y x7 R+ e; W8 P& b
Neither beasts nor birds would have the bat as their friend, so he was afraid to leave his home. Ever since then, he comes out only at night. `* X" M2 e1 {
