WHY THE BAT COMES OUT ONLY AT NIGHT
) I1 X. I, M' A3 a* aLong, long ago, there was a war between the birds and the beasts. No one knows what they fought about.4 }: S5 v9 D1 Y- J" W
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.
$ k7 w4 K* H1 P* xSo he watched from far away. After a while, it seemed that the birds were going to win. He flew over to join them.
' T) V3 U6 f6 X9 ?# v“What on earth are you doing here?” a bird shouted at him. O+ Q) i9 P: S1 j% i0 p7 h
“Can’t you see I’m a bird?” the bat said with a smile. “Look, I have wings, just like you.”
( }4 g( H% x' g: n! Z- d5 C) ^, W“Come along, then,” said the bird. “Don’t hide behind others.”

“What are you doing on our side?” an animal called out to him. “Are you spying on us?”

“Who are you trying to fool?” said the animals. “We saw you fighting on the side of the birds just now.”' [0 y( f# g- ] x7 T
So the beasts drove him off. Of course the birds refused to take him back.
