Big Blue is a cautionary tale for all of us, but especially children who
may not realize that their actions can have unexpected consequences. Big
Blue is a happy bird, and a member of a large family that spends their
winters in the warm south. Big Blue gets lazy though and instead of
working, he lies about, eating and sleeping. Soon, the flock leaves but
Blue is too fat and heavy to go, so he spends the winter cold, but
working hard to get back in shape. Next year, Big Blue isn't called
""big"" because of his size but because he is now strong, fit and the
leader of the flock.
