On the way to school, Ajay walked at the very back of the group—it was the perfect spot for looking around. Sure enough, a feathery shadow darted by in a flash and ducked behind a trash can!
"Did you guys see that strange bird?"
Everyone burst into laughter. "Oh, come on! You’re always claiming to see the most bizarre things. What is it this time—a bird that can’t fly?"
But there it was again! It scurried along the street, flapping its wings as hard as it could, yet it just couldn't take flight. "It’s a dodo!" Ajay shouted, his heart racing with excitement. His best friend, Joey, doubled over with laughter: "Ajay, dodos went extinct ages ago!"
Convinced he hadn't been mistaken, Ajay set off in pursuit. When the dodo ducked into a subway station, Ajay could only watch helplessly from the platform. He caught the next train, but then watched as the bird vanished into the crowd, dashed up the stairs, and slipped into a large building—a museum! Beneath the imposing skeleton of a dinosaur, Ajay finally came face-to-face with the dodo.
As it turned out, dodos hadn't gone extinct after all—they had only come *very* close. After hearing Ajay talk about the various challenges humans face, they had quietly made the museum their home. Once the museum closed for the day, Ajay had a blast playing with the dodos, exploring everything from the dinosaur hall to the ancient artifacts. As he said goodbye, Ajay made a silent vow: one day, he would become a museum guide, sharing this secret with other curious children—just like you.
By the way, many animals today are still struggling to survive. Ajay dreams of a world where all living creatures can live long, happy lives—a vision that serves as the most precious lesson the dodos ever taught him.
