Sure enough, as we just said, Chipie came for his breakfast Sarding in the room on the other side of the window sill, Hamid watched with fascination as Chirple picked up the bread crumbs, one by one, and flipped them into his mouth.

"I wish I could do that," she said.

"I never really tried," Hanid

"I've watched People eat," he said. "They use funny things to eat with.

Hanid explained that the "funny things" that People used when they ate weren't really funny at all.

"You must mean a knife, a fork and a spoon," she said.

Chirpie nodded and said, Yes that's what he meant.

Hanid explains

"A knife is for making big things smaller," said Hanid.

"I think it's wonderful what you do with your beak, Chirpie," said Hanid.

"I think it's wonderful what you do with your hands," said Chirpie.

Chirpie flew off, singing through his beak.

Hanid waved to Chirpie and shut the window - all with her hands!
