One

day

a

new

animal

came

to

my

island.

His

name

was

Man,

and

at

first

we

seemed

to

be

good

friends.

We

went

everywhere

together

and

I

shared

my

food

with

him.

However,

I

began

to

wonder

why

several

of

my

dodo

friends

had

disappeared.

Then

the

number

of

our

species

began

to

decrease

quickly.

I

was

so

worried

that

I

asked

the

other

animals

and

they

all

told

me,

“Your

friends

are

being

killed

and

eaten

by

Man

while

you

are

hunting

for

food.”

Had

Man

eaten

them?

I

couldn’t

believe

it!

When

I

asked

Man

directly,

he

seemed

surprised.

“I

haven’t

seen

the

other

dodos

either.”

he

said.

“Maybe

someone

else

killed

them.”

I

believed

him

but

when

more

dodos

disappeared

I

set

a

trap.

I

went

off

as

if

I

was

going

to

hunt

but

instead

I

hid

in

the

forest

and

waited.

Sure

enough

Man

came

along.

He

ran

after

the

last

of

my

dodo

friends

and

killed

her.

I

felt

so

angry

that

I

rushed

out

of

my

hiding

place

and

straight

at

Man’s

spear.

He

killed

me

too.

After

that

there

were

no

more

dodos

in

the

world.

So

my

motto

is:

be

careful

who

you

trust.
