Idioms

A bird in the hand . . . Do you remember what this idiom means? "A Bird in the Hand" is a song by the Velvelettes.

Reading

Prereading

Do you think they will find the Hoopoe bird?

Reading

I woke up to the setting sun and looked out the window. The car was surrounded by big factories and industrial buildings. We were nowhere near anything in nature. My father was turning the map around in his hands. “I think we’re lost,” he finally admitted. I bit my tongue and tried to stay calm. “Let’s
just find a hotel. We can start our search again in the morning." My father was clearly upset, but eventually he nodded and agreed with me. “Tomorrow is our last chance,” he said sadly. “We’ll have to spend the last day traveling to get back to Rabat for the flight."

My father was feeling melancholy the next morning. I could tell that he had lost a bit of his excitement and no longer believed he was going to find the Hoopoe. My phone buzzed with an alert. There was a Hoopoe in a park only 6 miles from us. “Come on Dad,” I
hollered, while I packed up quickly. "There is a bird currently just six miles from here. I just know we’re going to find it today.”

Reading

We pulled onto a road next to the park, and I stopped the car. “Let’s walk a bit,” I suggested. “Even if we don’t find the bird, this is a beautiful park.” We started walking up a slight incline, over a hill full of long grass. The path led down next to a river, where a tiny
trickle of water ran down behind us. A few oak trees were scattered around the field and right below one of them, hopping around without a care in the world, there was the Hoopoe.

My father gasped and put his binoculars to his eyes. “It’s beautiful,” he whispered. He walked closer to the bird, and then sat down right in the grass. I stayed behind and took a few pictures of him sitting there intently watching the bird. We stayed there all day. Just sitting in the grass, letting the wind blow on
our faces, while the Hoopoe hopped around, pecking insects out of the grass. For a moment, I thought about the horrible trip back home that awaited us, but then I looked at my father’s face and it didn’t matter. We’d make that trip tomorrow. In the meantime, we would just enjoy this bird.
