The Flamingo with Two Left Feet
by Patti Bonesteel
What happens to a flamingo who can’t dance? Fernando feels self-conscious and embarrassed about joining the other flamingos in their ‘Dance on the Water’ to find a mate. He thinks he is clumsy and there’s no chance a flamingo will ever choose him. However, his mother lovingly encourages him to practice and be patient. Practicing each day does give Fernando some success and confidence. However, a sudden setback, and some taunting and name calling from the other flamingos, causes him to lose his confidence again. What will happen? Will Fernando dance on the water and find his perfect mate?
