Sophie was a middle school student. On that day her class had a biology lesson. Teacher told about animals in the forest.
Children listened very carefully. The teacher told about birds.
"A cuckoo is a bird that tosses its eggs to other nests," the woman said.
Little Sophie pondered these words. Some other birds are taking care of the cuckoo chicks. And the mother leaves her cubs.
Homework was like this: watch the cuckoo and its new "family".
Sophie and her grandmother saw a large cuckoo chick and another small bird. These birds flew to them in the garden at their summer home for a week. It was interesting for little Sophie. A small bird was feeding a large cuckoo cub.
Sophie suddenly remembered how her mother had watched the TV program. Then she called one woman a "cuckoo" because she abandoned her child.
At school, Sophie talked about the cuckoo and his new "mother". It was a discovery for her. Strange things happened in life.
