The Fish in Stork’s Bill

It walks with swagger

Over the ground and water

It flies low

Looks for the fish to show.

It appears to be meditating

Standing on one leg

Waiting for the prey to appear

It waits without any fear.

The fish swim around the bird

Taking no notice of its bent leg

It pounces upon the prey

Picks it in its beak and flies away.

Its long stout bill

Helps it to kill

It is a hunter of small amphibians and fish

Once his eyes are set it never does miss.

It stays inactive for longer times

Its claws are stronger as knives

It is going to have a hearty meal

Of the fish, it carries in its bill.
