The Cleanup Crew

Polly flew high with the vultures. They went up in slow circles. The big birds made room for her. Her glasses shone in the sun.

Vultures see very well. One bird sees food far away and goes down. The other birds see it and follow. News moves fast without a sound.

Small beetles work in the grass. They roll balls of dung. At night, they look at the stars. The stars show them the way.

Nothing is wasted here. Everything has a job. The grass feeds the animals. Polly flew home slowly.
