Legend of the KONDOR and the HUMMINGBIRD continue..

Since a BIRD's VIRTUE IS TO RISE ABOVE THE MOUNTAINS, SUSTAINED ONLY BY WIND and SUN, the privilege of being crowned KING OF THE BIRDS WOULD BE BESTOWED
UPON THE BIRD THAT COULD FLY THE HIGHEST.
They concurred with this suggestion and decided that ALL BIRDS IN THE KINGDOM WOULD BE INVITED to a COMPETITION to demonstrate their flying abilities. THE DATE for this import-
ant GATHERING was set of THE EIGHTH MONTH at THE EIGHT o' clock in the MORNING.
ALL BIRDS of the Earth would be summoned to COME TOGETHER on THAT DAY. As there was sufficient time for individual practicing, no bird could allege that they were not given enough advanced notice.
The SEAGULL WAS CHOSEN TO TRAVEL THROUGHOUT THE EARTH TO COMMUNICATE THE WISE BIRDS' DECISION. He completed this mission almost to perfection,
with the exception that HE COULD NOT LOCATE THE KONDOR.
The SEAGULL HAD NO CHOICE but to SEEK ASSISTANCE FROM THE LORDS OF THE LAND. The LORDS of the LAND instructed the SEAGULL TO FIND the FOX, because only the
FOX COULD DELIVER A MESSAGE TO THE KONDOR about the competition where one deserving bird would be crowned king of the birds.
The FOX ASCENDED INTO THE MOUNTAINS IN SEARCH OF THE KONDOR and SAW
IN THE DEPTHS OF THE CLIFFS A DARK SILHOUETTE with white bands. It was the KONDOR who HAD GONE DOWN INTO THE VALLEY FOR WATER, and now satisfy, was
RETURNING TO HIS extraordinary PLACE IN THE UNIVERSE. As the KONDOR FLEW upward out of the valley, HE SPOTTED THE FOX. The FOX had just finished eating and was
WAITING WITH THE ONLY HOPE THAT THE KONDOR WOULD SENSE THE SMELL OF THE ANIMAL'S REMAINS. Upon SEEING this, the KONDOR DECIDED TO DESCEND to serve himself, and did not pay much attention to the Fox, who was already satisfied from a great banquet he was not able lo finish because of his size. After the KONDOR FINISHED EATING, the
FOX APPROACHED him and told him that the BIRDS of the EARTH had SUMMONED ALL BIRDS IN THE KINGDOM to be present for the identification and crowning of their king.
The KONDOR DID NOT LISTEN TO THE FOX'S WORDS and APPEARED COMPLETELY
DISINTERESTED.
