Synopsis
AllTico the wingless bird wants is a pair of golden wings to carry himup over the mountaintops. But when Tico's wish is granted, none ofhis friends will talk to him. What's so wrong with being different?Tico wonders all alone. One day Tico helps a crying man by givinghim one of his golden feathers. A black feather appears in itsplace. Each day he gives a feather away to someone in need untilhis golden wings are as black as India ink. When Tico returns tohis friends, they are all relieved to see him. "Now you are justlike us," they say. But Tico knows there is more to him than thecolor of his wings.

Tico, a little bird born without wings, is one day granted hisdearest wish. But the wings he gets are made of gold and his birdfriends turn against him. You think you are better than we are,othey say. What Tico does with his golden feathers and the importantlesson he learns is a fable that children will take to theirhearts.
