Canadian geese are large blue - and - white birds. When autumn comes, they have to fly south where the weather is warmer. The winters are so cold in Canada that some birds would die.
Last spring, Bill Lishman found sixteen young Canadian geese on his farm. They had lost their parents. Bill thought, “These young birds won't know what to do in autumn. ” He had a small plane, and he decided to teach the birds to follow him. All through the summer, he went on short trips in his plane, and the young geese flew after him.
When the cold weather arrived in autumn, Bill flew to Virginia in the United States, 600 miles from his home in Canada. The geese followed him all the way. Bill left the geese in Virginia and returned home.
This spring, Bill was waiting for birds to come back. They didn't arrive, so Bill flew to Virginia to get them. He looked for them for two weeks, but he couldn't find them. When he arrived back home, he found the geese waiting for him. They had found their way home without him!
