Meet Stu the ostrich whose life changes when a shiny spaceship shows up. None of the other ostriches has ever seen anything like it. Two aliens come out of the spaceship and poke them with sticks. Anna goes to check them out and the aliens are very happy but then Anna never comes back. Stu decides that they are not going to wait around and let the aliens get them too and so he makes a plan. He asks all the ostriches who can run really fast to run around the ship. He asks the strong ones to carry sticks and grass and mud and anything that can be smeared on them. How do they scare the aliens and do they get scared according to Stu’s plans?
