Eddie wants to live in a big house with a large backyard to run around in. But, Al is content with working hard as a janitor and living their low maintenance lifestyle. So, a large bird comes to their apartment window and entices Al and Eddie to follow him to a lavish island in the sky to relax and indulge in a luxurious lifestyle. Then, on the island, Al and Eddie suddenly turn into birds and realize this life isn't for them and it's time to fly home. Finally, Eddie realizes the apartment is perfect and he is grateful for what he has!]]> 2020-09-29 15:43:07 UTC https://padlet.com/madelynhand99/c8emtjjqdrj1re03/wish/788380084 madelynhand99 https://padlet.com/madelynhand99/c8emtjjqdrj1re03/wish/788623879
Easygoing: Al does not have much, but he remains satisfied with what he does have. He continues to be a low-maintenance man throughout the story.

Hard-working: Al works as a janitor and knows it is his responsibility to provide for himself and Eddie. Although it may not be the most lavish job, he continues to prioritize his job, and is saddened when he hears that Eddie wanted him to quit and move.]]> 2020-09-29 16:32:26 UTC https://padlet.com/madelynhand99/c8emtjjqdrj1re03/wish/788623879 madelynhand99 https://padlet.com/madelynhand99/c8emtjjqdrj1re03/wish/788753775
Loyal: Although Eddie is not always happy with his simple lifestyle, he always sticks by Al's side. Even when Eddie falls into the ocean and loses Al, he finds his way back to Al because he values their companionship.

Adventurous: Eddie is willing to take any opportunity that comes his way, including going to an island high in the sky filled with birds. ]]> 2020-09-29 16:58:58 UTC https://padlet.com/madelynhand99/c8emtjjqdrj1re03/wish/788753775 madelynhand99 https://padlet.com/madelynhand99/c8emtjjqdrj1re03/wish/788799926 Students can make text-to-self or text-to-world connections regarding the mindsets of Eddie and Al.
