[00:27.36]There's a story in an ancient play
[00:28.44]About birds called The Birds
[00:31.29]
[00:32.89]And it's a short story
[00:33.70]From before the world began
[00:34.83]
[00:36.28]From a time when there was no earth
[00:37.81]
[00:38.40]No land
[00:38.77]
[00:40.08]Only air and birds everywhere
[00:42.71]
[00:47.52]But the thing was
[00:48.30]
[00:48.83]There was no place to land
[00:49.88]
[00:50.76]Because there was no land
[00:52.06]
[00:54.16]So they just circled around and around
[00:55.67]
[00:57.14]Because this was before the world began
[00:58.91]
[01:04.87]And the sound was deafening
[01:06.12]
[01:07.13]Songbirds were everywhere
[01:08.24]
[01:09.17]Billions and billions
[01:10.77]And billions of birds
[01:12.22]
[01:16.04]And one of these birds was a lark
[01:17.42]
[01:18.27]And one day her father died
[01:19.62]
[01:20.82]And this was a really big problem
[01:21.90]
[01:22.46]Because what should they do with the body
[01:23.83]
[01:25.33]There was no place to put the body
[01:26.85]Because there was no earth
[01:28.69]
[01:40.53]And finally the lark had a solution
[01:43.32]
[01:45.41]She decided to bury her father
[01:46.67]
[01:47.51]In the back if her own head
[01:49.69]
[01:51.92]And this was the beginning of memory
[01:55.85]
[01:58.35]Because before this
[01:59.16]
[02:00.52]No one could remember a thing
[02:01.71]
[02:03.83]They were just constantly flying in circles
[02:05.98]
[02:08.07]Constantly flying in huge circles
