‘OK. There is my beak. Now do I look like a seagull?’

‘No,’ said Marcus. ‘Seagulls DO NOT have purple stripes on their wings. Seagulls DO NOT have the word “tasty” written on their beaks.’

‘Some do,’ said Turtle. She thought she knew everything about animals.

‘It doesn’t matter about the stripes,’ said Mila. ‘It doesn’t matter about the writing. What matters is that I believe I am a seagull. If you believe you are something then other people will believe it too. Now, come on, Marcus. Do you want to go for a swim or not?’

Marcus did want to go for a swim. He wanted to go for a swim more than anything. He knew Mila’s plan wasn’t very good. But he didn’t have a better one. So Marcus put his striped towel over his shoulders. He made himself a beak out of the pizza box. His beak had a bit of old cheese melted onto it.

‘Seagulls love cheese,’ said Turtle.

‘It’s your turn now, Turtle,’ said Mila. ‘You need to look like a bird too.’
