Stu isn't quite like other ostriches. He is curious and wonders about life and the why and how of things. It's no surprise then that he has to know what this contraption is that a human rides up and down the road every day.
The human tells him that he seems very interested in his bicycle and wishes that Stu could tell him what he's thinking. He never expects Stu to answer, and when Stu does the man falls on the ground, stunned and amazed.
"You, you, you can talk!"
"Yes, obviously I can talk. This is clarice and I'm Stu. Try to stay calm."
"But, Mr. Stu, you, you, you can talk!
"Try to keep up. First you rode the contraption. Then I talked. And then you fell down. Perhaps you should take notes."
Mr. Human and Stu have races, laugh a lot and become very best friends. But, Mr. Human retires and won't see Stu anymore. He gives Stu his bicycle and this is where the fun, and frustration, begins. How do ostriches, with their very long legs make the bicycles move? You might be surprised.
Enjoy this great adventure of Stu, Clarice, and Mr. Human.
