Tico is a bird, much like any other bird but alas, he has no wings. He cannot fly...he cannot soar; he is different from the other birds. The other birds love him though and take care of him as all good friends and mates should. they bring him berries and fruit to eat and watch over him. Still and all, Tico is sad and dearly wants wings so that he can do what birds do.

As he slept one night, a strange bird, one who is pale as a pearl with glorious wings arrives and informs our wingless little friend that "I am the wishingbird." Of course Tico wishes for wings and low and behold he his presented with a beautiful pair of gorgeous golden wings. All is well and our little bird is able to fly; to sour higher and higher. Upon his return from his wonderful flight Tico joins the other birds and notes they act different. They frowned at him and informed him that "you think you are better than we are, don't you, with those golden wings...you wanted to be different." They then flew off leaving a very bewildered little bird behind.
