Wai Jun lives in a little village with his parents, brothers and sisters.
His family grew padi and vegetables in their farm.
One day, Wai Jun saw many birds in the padi field. They were eating
the padi. He chased them away but they came back again.
So he made a scarecraw. He pushed a long stick into the ground.
He took a tin and drew two eyes, a nose and a mouth on it. He put a hat
on the tin. Then he put the tin on the stick. This was the
scarecrow's head.
Then he tied another stick to the long stick. This became the scarecrow's
arms. He put an old shirt on the scarecrow. After that, he
tied on a pair of gloves to make its hands.
When the wind blew, the scarecrow moved its head and waved its hands.
The birds did not come again.
