Features: Mommy, the kindergarten is on vacation. Mingming can only stay at home alone. The birds fly freely in the sky. One bird flies towards Mingming. The bird tilts its head, looking this way and that, then looks at Mingming and says, "Do you want to fly in the sky? It's so much fun up there." Mingming nods, but then shakes his head quickly, "No, I don’t have wings. I can’t fly." The bird says, "It’s okay. I can turn you into a bird and let you fly in the sky, but you must come back before dark, or Mommy will worry." "Is it really fun to turn into a bird? Can I really fly up into the sky?" "Yes! Close your eyes and say loudly, ‘Let me turn into a bird and fly up into the sky!’" Mingming follows its instructions and says it once. When he opens his eyes again, he has already turned into a bird, while the little horse has turned into Mingming, lying on the windowsill watching him laugh, "Don’t be afraid, spread your wings and fly bravely!" Mingming jumps up hard, flapping his wings vigorously. Wow! He really takes off. Looking down from the sky, he sees the tall buildings in the city, the fields in the countryside, older brothers and sisters reading in the classroom, traffic police on duty, and an old grandmother walking her dog. The streets are packed with cars, and the overpasses crisscross each other. Large billboards are displayed everywhere.
