  The story begins, “One day, the Earth was feeling very sad. She sent a message to her birds all over the world and said to them, ‘I need your help. Please will you gather together in one place so that I can speak to you?’” And here begins the adventure6 of the birds who flew beyond time. Birds of all kinds, from every region of the world, respond to the Earth’s call. She tells them that she is dying—her land and rivers and oceans are being poisoned7 and her beautiful planet is destroyed by war. Can the birds help her? If they are to do so, they must set out on a special journey. They must fly through seven terrible valleys and overcome the monsters that live in each valley, until they find the Great Being who is the life of all life. Then they must bring back to Earth the message they are given. They are full of fear but under the encouragement8 of their guide, the Hoopoe, the birds set out on a journey that is both ours and theirs.
  故事是這样开头的:“一天,地球感到十分伤心。她向全世界的鸟儿们发送一则消息,说:‘我需要你们的帮助,请你们在某个地方集合,这样我就可以同你们说话了,可以吗?’”从此,鸟儿们便开始了飞跃时空的冒险。来自世界每一个地方的各种各样的鸟儿们,响应了地球的呼唤。她告诉它们她将要死去——她的土地、河流与海洋正遭受荼毒,她美丽的星球也因战争而遭到毁灭。这些鸟儿能帮助她吗?如果它们要提供帮助,就必须开启一段特殊的旅程。它们必须飞过七座可怕的山谷,并战胜居住在每个山谷里的怪兽,直到找到那个万物之首的大人物。然后鸟儿们必须将所获得的的消息带回给地球。它们内心充满了恐惧,但是在向导,也就是戴胜鸟的鼓励下,鸟儿们开启了一段既属于我们也属于它们的旅程。
