Edwin's Airport by Robert

:

There once was an eagle named Edwin who had his own airport. He would fly mice or small animals to about anywhere they wanted to go. One day, another eagle landed at Edwin's Airport looking for a job. So Edwin said he could use the other little shack on his airport.

A few weeks passed by and the new eagle had so much business he made enough money to buy himself a new airport, if he wanted to. But he kept working for Edwin. A couple days later a little mouse named Chester walked in and asked if there was any work around the airport. Edwin said yes, there was, and he told the little mouse they needed help either bringing the luggage in from the eagles' backs, or taking it out and strapping it down. The two eagles and the mouse worked together for a long time. So the eagles flew the passengers and Chester helped with the luggage. It was a very good relationship they had at Edwin's airport.
