"You mean that's all?"

Julian was disappointed. He was also a little shocked. Ten adults - fully grown men and women, in the middle of the field, behaving like there was a crazy party going on. And all it was -- was -- they'd spotted some birds! Birds!

"It's the rare sarus crane, Julian. a pair of them," his mother tried to explain, but he wasn't interested. Now if they'd seen lions or tigers, or even a giraffe or a hippo -- but birds!

"Mom, may I go back to the hotel? I'm hungry."

"Sure, Julian, follow the straight path back and don't wander." His mother sighed. How could she involve her son in a hobby she was so passionate about, if he just wouldn't stay?

They were in the hotel room that evening when Julian suddenly got excited. It was Mom's turn to yawn.

"Mom, look at the TV!"

"I'm not interested in TV, Julian."

"But you're on it! You and Uncle Prashant and the rest, discovering this year's batch of migrating sarus cranes!"

They hugged each other.

They had something in common to be excited about.
