I don't fit in here anymore, he tells his parents. I'm going to Africa to see the flamingos. But poor Patrick doesn't fit in with them, either: He can't stand on one leg, skim the water for food, or fly off with the rest of the flock. So he returns home--and everyone is happy to see him In fact, his friends are green with envy over his exotic trip. Ends up being hot pink is pretty cool
