Sample letter to the Dodo:
Dear Dodo,
I am writing to you because I have heard of your problems. I know man is trying to kill all the dodos and I want to help you. Here are my ideas.
First,I would like to come and attack them for you so that they will leave you alone. I want to build a trap and catch them and put them in a cage. Then they will not feel like killing any dodos again.
Second,I wish I could take you away to another island where you will be happy and peaceful.
I wish I were with you now. Good luck till I come.
Yours sincerely,
Xiao Xing
