Shock numbed Luke. For a while he could not believe what he was seeing. The body was bare. It had dark skin spattered with mud and leaves, and the eyes were closed.Was it real? Was it actually a man? He leaned over and, with one finger, touched the man's arm. The eyes opened. Luke jumped back. It was alive! Slowly the man raised his hands and there were more sounds, louder, different, like some kind of language. Luke managed to say, "Who are you?"As Luke and his family get to know the mysterious Bird-Man, they come to realise that his arrival among them is no accident, and their lives will never be the same.
