Willy the Sparrow
7.3
“What would it feel like to be a bird and fly over the trees and housetops?”
Vili fakes illness so he doesn't have to take a math test. Instead, he starts shooting at sparrows from the window with an air rifle. The kindly old lady who feeds the birds turns out to be a real-life fairy who tries to turn Vili into a good boy.
