Excerpt from The Heron and the Hummingbird - A Re-Telling of the Classic Tale Lee Washington

1Heron and Hummingbird were a comic pair because they did not resemble each other at all. Heron had long legs that he sometimes tripped over. Hummingbird was skinny and very short, like a fragile little sapling. To overcome their height distance, they had to yell to each other during their conversations. They were constantly fishing and had no need to compete because each enjoyed a different type of fish. As a matter of fact, most of the fish Heron ate were bigger than Hummingbird! Hummingbird preferred tiny fish because he could snack on them all day.
