After too much teasing, hes had enough. "I dont fit in here anymore," he tells his parents. "Im going to Africa to see the flamingos." But poor Patrick doesnt fit in with them, either: He cant 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!
