The second part, \u003cstrong\u003eThe Voyage\u003c\/strong\u003e, outlines Aesop’s background and life before he journeys to New Zealand. The third part — \u003cstrong\u003eThe Great Bathing\u003c\/strong\u003e — looks at the preparations of the birds as they ready themselves for the concert they plan to give in Aesop’s honour, while \u003cstrong\u003eThe Journeys\u003c\/strong\u003e illustrates some of the voyages the birds had to make to be there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThen there is \u003cstrong\u003eThe Concert\u003c\/strong\u003e itself, and once the birds have found suitable vantage points from which to watch the proceedings, the stories and songs begin.
