The Professor will be so happy. We have proven that the Virtues really do work to create Return to Paradise, Happy the Bluebird chattered excitedly.

If Happy and Bright-Wings the Cardinal could have seen just behind their backs, they would have noticed that inside each of their backpacks was a glowing Virtue stone. Bright and steady as a star, each stone shone with the word Wonder.

Thank you, God, Professor Tortoise whispered to herself. Then she looked out the window, saying, Thank you, Happy and Bright-Wings, to the two birds as they flew in through the window of her office, for the Virtue Mission accomplished.

Time for a party! exclaimed Happy.

Good idea, said Bright-Wings. Professor Tortoise, do you happen to have a bowl of water around? I am quite thirsty.

Here you go. A big bowl of sparkling, clear water for both of you. Lets celebrate Return to Paradise, said the beaming Professor. So they did.
