3 Act Structure Revised

Act I (Setup)
Exposition: A mother egret is teacher her young how to fish in the canal. Three of her young are involved with the lesson and they successfully learn to fish by their mother's example. However, the fourth baby egret is uninterested with the lesson for he is distracted by what is happening up on the neutral ground. He sees the ducks being feed bread by humans and the egret rather get food from humans rather than fishing from the dirty canal.
Inciting Incident: The young egret decides to leave his family so he can join the ducks on the neutral ground.
Plot Point: Over time, the egret grows dependent on humans for food in any way he can possibly find, whether it is the children and elderly feeding him bread, stealing from picnics and hobos, and human left-overs that are littered onto the neutral ground or in the trash. This food flow does not last.

Act II (Confrontation)
Obstacles: The egret can no longer find humans to get food from for it is now the cold season. The only people he sees are driving by in cars. The egret has a hard time helping himself because he has become fat and lazy and all alone.
First Culmination: The egret sees a man in his car eating french fries and sees him as an opportunity for food. The egret has to walk over the the car because he is far too over weight to fly. The egret spooks the man as he jumps onto his opened window, but the man does not feed the egret for he wants to eat the bird itself! The egret fights and gets away beaten up and exhausted.
Midpoint: The egret has no choice but to return to the canal hoping to find help. The egret sees his brothers in the canal fishing and catching fish. Because he is ashamed of his poor condition, the egret does not want to confront his brothers so a goes behind their backs and steal their fish, but is caught in the act and he is rebuked. The egret then goes to a nutria for he sees him eating roots. The nutria gives the egret a root, but he cannot stomach it and spits it out disgustedly.
Plot Point: The egret is then all alone and helpless.

Act III (Resolution)
Climax/Denouement: The egret has no choice but to try to get food for himself so he tries to catch fish. The egret struggles to catch fish, for he never learned how and his condition doesn't help his situation. Day becomes night until the egret is able to catch a tiny minnow. Right as the egret is tossing the fish into is beak, the egret is abruptly swallowed whole by an alligator.
