A big bird called an ostrich escaped from a park in South Korea and caused a lot of excitement. People saw the ostrich running on the roads in a city called Seongnam. It was really lucky because it didn't get hit by any cars, but it did bump into a truck. The police and firefighters came to help and caught the ostrich. They took it back to the park where it belonged.

This happened on a Tuesday morning, and the news about the ostrich spread quickly. Lots of people saw videos of the ostrich running on the streets. It's not something you see every day!

The ostrich running away caused some problems in the area. The police and firefighters had to work hard to catch the bird and make sure everyone was safe. They did a good job and the ostrich was brought back to the park without any harm.
