Story 1: The Sparrow's Kindness
In a small village nestled amidst green hills, there lived a
sparrow named Chirpy. She was known for her vibrant feathers
and cheerful songs, bringing joy to all who heard her.
One day, a terrible storm swept through the village. Trees were
uprooted, nests destroyed, and the animals sought shelter
wherever they could. Chirpy's own nest was ruined, and she
barely managed to survive the fierce winds by hiding in the
hollow of an old tree.
When the storm passed, Chirpy flew around to check on her
friends. She found a family of squirrels whose burrow had been
flooded and a rabbit whose warren had collapsed. Despite her
own troubles, Chirpy decided to help. She gathered twigs,
leaves, and soft feathers to rebuild their shelters, working
tirelessly for days.
While Chirpy was helping others, a hawk observed her from
above. He marveled at her selflessness but also saw an
opportunity. "This sparrow is too busy to notice me," he
thought. "She’ll make an easy meal."
As the hawk swooped down, Chirpy saw his shadow and froze.
But just as he was about to strike, the animals Chirpy had helped
rushed to her defense. The squirrels threw nuts, and the rabbit
leaped to scare the hawk away. Startled by their unity, the hawk
retreated.
Later, the animals gathered around Chirpy. "You helped us
when we had nothing," the rabbit said. "We will always protect
you."
From that day forward, Chirpy was never alone. Her kindness
had built a bond that no predator could break.
Moral: Acts of kindness create a network of support and
protection in times of need.
