Once upon a time, there was a kind-hearted woman. She had a beautiful garden full of colorful flowers. One day, she heard a sad chirping sound. It was a little bird with a broken wing. The woman gently picked up the bird and brought it inside her cozy cottage.
The woman carefully bandaged the bird's wing and gave it some water and food. She named the bird Sparkle because of its shiny feathers. Sparkle stayed with the woman, and they became the best of friends. The woman loved to hear Sparkle's sweet singing every morning.
One day, the woman noticed that Sparkle seemed restless. Sparkle kept looking out the window and fluttering its wings. The woman understood that Sparkle wanted to go back to its family. Even though she would miss Sparkle, the woman knew it was the right thing to do.
The woman gently opened the window, and Sparkle flew away happily. The woman watched as Sparkle joined a group of birds in the sky. Sparkle looked back at the woman with gratitude, and the woman waved goodbye.
Even though Sparkle was gone, the woman's garden still filled her heart with joy. Every time she saw a bird, she remembered her special friend. The woman knew that sometimes, letting go can bring happiness to others and warmth to our own hearts.
