Birdie hesitated. The ground below was far, but the sky called to her.

With a deep breath, she flapped her wings – one, two, three times.

A gust of wind helped her, and slowly, Birdie started to rise.
Gust: A sudden strong rush of wind. When have you felt a gust of wind?
Higher and higher, she soared, over treetops and the sparkling lake.
Soared: Flew high in the air. Can you describe something that soared in the sky?
Her parents cheered, and the other birds joined in the celebration.
Celebration: A joyful occasion. What do you like to do during a celebration?
Birdie landed back on her branch, her heart full of pride.

She couldn't wait to explore the skies, but now it was time to rest.

As the sun set, Birdie fell asleep, dreaming of her next flight.
