Little Bird Lost

Once upon a time, in a vibrant, lush forest, there lived a little bird named Nana. She had feathers as blue as the summer sky and a heart full of curiosity.

One sunny day, Nana decided to fly high and far, farther than she had ever flown before. 'This is fun!' she chirped with glee. She zipped past trees, buzzed by bees, and darted with the breeze.

A small blue bird flying energetically through a bright forest filled with trees, bees, and fluttering leaves.

But soon, Nana found herself in a part of the forest she didn't recognize. The trees looked different, and the colors were strange. 'Oh no! I think I'm lost!' Nana twittered, her tiny heart thumping like a drum.

A small, worried blue bird in an unfamiliar part of the forest with strange-looking trees and unusual colors.

Drip-drop, drip-drop, the rain began to fall. 'Where can I go?' Nana wondered aloud. Just then, she spotted a wise old owl perched on a crooked branch.

The owl blinked slowly and hooted, 'Who are you? And what brings you here, little one?' Nana fluffed her feathers and replied, 'I'm Nana. I think I got lost while exploring.'

A curious blue bird talking to a wise old owl with big eyes on a branch in a dripping wet forest.

The owl hooted softly, 'Fear not, little Nana. Follow the sound of flowing water. It will lead you back home.' Nana thanked the owl and flew towards the sound of a babbling brook.

She flew over a stream that sparkled like diamonds and sang a sweet lullaby, 'Twit-twoo, follow the blue, twit-twoo, it'll guide you through!' Her spirit lifted, Nana flew faster.

At last, Nana saw familiar woods. She chirped joyfully, 'Home sweet home, here I come!' She swooped down to her nest, where her family was waiting.

Her mother hugged her tight with wings so warm, and Nana beamed, 'I’m back, safe and sound! I won’t fly so far again soon.'

From that day on, Nana stayed close to home, but she never forgot the wise old owl's advice and the kindness she found that day.

A small blue bird happily perched in her nest, thinking back on her adventure, with a wise owl in the distance.

And every time it rained and she heard the drip-drop, Nana would smile and remember her brave little adventure. The end.
