Once upon a time, in a land filled with sunshine and lollipops, there lived a very special crow. Now, most crows are covered in black feathers, but not our friend! Oh no, this crow had NO hair at all! His head was as bald and shiny as a bowling ball.
Every morning, he'd wake up, look in the mirror, and say, "Good morning, Mr. Shiny Head!" He quite liked being different. It made him feel special.
One sunny afternoon, Mr. Shiny Head was flying over Farmer Joe's farm. He loved watching the animals. The fluffy sheep baaing, the pink pigs rolling in the mud, and the cows mooing for their lunch.
Suddenly, Mr. Shiny Head spotted something extraordinary! It was a horse, but not just any horse. This horse had a big, white body covered in black spots, like a giant, delicious cookie!
"Well, shiver my feathers!" exclaimed Mr. Shiny Head, landing on the fencepost. "I've never seen a horse like THAT before!"
The horse looked up at Mr. Shiny Head and neighed hello. "Why, hello there, little crow!" he said in a deep, friendly voice. "My name is Patches. What's yours?"
"I'm Mr. Shiny Head," said the crow, puffing out his chest. "Pleased to meet you, Patches!"
Patches chuckled, his spots jiggling like jelly. "Mr. Shiny Head? That's a funny name!"
From that day on, Mr. Shiny Head and Patches became the best of friends. They loved spending time together, sharing stories and laughing in the sunshine. Mr. Shiny Head learned that it's okay to be different, and Patches loved making new friends.
And so, the crow with no hair and the spotty horse taught everyone on Farmer Joe's farm that friendship comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors! And that's what truly matters.
