The Generous Sparrow

In the small village of Meadowfield, nestled among rolling hills and vibrant wildflowers, there lived a cheerful sparrow named Serah. Serah loved to sing from dawn till dusk, sharing her sweet melodies with everyone.

Sparrows are known for their pleasant chirping.

One day, Serah noticed her friend Toby the Turtle seemed downhearted. 'Why the long face, Toby?' chirped Serah. 'I've lost my home,' replied Toby with a sigh. The river flooded, and my burrow was washed away.

Turtles can make burrows for shelter.

Without a second thought, Serah offered to share her nest with Toby. 'But Serah, I'll take up so much space,' worried Toby. 'Do not fret, my friend,' Serah sang. 'We'll make room!'

Sparrows build nests that serve as their homes.

True to her word, Serah found sticks and twigs to reinforce her nest, making it stronger and roomier for the both of them. Toby was grateful and couldn't believe how generous his friend was.

Sparrows collect materials to build and fortify their nests.

Not long after, a shy rabbit named Rose came hopping along. 'My foot is hurt and I cannot hop home,' she said. Serah swiftly invited Rose to rest in the nest until she healed.

Rabbits are known for their ability to hop using their strong hind legs.

One day, the animals of Meadowfield decided to give back to Serah. They gathered bits of food, soft feathers, and other goodies to make Serah's nest the warmest and most comfortable in the whole village.

Toby and Rose finally left the nest once Toby's burrow was rebuilt and Rose's foot healed. They thanked Serah for her kindness and promised to always be there for her as she had been for them.
