The Brave Little Bird

 

Once upon a time there was a little bird named Chip who lived in a big oak tree. Chip loved to sing every morning as the sun came up. His songs always started the day off happily for all the other forest creatures.

One morning, Chip woke up and flew out to his usual branch to sing his morning song. But something was wrong - he had lost his voice! He tried and tried to sing, but only a tiny squeak came out.

"Oh no!" Chip thought, "How will my friends be happy today without my morning song?" He was sad that he couldn't sing, but he knew his friends needed cheering up.

So Chip had an idea. He began to chirp loudly, fluttering his wings as fast as he could. It got all his friends' attention. Then, Chip pointed up to the sky. The sun was rising brightly over the hills, filling the forest with beautiful light.

Chip's friends understood his message: even without his voice, the day was still beautiful. Chip's kindness and efforts made everyone smile. They went about their day reminded that even without a song, each day is a gift.

And Chip kept up his silent pep talks every morning. He discovered that even without his voice, he could still spread joy to those around him. His brave spirit lifted his whole forest, reminding them to focus on the blessings of each new day.
