Five minute read about telling stories

Hi there, little one! I’m Peregrine, a little parrot and I love telling stories!

One sunny day, I discovered a rice field that seemed to have the tastiest rice in the whole wide world! Excited to share this, I brought my mommy, daddy, and baby brothers and sisters to eat there. 

Suddenly, trouble! A big person tried to stop us from eating the yummy rice. I had an idea! With courage, I swooped down to distract the big person, allowing my family to enjoy the rice in peace.  

But oops! I got caught in a trap. I stayed very quiet so my family wouldn’t be scared. After eating, my family flew away. They didn’t know I was stuck!

The big person then asked me, “Little bird, why are you taking rice?” I explained that I was helping my family and other hungry birds who needed the rice to survive.

The big person smiled and said, “Eat as much as you need, kind parrot, and your friends, too. You’ve shown what it means to be good.”

I continued to care for my feathered family. We share what we have so that we all live our best lives.

That little one is the tale of Peregrine the Parrot, who says, “Always be kind, help others.”
