How birds got their wings by Hannah

     A long time ago in the forest there was a bird in a hollow tree looking up at the sky saying to himself, “I wish I could go in the sky. Later on, other animals would say,” come down Bird we want to play with you.  He would not answer. He would just look up at the sky. All Bird wanted was wings to fly in the sky.  

     One day Bird came down to find food and he ran into his friends Owl, Squirrel and Bunny. They asked Bird to play but he just said, “no thank you.”

     They said, “We are taking you to the spirit of the forest”, so then they walked together.

      They came to the forest spirit and bird said “Spirit king may I have some wings?’’

      Spirit king said “Yes but first you must help your friends with what they need.”

      Bird agreed to this.

      Bird walked away and went to owl.

      Bird said, “Hi Owl is there anything you need?”

      Owl said ,“Yes I need to find a quiet place.”

      Bird said, “I will take you to a quiet place where there are a bunch of trees.”

      Owl was so happy and thanked Bird.

      Then Bird went to Bunny and asked “if she wanted anything.” Bunny said, “I would like to take a walk around town. Bird did that and then Bird gathered a bunch of acorns and Squirrel was happy.

      Then Bird went to the forest spirit and told him everything Bird did and the Bird felt his side start puffing and he had wings. Bird flew off into the sky and everybody clapped. This is how birds got their wings.
