A parrot in the forest
By Soo Hyun
In the depths of the forest there was a parrot with beautiful and colourful
feathers called Flory . All the other parrots were jealous of her. Birds from all over the forest would come just to
admire her feathers.
One day a little bird asked Flory for one tiny feather.
“NO WAY” squawked Flory. “I am too beautiful to give you
one of my feathers!”
The little bird sadly flew away. From that day on every bird
hated her for her vain talking.
After a while of being ignored by the other birds in the
forest, Flory was so lonely she asked a passing seagull “How can I make friends?”.
The seagull didn’t know what to say so he said to the parrot “Go to the wise peacock, she
will know what to do.”
So Flory went to the wise peacock. “How can I make
friends?”asked Flory. The wise peacock answered
“Share your feathers”. “Never!” squawked Flory. “Your choice” said the wise
peacock. “Share your feathers and make friends or be beautiful
and be lonely forever.”
“But….” Flory had more to ask but the wise peacock had
already disappeared. On the way back to Flory's nest the little bird flew down again beside Flory and asked, “Can I please have one tiny
feather of yours, please? They are so beautiful and mine are so
dark and plain”
Flory thought and thought and remembered the peacocks words. She
gave one tiny feather to the little bird. Suddenly a
bunch of birds came flying down wondering if they could have a feather too. Flory handed out her feathers until there was
only one left for her . Although she now wasn’t the prettiest bird in the
forest she was the happiest .
