🐦 The Story: The Sparrow and the Broken Nest
Once upon a time, in a quiet village surrounded by green fields, lived a tiny sparrow named Mini. She had built her nest on the branch of a big mango tree. Mini loved her little home—it was warm, cozy, and safe.
Every morning, she flew out to gather food and chirped happily as the sun rose.
⭐ A Sudden Storm
One evening, dark clouds filled the sky. The wind began to blow fiercely. Soon, a heavy storm hit the village. Trees shook, branches fell, and the sparrow’s little nest swayed dangerously.
By the time the storm ended, Mini’s nest was completely broken.
When she returned, Mini saw the twigs scattered on the ground. For a moment, her tiny heart sank.
“My home… It’s gone,” she whispered sadly.
⭐ The Sparrow Doesn’t Give Up
But Mini didn’t cry for long. She wiped her tears and said to herself:
“If a storm can destroy my nest, I can build it again.”
With determination, she picked up the fallen twigs one by one. She flew back and forth, collecting new leaves, straw, and soft feathers to make a stronger nest.
Many animals watched her work tirelessly.
The squirrel said,
“Mini, take rest. You must be tired.”
The sparrow replied,
“I will rest after I finish rebuilding.”
The crow teased,
“You’re too small to build such a big nest again!”
Mini simply smiled and kept working.
⭐ A Beautiful New Home
After two days of hard work, Mini finally completed her new nest. It was even stronger and cozier than the one before. The animals were amazed.
The crow apologized,
“I was wrong. You are small, but your courage is big.”
Mini chirped happily,
“As long as you don’t give up, you can build anything again.”
She snuggled inside her new nest, feeling proud and peaceful.
