edge of a jungle. Every day, David would go into the jungle to look for food.

One day, when he was near a cave in the jungle, he saw a parrot. It had beautiful red and
green feathers. The parrot was lying on the ground and looked tired. When it saw David, it
begged for his help. It told David that a few boys had thrown stones at it and broken his wings.

David took pity on the parrot, so he took it home. He nursed the parrot back to health. After
a few weeks, the parrot was well. It thanked David and sang a song for him. David could not
