Birdie and the Drought

Birdie is a happy bird who likes to sing. She lives in a nest in a tall
tree. She feels cozy and safe in her nest. She likes to catch worms and talk
with ger friend, Mrs. Frog. Mr. Frog lives in a pond , with green lily-pads.
One summer, there was no rain for a long long time. Mr. Frog’s pond
began to dry up. The lily-pads wilted. “I need to go and find another pond to
live in”, said Mr. Frog. “I will come back when it rains again and my pond is
full and the lilies bloom”.
Birdie felt sad because her friend had gone away. Day after day
 , it did not rain. There were no worms for Birdie to eat because the ground
was too dry and hard. Birdie felt hungry. She felt lonely too. “I need to find

somewhere else to live”, said Birdie. “I will come back when it rains again
and the ground is soft and there are lots of worms”.
Birdie travelled for a long time. She came to a waterhole. The ground
was nice and soft. Some other birds helped her find worms to eat. But Birdie
still felt sad. She missed her tress. She missed her nest. She missed her
friend Mr. Frog.
One day, Birdie was standing by the water when she saw a face she
knew. “Mr. Frog!” Birdie cried out. “Birdie!” Shouted Mr. Frog. They were so
excited to see each other again. One day, Birdie will go back to her nest and
Mr. Frog will go back to his pond. But for now, they are happy at the
waterhole with all their new friends.
