Birdie and the Storm

This is Birdie. Birdie is a happy bird who like to sing. She lives
in a nest in a tall tree near a forest. Birdie feels cozy and safe I her
nest. Birdie likes to catch worms and talk with her friend Mr. Frog.
Mr. Frog lives in a pond with green lily-pads.
One day, Birdie noticed dark clouds in the sky. A wind began
to blow-whooooo-hoooooo! “That looks like a storm coming,” said Mr.
Frog. “We should put away everything that might blow around and get
broken.” BOOM! A flash of lightning lit up the clouds. Thunder
boomed. Mr. Frog said, “We need to stay in the safest part of our
home and wait for the storm to end.” Birdie was surprised to see
white balls bouncing on the grass. “Those are hailstones,” Mr. Frog
explained. “They’re like frozen raindrop. Sometimes they’re small and
sometimes they’re big. But they’re all just bits of ice.”
They hail sounded very loud in the branches. Birdie felt worried
that hailstones might break her tree. It got very dark. Rain drummed
and thrummed on the pond. Wind whooshed and whirled through the
branches. Thunder roared and rumbled in the sky. “Let’s count the
seconds between the lightning and the thunder,” said Mr. Frog. “More
seconds mean the lightning is further away. One second, two
second…” BOOM! “The lightning’s right on the top of us!” Birdie
wailed. “I’m scared!” “All this noise does feel scary,” Mr. Frog agreed.
 “But we’re safe here. And the storm will be over soon.’’ Click! Mr. Frog
turned on a torch. He made a shape with his hands, and a shadow
friend appeared on the wall. Birdie laughed. She didn’t feel so scared
anymore.
Soon the storm was over. The rain and wind stopped. The
thunder and lightning stopped. White hailstones lay all over the
ground. Birdie picked up a cold, hard little hailstone. It melted into a
puddle in her hand. Oh no! Part of Birdie’s nest had been broken in
the storm! Birdie felt angry and sad. She started to cry. “We’re here,
Birdie,’’ her friends said. “We’ll mend your nest. And you can stay
with us until it’s fixed.” Other helpers came. They cleaned up all the
broken branches. Birdie’s friend brought sticks to mend her nest, and
feathers to make it soft inside. It looked a bit different now, but now it
was strong and cozy. Birdie and Mr. Frog were safe and happy again.
