The Sparrow and the Trees
One day in winter the Sparrow is sad, it cannot fly. A cold wind starts to blow, and the Sparrow has no home.
It goes into the forest to find a home for the winter. There are a lot of trees in the forest.
First the bird comes to a willow tree in the forest and asks: 'I'm cold and hungry. Can I make my home under your branches, please? I can't fly.'The Willow says: 'Oh, no! My branches aren't strong. You can't make your home under my branches. Go to the mulberry tree!'
The Sparrow goes to the Mulberry tree and asks: 'I'm cold and hungry. Can I make my home under your branches, please? I can't
fly:
'I'm sorry,' the Mulberry tree says: 'My leaves aren't strong this winter. You're hungry. You can eat up my fruit in the winter. I can't give you a home under my branches.'
The bird hops, hops and hops in the forest. The trees don't want to help it. It's tired and sad.
In the evening, a fir tree sees the sad Sparrow and asks: 'What are you doing in the forest little bird?'
