The Flightless Bird

Once upon a time, in a far away village, there was a bird named helpful. The reason the birds name was helpful, was you guessed it! He's very helpful, birds his kind usually lived in a forest. However, this bird couldn't fly... When Helpful was born he did live in a huge forest, but other birds picked on him, because he couldn't fly. Helpful's mother and farther flew off, before Helpful was born. So Helpful was left to raise himself! However, the forest was not a safe place for Helpful and if it wasn't for one very special girl Helpful would of never made it out of the forest. One day, when Helpful was trying to flap his wings four children entered the forest! They were mocking the birds, the children would squawk and the birds would squawk back and the children would stick their tongues out at the birds ( especially Helpful, because he couldn't fly!) However, while this was all happening, two ginormous birds flew in and shooed the children away! The children were as scared as ever and they never entered the forest ever again! All except one girl though, she was a bird lover and she noticed how awful Helpful looked. She realized that some of the mean birds had attacked him! The girls name was Jenny. Jenny felt sorry for the bird and carefully took him back to her village. Which was only about a mile away from the forest. There Helpful grew up and earned his name Helpful! He lived with Jenny and her parents, as well as Jenny's little brother Drake. Helpful loved the people in the village and the people loved Helpful. This is when he realized that it didn't matter that he couldn't fly, because he had a family right here in the village and that's all Helpful needed. Helpful learnt how to get on without being able to fly, he cleaned the streets with his wings and he did all sorts of odd jobs in the village. Jenny was very happy as well, she loved to sow. However, one day when Jenny was sowing a huge bird the same kind as Helpful. Landed at her front porch. Jenny was out on her deck sowing and this bird was wild! The bird started squawking at her, Jenny thought to herself. " This bird most of remembered me from years ago"! She quickly ran inside and locked the front door. Helpful had just came back home from helping their local Farmer with some hay which needed to be delivered to town. Helpful recognized the bird. It was his mother! His mother had came to rescue him! Even though Helpful had never seen his Mother or Farther he could recognize them as much as he could recognize Jenny! Helpful ran up to his mother and hugged her, she looked very tired. Helpful's mother told Helpful that she was sorry for attacking Jenny and Helpful introduced his mother to his family! Jenny looked after both of them and Helpful was remembered generations and generations after the event, for saving a girl and being the most Helpful bird in all of the villages history!
