Peter the bird found himself grounded in someone’s yard.
“Hey, Howard, is that Peter down there?” Peter’s friend Mellisa asked as her and Howard took to the sky.
“It sure is Peter,” Howard replied.
The two birds swooped down to see why Peter was not flying in the sky on a good day.
“Peter, why are you grounded, don’t you know that this house has a cat?” Mellisa said.
Peter pointed his beak at his bad wing.
“It’s my wing Mellisa, it hurts. Thanks for checking on me.”
“That’s what friends are for Peter,” Howard explained as he and Melissa took ahold of Peter and flew him to his nest.
“Stay here Peter until you feel better. We’ll both check on you and drop you a worm until you’re back in the sky,” Mellissa said watching Peter get comfortable in his nest.
Filled with relief, Peter couldn’t help but thank his friends while dwelling on how helpless he was in a stranger’s yard. He could have been a cat’s lunch. Sometimes in life we forget the importance of friendship. In Peter’s case friendship saved his life. Sometimes that’s all it takes to get people back on the right path. When Peter got better he never forgot the friends who took the time to help him and it made the friendship even stronger.
The Good Friends
