Once upon a time, nestled in the heart of a thick forest, lived a charming little parrot. The parrot loved its home in the forest and spent its days singing and playing with its friends. One day, a fierce lightning storm began and a bolt of lightning hit a tree, starting a fire.
The fire quickly spread, posing a threat to all the animals' homes in the forest. The animals, large and small, began to flee in fear. They ran, flew, and hopped, trying to escape the raging fire.
As the little parrot watched this chaos, it thought, "I must do something to stop this fire and save our home." Even though it was just a small bird, it was brave and had a large heart. It decided to try and douse the fire.
The little parrot flew to the nearest river, dunked itself in the water, and then flew over the burning forest. Shaking its wet feathers, tiny droplets of water fell onto the flames. It repeated this process over and over, each time dropping a few droplets of water on the fire.
An old wise owl, who was watching the parrot, flew up to it and asked, "Why are you doing this little parrot? Your wings are so small, and the fire is so large. Your tiny drops of water will not put out such a big fire."
The brave little parrot, tired but determined, replied, "I am doing what I can. This is my home, and these are my friends. I may be small, but if everyone does what they can, however small it may seem, together we can make a big difference."
Impressed by the bravery and determination of the little parrot, the wise owl spread the word among the other birds. Inspired by the parrot's courage, all the birds flew to the river, dipped their wings in the water, and shook their wet feathers over the fire. The droplets of water became a shower, and soon, the fire was extinguished.
All the animals cheered and thanked the little parrot for its courage and determination. From that day forward, the little parrot was known as the "Brave Little Parrot". The animals in the forest realized that no matter how big or small they were, they could make a difference if they put their minds to it.
Once upon a time, in the middle of a big forest, lived a small, friendly parrot. The parrot loved its home and spent each day singing and playing with its animal friends. One day, a strong storm came, and lightning struck a tree, causing a fire.
The fire spread quickly, and soon, it was dangerous for all the animals. Scared, the animals ran, flew, or jumped to get away from the fire as fast as they could.
The little parrot watched the chaos and thought, "I must do something to save our forest." Even though the parrot was small, it was very brave. It decided to try and stop the fire.
The parrot flew to the nearest river, dipped its feathers in the water, and then flew back over the fire. It shook its wet feathers, and a few drops of water fell onto the flames. The parrot kept doing this again and again, each time dropping only a few drops of water on the fire.
An old owl, who was watching from a tree, flew over to the parrot and asked, "Why are you doing this, little parrot? You are so small, and the fire is so big. Your drops of water won’t stop the fire."
The parrot, feeling tired but determined, answered, "I am doing what I can. This is my home, and these are my friends. Even if I am small, if everyone helps, we can make a big difference."
The wise owl was impressed by the parrot’s courage. It spread the message to the other birds.

Soon, all the little drops became many, and together they put out the fire.

There is a little parrot. It lives in a big forest. The parrot is happy. It sings and plays every day.
One day, a big storm comes. The storm makes a fire in the forest. The fire is very big and scary. The animals are afraid. They run away to be safe.
The little parrot sees the fire. It wants to help. The parrot flies to a river. It dips its feathers in the water. Then, the parrot flies back to the fire. It shakes its feathers, and some water falls on the fire.
The parrot does this again and again. It is very tired, but it does not stop.
A wise owl sees the parrot. The owl says, “You are small, and the fire is big. Your water drops are very small.”
The little parrot says, “I do my best. This is my home, and I want to help.”
The wise owl smiles and tells the other birds. The birds fly to the river. They dip their wings in the water. Then, they fly back to the fire. They all shake their wings. The water drops become many, and together they stop the fire.
The animals are safe. They thank the parrot and the birds. The little parrot is now known as the Brave Little Parrot.
The animals learn that even small help can be important when everyone works together.

Once upon a time, snuggled in the squishy heart of a forest filled with giggling trees and dancing flowers, lived a charming little parrot. This parrot had a flair for the dramatic, spending its days singing show tunes and playing hide-and-seek with its friends. Sometimes, it would even put on a top hat and do a little jig!
One day, BOOM! A fierce lightning storm started, and a bolt of lightning hit a tree, starting a fire. It was like a barbecue gone horribly wrong!
The fire spread like a really fast game of tag, scaring all the animals. They ran, they flew, they hopped, they did the cha-cha-cha, trying to escape the burning hot dance floor!
As the little parrot watched this chaos, it put on its thinking cap and thought, "Crikey! I must do something to stop this fire and save our home."
So, the brave little parrot with the heart of a giant elephant decided to douse the fire. It flew to the nearest river, dunked itself in, and then flew over the burning forest like a wet, feathered superhero! SPLAT! SPLAT! Tiny droplets of water fell onto the flames, like it was playing a game of 'Drop the Water Balloon.'
An old wise owl, with glasses perched on its beak, flew up and asked, "Why are you doing this, little parrot? You're like a teaspoon trying to empty a bathtub! Your wings are small, and the fire's larger than a dragon's hiccup!"
The brave little parrot, tired but filled with spunk, replied, "Well, Mr. Owl, I'm doing what I can. This is my home, these are my friends, and I've got the heart of a lion, the bravery of a bear, and the wet feathers of a, well, wet parrot. If everyone chips in, we can make a big splash!"
The owl, clearly impressed, spread the word. Inspired by the parrot's courage, all the birds became wet-feathered superheroes, and the droplets became a shower, like the grand finale at a water park!
Soon, the fire was out, and all the animals cheered, "Hip, Hip, Hooray!" They thanked the little parrot, who did a humble bow and maybe a little tap dance.
From that day forward, the little parrot was known as the "Brave Little Parrot," and all the animals knew that no matter how big or small they were, they could make a difference.
Deep within a verdant glade,
A parrot's song did serenade.
Among its peers, it danced and sang,
Till lightning's flash and thunder's clang.
The skies grew dark, the winds grew wild,
A fire arose, danger compiled.
The creatures fled, their homes in plight,
From roaring flames and fearsome light.
But our brave parrot, bold and true,
Knew deep inside what it must do.
To the river, swiftly it flew,
Drenched its feathers, and back it drew.
Again and again, without retreat,
Dropping droplets, the heat to beat.
Over and over, it gave its all,
Despite its size, so very small.
"Little parrot," said the wise old owl,
"Do you not think your actions are foul?
Your tiny drops, against flames so vast,
Can they truly make the fire outlast?"
But parrot replied, with spirit so bright,
"This is my home, my cause, my fight!
Though I'm but small, with heart so grand,
I'll do my bit, for this great land."
Owl's heart was moved, his spirit stirred,
He shared the tale, to all who heard.
Birds of all kinds, joined the fray,
Together they kept the blaze at bay.
With combined strength, the flames did cease,
Returning the forest to its peace.
All cheered aloud for parrot's feat,
Inspired by its courage, a deed so sweet.
Very bad weather with strong winds and rain.
Bright flash in the sky during a storm.
Can cause harm or injury; not safe.
Complete confusion or lack of order.
Willing to face danger or fear without hesitation.
The visible part of a fire.
Not giving up, even when it's hard.
The ability to do something scary or difficult.
Encouraged by someone’s actions to do something good.
Acting with others to achieve a common goal.
A large place with many trees.
Strong weather with wind, rain, and noise.
Something hot that burns and gives light.
Feeling scared or not safe.
Soft things that cover a bird's body.
Moves something quickly back and forth.
Very smart from learning and experience.
Small amounts of water that fall.
Doing something with others, not alone.
Not scared to do something difficult.
Very bad weather with strong winds and rain.
Bright flash in the sky during a storm.
Can cause harm or injury; not safe.
Complete confusion or lack of order.
Willing to face danger or fear without hesitation.
The visible part of a fire.
Not giving up, even when it's hard.
The ability to do something scary or difficult.
Encouraged by someone’s actions to do something good.
Acting with others to achieve a common goal.
