One day, a little girl named Amy was playing in her room. She had a big, soft mattress to jump on. Amy liked to count how many times she could jump. She felt good when she jumped high.
Amy's friend, Ben, came over to play. They both started to jump on the mattress. Ben said, "I can jump more times than you!" This made Amy sad. They decided to have a jumping contest to see who could jump the most.
As they started to jump, something unexpected happened. A funny, talking bird flew in through the window. The bird said, "Stop! If you jump too much, the mattress will break!" Amy and Ben stopped jumping. They looked at each other and laughed. They didn't know birds could talk. The bird had saved their mattress, and they all became good friends.
