Once upon a time, there was a big, red ball. The ball liked to bounce all day. It would bounce in the grass, on the road, and even in the house. The ball was very happy when it could bounce.
One sunny day, the ball went to play near a hedge. The hedge was green and not too tall. The weather was mild, so it was a great day to bounce. The ball bounced and bounced near the hedge, having so much fun.
But then, the ball bounced too high and got stuck in the hedge! The ball was sad and didn't know what to do. A kind bird saw the ball and wanted to help. The bird flew up and pushed the ball out of the hedge. The ball was free again and said thank you to the bird. They both played and bounced together for the rest of the day.
