Once upon a time, there was a big thick tree. It had many long branches, and a big neck. A little bird lived in the tree. The bird loved to sing and play all day.
One day, the bird saw a man. The man had a bag of food. The bird wanted some food too. The man said, "If you sing a song for me, I will give you some food." The bird was happy to pay for the food with a song.
The bird sang a beautiful song. The man was very happy. He gave the bird some food. The bird ate the food and said, "Thank you!" The man and the bird became good friends. They played and sang together every day under the thick tree with the big neck.
