Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Tim. Tim had a toy gun that could shoot soft balls. He loved to play with his toy gun in the backyard. One day, he saw a broken tree branch on the ground. He thought it looked like a fun target to shoot.
Tim picked up his toy gun and aimed at the broken branch. Just as he was about to shoot, a little bird flew down and sat on the branch. The bird said, "Please don't shoot me or the branch. I have a nest with my baby birds up in the tree, and they need me."
Tim felt bad and didn't want to hurt the bird or her babies. So, he looked around for something else to shoot. He saw an olive on the ground and thought it would be a great target. He aimed and shot the olive, and it rolled away.
The little bird thanked Tim for not shooting the branch. Tim was happy that he could play and have fun without hurting anyone. From that day on, Tim only shot things that wouldn't hurt anyone, like olives and soft balls. And he and the little bird became good friends.
