Once upon a time, in a cozy little village between rolling green hills, a cheerful boy named Fahd was watching the birds. Every morning, he heard their sweet songs and loved to look at them in the big oak tree in his yard. One sunny day, he saw a tiny sparrow hopping nervously on a low branch. "Hello there!" Fahd called. "Why aren't you flying with your friends?" The sparrow looked at him with worried eyes and said softly, "I'm Sammy. I'm afraid to fly. The sky is so big!"
Fahd smiled warmly and replied, "Everyone gets scared sometimes, but I believe you can do it!" Suddenly, a breeze rustled the leaves, and a colorful feather floated down, landing by Sammy. "Wow! Look at that feather!" Fahd exclaimed. "It's a sign! Maybe it will help you be brave!" Sammy took the feather and felt a spark of courage. "I’ll try to fly!" he chirped, and with each tiny hop, he began to soar higher. Soon, he was flying joyfully across the blue sky, seeing the world in a way he never had before.
As Sammy soared above the village, he couldn't believe the beauty below him. The fields stretched out like a green patchwork quilt, and the river glistened like a ribbon of silver. He flapped his wings with a newfound confidence, feeling the gentle wind beneath him. Fahd watched from the ground, clapping his hands with joy. "You did it, Sammy! You're flying!" he cheered, and Sammy's heart swelled with happiness.
But soon, Sammy noticed a little robin struggling against the wind. Remembering how Fahd had encouraged him, Sammy swooped down to the robin's side. "Don't be afraid," he chirped, "I'll fly with you!" Together, they braved the gusty breeze, finding strength in each other's company. With each flap of their wings, Sammy realized that courage was not just about bravery, but also about helping others be brave too.
When he finally returned to the oak tree, the other birds gathered around him, chirping in admiration. "Look at how brave you are, Sammy!" they exclaimed. Fahd stood nearby, smiling proudly at his friend's newfound confidence. "Thank you for believing in me," Sammy said to Fahd, "and for teaching me that courage is even better when shared." And from that day on, Sammy was no longer the sparrow who feared the sky, but the one who soared bravely, inspiring others with his courage.
