Category: Moral Story | Age Group: 6–12 Years
Hi kids! Today I'm going to tell you a very special story about a tiny sparrow who changed her whole forest.Let,s begin!
Once upon a time, in a beautiful green forest, there lived a tiny brown sparrow named Tiki. She was the smallest bird in the forest, but her heart was full of courage. All the other birds loved to fly high and show off their colorful feathers, but Tiki always felt shy because she was small and plain.
Every morning, the forest was filled with songs — parrots chattered, cuckoos sang, and peacocks danced. But Tiki used to sit quietly on a small branch, watching them from far away. “I’m too small to make a difference,” she would sigh.
One bright sunny day, something terrible happened. A strong wind blew across the forest, and a thick smoke began to fill the air. The animals started running — monkeys jumped from trees, rabbits ran to their burrows, and even the mighty elephants looked scared.
“Fire! Fire!” shouted the deer as red flames began to rise from the dry grass.
The beautiful green forest was now turning into a fiery orange. The animals gathered near the river, crying helplessly. Tiki flew near them and asked, “Why aren’t we doing something?”
The wise old owl replied sadly, “The fire is too big, little one. We can’t stop it.”
Tiki looked at the burning trees, her heart pounding. She couldn’t bear to see her home destroyed. Without thinking twice, she flew to the river, dipped her tiny beak into the water, and carried a few drops toward the fire. She let the drops fall onto the flames — sssss! — the fire hissed but didn’t stop.
The parrot laughed. “What are you doing, Tiki? Your few drops can’t stop this huge fire!”
But Tiki didn’t stop. She flew again to the river, filled her beak with more water, and returned to drop it over the fire. Again and again, she repeated it — her wings were tired, her throat was dry, but she didn’t give up.
The peacock shouted, “You’re wasting your time!”
But Tiki replied bravely, “Maybe I can’t stop the fire alone, but at least I’m doing my part.”
Hearing this, a young rabbit felt inspired. “Tiki is right! If everyone helps, maybe we can save our home!” he cried.
Soon, the monkeys began to fill leaves with water and throw them on the fire. The elephants sucked water in their trunks and sprayed it on the burning trees. The parrots carried small twigs away from the fire to stop it from spreading.
Slowly, together, all the animals began to fight back. The fire grew smaller and smaller until finally — pffff! — it went out completely. The forest was saved!
All the animals cheered. The owl said proudly, “Little Tiki, you have taught us a great lesson today — no one is too small to make a difference.”
The peacock bowed his colorful feathers. “Forgive me, Tiki. I laughed at you, but you are the bravest among us.”
Tiki smiled shyly. “I just did what I could,” she said.
From that day on, Tiki became the hero of the forest. Every morning, when she sang, all the birds stopped to listen. Her song was no longer shy — it was filled with pride, courage, and hope.
