Bluebird’s First Long Flight
-
Bluebird could fly to the apple tree.
She could fly to the fence.
She had never flown over the hill.
-
Today there was a message to carry.
It had to go over the hill.
Bluebird looked at that hill for a long time.
-
Her wings felt very small.
So she flew to the apple tree first.
Then the fence. Then a little further than the fence.
-
The hill was underneath her before she noticed.
Brave is not one big jump.
Brave is one more wingbeat, and then one more.
