On a bright and sunny day, Daisy the cow was munching on some fresh green grass in her meadow. She was big, strong, and very happy. But little did she know, someone was watching her from the tall oak tree nearby.
It was Chirpy, the tiny bird with the biggest ideas. He fluffed up his feathers and declared, “I, Chirpy the Brave, will kidnap Daisy the cow! I will lift her up into the sky and fly her to my nest!”
Of course, Chirpy didn’t think about the fact that he was smaller than one of Daisy’s ears.
With a dramatic swoop, Chirpy landed right in front of Daisy. “Don’t cry, Daisy!” he chirped. “Crying won’t help. I’m going to kidnap you!”
Daisy looked at the little bird with a puzzled expression. “Kidnap me? How?”
“By lifting you into the air!” Chirpy said proudly. He spread his tiny wings as wide as he could.
Daisy couldn’t help but giggle. “Well, go ahead then, Chirpy. Let’s see you try.”
Chirpy flapped his wings as fast as he could. He flapped and flapped until his feathers were practically a blur. He even gave a little hop to add some extra power. But no matter how hard he tried, Daisy didn’t budge an inch. In fact, she didn’t even stop chewing her grass.
“Hmm,” said Chirpy, puffing out his chest. “Maybe I need to use a special bird technique!”
He flew in circles around Daisy, trying to lift her from different angles. He pulled on her tail (which made Daisy laugh so hard she nearly fell over). He even tried to grab her hoof with his tiny claws, but that only tickled.
Finally, exhausted and out of breath, Chirpy flopped onto the grass. “Why… are… you… so… heavy?” he panted.
“Well, Chirpy,” Daisy said with a big smile, “I’m a cow. Cows are big and heavy. You, my dear friend, are very small. But I appreciate the effort!”
Chirpy sighed and stared up at the sky. “Maybe I should stick to carrying twigs for my nest.”
“That sounds like a good plan,” Daisy said kindly. “But you know what? You’re welcome to sit on my back whenever you want. It’s the best view in the meadow!”
From that day on, Chirpy gave up his kidnapping plans and became Daisy’s official lookout. He would perch on her back, chirping happily about the clouds, the breeze, and the silly idea he once had.
And Daisy? She loved her new little friend.
