Forest Story

Transcript

00:00Once upon a time, in the heart of a vast and peaceful forest, birds chirped in harmony,

00:06trees whispered ancient stories to the wind, and animals of all shapes and sizes lived together in

00:10joy. This forest was unlike any other. The sun painted golden rays through thick green canopies,

00:16and tiny sparkling rivers flowed like silver threads across the land. At the center of this

00:20magical place stood an old, towering palm tree. Its trunk was strong, its leaves wide, and at the

00:26very top lived a small, clever sparrow named Chinima. Though Chinima was tiny, her mind was

00:32sharp, her heart was brave, and her words were filled with wisdom. Every animal in the forest

00:38knew her name. If someone lost their way, Chinima would guide them. If an argument broke out, she

00:43would settle it with fairness. And if trouble ever came, everyone knew Chinama would have a plan.

00:48One bright morning, as the dew still clung to the leaves and the air smelled of blooming jasmine,

00:52something extraordinary happened. A flash of vibrant colors swooped through the forest, skyred.

00:57Orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, vilatol blended in the feathers of a dazzling parrot.

01:03The birds stopped singing. The monkeys paused mid-swing. Even the butterflies fluttered in wonder.

01:09The parrot landed gracefully on a low branch of the palm tree, his tail shimmering like a painter's

01:13brush dipped in sunlight. Hello, everyone, he chirped with flair. I'm Riantha, most colorful,

01:19most charming parrot in the skies. I've come from the Valley of Rainbows to explore this forest.

01:24And who might be your leader? The animals looked at one another and gently pointed toward the top

01:28of the palm tree. Chinima, they said in unison. Rian tilted his head and laughed. That little brown

01:34sparrow? She's your leader? Oh, surely you jest. She's so plain. From the top of the tree, Chinima watched

01:41calmly. She smiled and flew down to meet the newcomer. Welcome to our forest, Rian, she said kindly.

01:46We value everyone here not for their feathers, but for their hearts. Rian scoffed, but said

01:52nothing. He looked around, secretly amazed at how well the forest worked together. But

01:57he still believed he could do better.
