    Once upon a time, a brown-haired boy named Leroy lived on a farm in the valley. His father, a large, robust farmer loved tractors and taught Leroy all about them.

    Leroy was thrilled to learn about the tractor. His father patiently explained each part, from the engine to the hydraulics.

    They had a colorful bird friend, Chirpy, who chirped while they worked. One day, Chirpy led them to see a flock of birds flying united in the sky.

    Leroy grew skilled at driving the tractor. He felt proud driving around the farm. His father's pride in him was evident.

    During harvest season, Leroy helped his dad with the tractor, working from sunrise to sunset. Despite the hard work, he loved every minute.

    Chirpy left when the birds flew south for winter. Leroy missed Chirpy, but he knew it would return in the spring.

    When spring arrived, Leroy was thrilled to see Chirpy again. The farm activities resumed and Leroy helped with ploughing and sowing seeds.

    As Leroy grew, so did his passion for farming. He was a young farmer now, and his father couldn't be prouder.

    One sunny day, Leroy took Chirpy on a tractor ride around the farm. They watched the sunset, and Chirpy sang a beautiful song.
