    Tommy was a cheerful child who loved exploring the meadow near his house. He found joy in the simplest of things, be it chasing butterflies or watching the clouds.

    One sunny day, Tommy came across a nest with a baby bird that had fallen. He felt an immediate sense of responsibility towards the helpless creature.

    With his mother's help, Tommy built a birdhouse and started caring for the baby bird. His mother admired Tommy's compassion and encouraged him.

    Days turned into weeks. The bond between Tommy and the bird grew stronger. He named it 'Sky', inspired by the vastness of the world he wanted Sky to explore one day.

    One day, a storm was coming. Tommy's mother asked him to bring Sky inside. But Tommy knew that Sky had to learn to face the world, and this was the time.

    He let Sky out and watched as it struggled against the wind. It was hard for Tommy, but he knew this was the right thing to do.

    The next morning, Tommy rushed to the meadow. He found Sky perched on the oak tree, chirping happily. It had survived the storm and learned to fly.
