    Once upon a time, in a forest brimming with life, lived a little bird named Joy. Joy was known for her bright plumage and melodious song that echoed through the forest every morning.

    Joy was different from other birds. She felt a deep connection with a being she could not see but feel around her. She called this being God and expressed her love through her morning songs.

    Every sunrise, Joy would perch on the tallest tree, close her eyes, and sing praises to God. Her melodious tunes filled the air, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere.

    One day, a storm ravaged the forest, uprooting trees and shaking the earth. Joy's home, the tallest tree, was destroyed, leaving her homeless and frightened.

    Despite the adversity, Joy did not lose faith. Instead, she thanked God for her safety and began her search for a new home, chirping her prayerful song all along the way.

    As she traversed the devastated forest, she found a tiny sapling standing firm amidst the wreckage. She saw it as a sign from God and decided to make it her new home.

    Days turned into weeks, and the sapling grew into a strong, tall tree. Joy's faith in God remained unwavered, and she continued her ritual of singing praises every morning.

    One day, a young boy wandered into the forest. He was lost and scared. Hearing Joy's melodious songs, he was drawn towards the sound.
