Missing Blue

Hi I’m Silver and I want to tell you a story about Blue. Blue is my friend. She is a little blue bird but she can be a bit scared of stuff.

I woke up wanting to see Blue. I had a little stretch before I went to see her. As I walked out of my den the warm sun sone my fur. The birds started to tweet in their nest and I began to find blue. When I got to Blue’s home, I had a peek in side to see her but when I went to look Blue was gone! I started to panic because blue was now missing! I started to yell out “Blue, Blue where are you?” I started to search throw the forest. I search were Blue picks worms, I searched the hills, I searched Blues favourite place, I searched the river but no Blue could be found.

I asked Blues friends if they had seen her and one of Blues friends said they had seen her at a nearby nest. They told me where the nest was and I began to run towards the nest. I started to yell out “Blue, Blue where are you?” again. I heard a little tweet in a nest and when I went to look at it, I saw Blue I was SOOOO relieved to see her. She was holding a little straw basket in her beak with her sick grandma. She was giving some fruit to her. “Where were you?” I asked “I was picking fruit for my sick grandma” she replied “I thought you were missing” I said “why would I be missing?” said Blue “I don’t know?” I said “well once I’m done, we can play!” said Blue “yay” I yelled “shhh” said Blue “sorry” I replied.

And that’s my story. From Silver
