Read together
Once upon a time, there was a little bird named Sam who lived in a sand castle by the beach. One day, while sailing on the sea with his friends, a big storm came and Sam got lost. He felt sad as he couldn't find his way back to his safe sand castle.
But then, he remembered that his father always told him to spread salt on his tail feathers so that he could always find his way back home. So, Sam did just that and soon enough, the salt led him back to his sand castle.
He learned that it's important to always be prepared and do what you can to stay safe. And from that day on, he made sure to spread salt on his tail feathers before sailing on the sea. And every time he looked back at his sand castle, he felt grateful and happy to be home. The end.
