Once upon a time, there was a little parrot named Polly. Polly lived in a tall tree in the jungle. She was a very talkative parrot and loved to chat with her friends.

One day, while Polly was talking to her friends, she noticed that one of them, a short parrot named Pete, was feeling down. Pete was always short and he wished he was tall like Polly.

Polly felt bad for Pete and wanted to help him feel better. She had an idea and flew down to the jungle floor to gather some tall grass. She brought the tall grass back to the tree and showed it to Pete.

Pete was confused at first, but then Polly explained that he could use the tall grass to make himself taller. Together, they wove the tall grass into a tall hat for Pete to wear.

When Pete put on the tall hat, he felt like a new parrot. He stood tall and proud and was no longer ashamed of his height. From that day on, Pete and Polly were the best of friends and went on many adventures together.

Moral of the story: Don't judge yourself by your height, instead find ways to make the best of what you have.
