Once upon a time, there was a little bird named Benny who lived in a nest in the west. One day, he noticed a pest moving into his tree. The pest was taking over Benny's nest and wouldn't leave! Benny had to think of a plan to get rid of the pest.

He decided to have a contest to see who was the best at making the pest leave. Benny and his friends gathered at the crest of the hill and started the test. They tried everything they could think of, but nothing worked.

Just when they were about to give up, Benny remembered something his mother had told him- "the best way to get rid of pests is to make them feel welcome." So, Benny invited the pest to share his chest of seeds with him. The pest was so grateful that it decided to leave the nest and find its own home.

And from that day on, Benny and the pest became good friends, and every day they would rest and enjoy each other's company. The end.
