Once upon a time, there was a little bird who lived in a tree. He was feeling nervous one day because he heard that a big storm was coming. So he decided to protect himself by putting on his red helmet.

As he was flying up, he saw a car coming down the road and honked its horn. The bird swerved to avoid the car but then realized he was lost! He started flapping his wings, trying to find his way back to the tree.

Just then, he remembered the signal he had learned from his mother. She told him to pedal his wings quickly three times if he needed help. So, he did just that and a friendly truck driver saw the bird's distress signal and helped guide him back to his tree.

The bird was so happy and grateful to be safe and sound back in his tree. He learned that wearing a helmet and knowing how to signal for help are important things to do when you're feeling nervous. The end.
