Once upon a time, there was a bony bird named Bertha who lived in a tree. Bertha had a friend named Flit who was always very polite. One day, Bertha let out a huge burp and Flit said "Bertha, that was so rude!" Bertha replied, "I couldn't help it, I barely had enough breath to fly!" They both laughed and flew to a branch to rest. "This is the best branch we've ever found," said Flit. Bertha agreed and they cuddled up together. From that day on, Bertha tried her best to not burp in front of Flit, but sometimes she just couldn't help it! The end.
