Read together

Once upon a time, there was a silly dicky bird named Dilly. Dilly met a friend who could fly and decided he wanted to learn how to fly too. So, Dilly spread his wings and flew away from his home on the hill. However, after a while, Dilly got tired and wanted to go back. He tried flying back but just couldn't seem to make it up the hill. Suddenly, a gust of wind came and carried Dilly all the way back to the top of the hill, where he was safely reunited with his friends. From that day on, Dilly was known as the bravest dicky bird in the land, and everyone cheered whenever he spread his wings and took flight.
