The Musical Lesson of Coco the Cuckoo

Once upon a time, in a dense forest near a peaceful lake, lived a cuckoo named Coco. Coco was known for his silly antics and his love for singing. But, the other birds in the forest were not a fan of his singing, especially the eagle, who lived on top of a tall tree.

One day, Coco was singing his favorite song, and the eagle could not take it anymore. "Coco, please stop singing, your voice is giving me a headache," the eagle cried.

Coco replied, "I'm sorry, Mr. Eagle, but I can't help it, I just love to sing."

The eagle had an idea. He called all the birds in the forest for a meeting. The duck, dove, falcon, darter, and finch all gathered to hear what the eagle had to say.

"Friends, I have a plan to teach Coco a lesson," the eagle announced. "Let's all mimic his singing, but in a different tune."

All the birds agreed, and the next day, when Coco started to sing, the other birds joined in. But, instead of singing along with him, they sang their own songs, each in a different tune. Coco was so confused, he couldn't keep up with all the different tunes.

"What's going on?" Coco asked.

The eagle replied with a smirk, "We are teaching you to appreciate all types of music, not just your own."

Coco realized his mistake and apologized to the other birds. From that day on, he started to appreciate all types of music, and the other birds in the forest finally enjoyed his singing too.

And that, my friends, is the story of how Coco the cuckoo learned to appreciate different types of music.
