Once upon a time, there was a beautiful house with a red roof made of tiles. The house was built with bricks and had a tall chimney on top. The chimney was used to make fire for cooking and warmth in the winter.

One day, a little bird flew by and saw the house. The bird was tired from flying and wanted to rest, so it landed on the roof of the house. The bird was amazed by the view from the roof. It could see the whole neighborhood from up there.

The bird then saw a balcony on the side of the house and decided to explore. It flew down to the balcony and saw a set of stairs leading to the ground. The bird flew down the stairs and saw a beautiful garden surrounding the house.

The bird was so happy to have found such a beautiful place to rest. It decided to make the house its home and build a nest on top of the chimney. The bird lived happily in the house for many years and enjoyed the view from the roof, the balcony, and the garden.

Years went by, and the bird grew old. One day, it decided to fly away and explore the world again. But it promised to come back to the house and visit its old home.

The house still stands tall and proud, with its red roof, brick walls, and chimney. And every now and then, a little bird stops by to say hello and rest on the roof, just like it did all those years ago.

Reflections

1. What did the little bird do when it first saw the house with the red roof?
2. Where did the little bird build its nest?
3. What did the little bird promise to do after it left the house?
4. Why did the bird choose to make the house its home?
5. Can you think of a place you would like to make your home like the little bird? Why?
