The great forest feast

 

“The Great Forest Feast”

In the heart of Sunnyleaf Forest, animals lived in harmony. Every creature, from the tiniest ant to the tallest giraffe, had its own special role. But one sunny morning, an idea spread like wildfire—"Let’s have a feast for the whole forest!"

Squirrel Sammy was the first to speak up.

"I’ll collect nuts and berries!" he said, his fluffy tail twitching with excitement.

"I can bake honey cakes!" buzzed Bella the bee.

Toby the turtle smiled slowly. "I can carry things on my back, even if I’m not fast."

Soon, every animal was offering help. It became clear: this feast could only happen if everyone worked together.

But not everyone agreed at first.

"I can do it all myself," boasted Freddie the fox. "Why wait for others?"

He tried to gather food, build tables, and make decorations all alone. But he got tired, grumpy, and made a big mess.

That’s when Grandma Owl gathered everyone beneath the wisdom tree.

“Working alone may seem faster, but working together is stronger. Like tree roots under the ground, teamwork makes us grow.”

Freddie looked down, ears drooping. “I think I understand now,” he said. “Can I still help?”

“Of course!” said Bella. “We need your clever ideas!”

Freddie smiled and helped design signs and games for the forest feast. He felt proud—and not so tired.

On the day of the feast, the forest was filled with laughter, music, and delicious smells. Birds sang, rabbits danced, and even the shy hedgehogs came out to play.

Each animal had brought something: food, decorations, games, or smiles.

And when the sun began to set, they all sat in a giant circle, paws and wings touching, and sang a song and here it is 

"When we all lend a helping paw,

We find the joy, we find the awe.

Big or small, fast or slow—

Together we make the forest glow!"

From that day on, no one ever said “I’ll do it alone” again.
