The singing bird

In a small Forrest, near a tiny town, lived a little bird who loved to sing. It would sing all day to the tune of different harmonies and melodies. The bird would sing a happy song when feeling joyful and a slow song while feeling sad, but mostly this bird would sing the blues. The chirping blues singing bird loved to sing the blues over and over again. Since the tune was so uncommon, none of the other birds could sing along which made them all very upset. The other birds would show kindness to the little bird, but only for a short time until they could no longer ignore the song. The little bird didn't mind moving from flock to flock at first. After all, the little bird loved how much attention it's song brought to a new group. Unfortunately, after loosing many feathered friends and running out of places to go, the bird began to wonder why it's song was so different from everyone else's. No matter how hard the little bird tried , it couldn't change it's tune. Before long, the little bird stopped singing all together. The other birds liked the little bird better this way, but the little bird was depressed. After six months, the little bird lost it's voice, it's color, and it's beauty. The little bird watched, lonely, as all the other birds sang love songs and flew to bigger better places. Adventures the little bird would never know. The little bird often wondered if it had been a mistake to stop singing. It liked having friends, but the cost was misery in silence. After years of watching other birds be happy and find families of their own, the little bird decided it was better to sing alone then be miserable with a bunch of others. The little bird opened it's beak and began to chirp the blues. It chirped so much that it's color and happiness returned whole the depression left. After hours of singing, the little bird was happy. Although the other birds flew far away from the unique song, the little bird chirped and sang for the rest of it's days. Happy, colorful, and unique. Different was good after all.
