A young girl recalls a story of bird feeders and kindness in summer heat.
It was afternoon and it was very hot outside.
Priya was coming home after playing.
She was drinking water again and again.
So, Priya's mother got upset with her. She wanted her to wait for her body to cool down first.
But Priya left for the terrace.
She saw her bird friend, RIYA, who was lying fainted due to heat.
Priya saw that there was a bowl on the roof.
So, she poured some water in it, and tried to feed the bird.
As soon as the bird drank water, she became happy.
She flew away.
Priya was also very happy. She liked doing this very much.
She learnt that we should always keep some water in bird feeders on our roofs.
We must help animals in every way and so we must "HELP EVERYONE".
