Moosling the Hero

Moosling the Hero

“ Help! Help! ” someone called. Moosling ran to help.

A nest of baby birds had fallen into the river. The frightened mother bird was calling for help.

Moosling jumped into the river. He swam as fast as he could. He swam under the water, and he came up with the nest and the baby birds on his head.

“ Oh, Moosling, you are my hero! ” said the mother bird. “ Thank you! Thank you! ” Other animals ran up to thank Moosling. They called him a hero, too.

Then they tried to get the bird's nest off Moosling's head. First, Beaver tugged at it. Then Rabbit tugged even harder. That didn't work, so Beaver, Rabbit, and Skunk all tugged at it together. But the nest was stuck! “ My babies are too little to leave the nest, " their mother said. “ They will have to stay there on Moosling's head until they can fly. "
