The Early Bird
(135 words)
I'm uuuuupppp!
The early bird gets the worm, and I am one eeeaaarly bird!
Wait. What’s going on here?!
This place is full of early birds up before me….
That's fine. Maybe I'm not the earliest, but I'll get the biggest, juiciest worm.
Nope, Joe's worm is bigger. So is Sasha’s.
It's hopeless.
No worries, I can sing the most glorious morning tune!
Nope. Tony's song is sweeter and Maya’s has more trills.
Tweeeeeet boo whoo
I'm not the best at…
anything!
–Who said you had to be the best?
Me I guess. –
–Well, why don't you just be you?
Tweet ta-taa-whee!
Okay, that doesn’t sound so bad.
You know, I like my song.
And I like my juicy treat.
I don't have to be the earliest bird
To get the perfect worm
for me.
