🍞 Pirrewitje and the Hungry Little Birds
On a lovely Tuesday afternoon, Pirrewitje was sitting in front of his little house in the hollowed-out tree. He had just eaten a sandwich.
On his plate were a few small crumbs left.
“Those are far too tasty to just leave behind,” said Pirrewitje.
Then he heard nearby:
“Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!”
On a branch sat three little birds. They looked curiously at Pirrewitje’s plate.
“Are you feeling hungry?” asked Pirrewitje.
“Chirp!” the birds called happily.
Pirrewitje gathered the crumbs and sprinkled them outside on a clean spot on the ground.
Immediately the little birds hopped closer.
Hop, hop, hop! Peck, peck, peck!
They feasted on the crumbs.
Pirrewitje smiled. “Look at that. What was left over for me is a little feast for you!”
One little bird flew to a branch above Pirrewitje’s head and sang:
“Tweet-tweet-tweet!”
“You’re welcome!” laughed Pirrewitje.
And so, Pirrewitje once again discovered that sharing something small can make someone else very happy. 🌳🐦💚
Shall I also make a nice drawing of Pirrewitje giving the crumbs to the little birds?
Yesss…
