Hummingbird

I really enjoyed all of your stories in the out-loud, in-class story telling haha, but seriously I did. So I though I'd share another one of mine with all of you!

HUMMINGBIRD

A sun-filled morning, a hummingbird named Sunny was standing on a branch of a tree and cried as she saw her little nest half done. And even though she had spent days looking for materials to build her house, she had found only a few branches and leaves and did not have enough. The hummingbird wanted to finish her ​​nest soon, because she wanted to live there when she married, but she was very poor and it seemed increasingly harder to finish a home and organize a wedding. The hummingbird was so small you could barely hear her crying, the only one to hear her cries was her neighbor, Ruby, who flew from branch to branch to find the sad little bird.

“What’s the matter, friend?” Ruby asked her.

“Oh! My grief is great!” she sobbed louder.

“Tell me, maybe I can help.” replied Ruby.

“No! No one can cure my pain!” shrieked Sunny.

“Come on, tell me!” insisted Ruby.

“Well," Sunny agreed. "Note that I want to get married, but my boyfriend and I are so poor we have no nest nor can we make a party.”

“Oops! Now that's a problem, because I am poor also.” answered Ruby.

“See? I told you, no one can help me!” she shouted.

“Do not cry. Wait, I’ll think of something right now.” Ruby said. The two birds thought for a while. Desperate, Sunny was going to mourn again when Ruby had an idea:

“Look, you and I alone are not going to be able to handle planning a wedding. We have to call other animals to help us.” As Ruby finished speaking, Sunny sang a song. She sang of a small bird who wanted to marry, but had no resources to do so, then she repeated the song. Her voice was so sweet, some animals and even water and trees came to listen. When she noticed they were very attentive to her words, she asked for help with her song. With those words, Sunny would explain that she had no collar, no clothing, no shoes, no comb, no mirror, no candy, no flowers. While Sunny sang, Ruby shed big tears. Thus, between the two, they ensured that everyone present wanted to help. For a moment it remained silent, then, several voices were heard:

“Let there be a wedding! I will give the necklace,” a bird said, prepared to provide the yellow trim on her chest.

"Let there be a wedding! I will make a dress," offered the spider and began to weave a very fine cloth to dress the bride.

"Let there be a wedding! I will give the shoes," said the deer.

"Let there be a wedding! I will give a comb," promised the iguana and removed some of the spikes covering its back.

“Let there be a wedding! I will give the mirror," said the cenote--because its water was so clear and beautiful that it could be considered the bride.

“Let there be a wedding! I will give the sweet candy,” the bee agreed and went to get honey from the hive. With that, all the necessary was ready for the wedding. Sunny cried once again, but now with joy. Then she flew to seek the groom and said that they could marry. A few days later, there was a big wedding, and of course, Ruby was the godmother. At the party there was everything, because many guests brought gifts. Since then, Sunny stopped lamenting their poverty, they knew they had great friends.
