In a lively Indian village bursting with colors and sounds, 10-year-old Tinu loved wandering through lush fields and bustling markets. Every morning, a cheerful crow with shimmering black feathers would visit him, cawing happily. Tinu wondered if he could find more friends and discover something magical from his feathered companion, feeling a gentle warmth of curiosity and hope.
As the village prepared for the grand festival, Tinu eagerly looked for his crow friend. But one morning, the crow was nowhere to be seen. Tinu's smile faded into concern, and a wave of sadness washed over him. Without his feathered friend, the festival felt dull and lonely, and Tinu wondered if he would enjoy the celebration alone.
Determined to find his missing friend, Tinu stepped into the nearby forest, where sunlight danced through the leaves. Along the way, he met Grandma, who shared stories of friendship and trust, reminding Tinu that kindness could reveal secrets. Inspired, Tinu began helping villagers prepare for the festival, hoping to find his crow and learn something special about true friendship.
Deep in the forest, Tinu discovered his crow trapped in a thorny bush, trying to protect a nest of tiny baby birds. Tinu faced a tough choice: help his friend or rush back for the festival. With courage swelling in his heart, he chose to free the crow and the baby birds, risking being late but knowing that kindness mattered most.
After freeing the crow and the baby birds, the crow revealed its secret: it had been hiding to keep the nest safe from danger. Tinu realized that true friendship means caring and helping others, even when it’s hard. He hurried back to the village, just in time for the festival, feeling happier and braver than ever, surrounded by the warmth of friendship and community.
