Once upon a time, there was a thoughtful little boy named Theo. He lived in a small village nestled in the thick of the forest. Theo loved to explore the woods, and he knew all the best paths through the thicket.

One day, as he was wandering through the woods, he came across a thorny bush. In the middle of the bush, he saw a beautiful bird with feathers as bright as the sun. The bird was trapped, its wings tangled in the thorns.

Theo knew he had to help. He carefully made his way through the thorns, being sure not to prick himself. When he reached the bird, he gently untangled its wings and set it free.

The bird chirped gratefully and flew away, leaving behind a single feather as a thank you. Theo picked up the feather and put it in his cap. From that day on, he wore it everywhere he went as a reminder of his good deed.

And so, Theo continued to explore the forest, always on the lookout for new adventures and ways to help others.
