There is a beautiful story about birds helping each other in a book[6]
which you must read for yourselves when you grow older.
One day a man was out with his gun, and shot a sea-bird, called a tern,
which fell wounded into the sea, near the water's edge. The man stood
and waited until the wind should blow the bird near enough for him to
reach it, when, to his surprise, he saw two other terns fly down to the
poor wounded bird and take hold of him, one at each wing, lift him out
of the water, and carry him seawards. Two other terns followed, and when
the first two had carried him a few yards and were tired, they laid him
down gently and the next two picked him up, and so they went on carrying
him in turns until they reached a rock a good way off, where they laid
him down. The sportsman then made his way to the rock, but when they saw
him coming, a whole swarm of terns came together, and just before he
reached the place, two of them again lifted up the wounded bird and bore
him out to sea. The man was near enough to have hindered this if he had
wished, but he was so pleased to see the kindness of the birds that he
would not take the poor creature from them.
So we have learnt another lesson from the birds, and will write it down.

Birds helped the Wounded Tern; we should Help Each Other.
