One bird saw the rain and cried:
“It's too wet to be outside!!!”
The other bird said with a laugh:
“What a nice day for a bath.”
One day when they needed rests,
Two birds made two little nests.
Side by side upon a branch…
…one happy home, one ragged ranch.
Then a tempest raged outside…
…so two birds found a place to hide.
There they huddled, safe and warm…
…as they weathered out the storm.
Soon, their tree began to sway…
…and all their trappings blew away.
The wild wind raged on and on…
…until their tiny nests were gone.
One bird stompted and shook her wings…
“We lost out nests! We lost our things!!!”
She cursed the wind that caused this strife…
“This is the WORST day of my life!!!!”
The other bird was homeless, too…
“But I am safe, and so are you!!!”
And so she raised her voice to say:
“I’ve never known a better day!!!”
