Once upon a time there was a man named Jack. He had a little daughter Jennifer. One day Jack went into a forest and saw a lonely parrot. It looked ill. So he brought the parrot home and nursed it to health.
Jennifer loved the parrot very much and named her Molly. Soon Molly laid an egg. Out of it hatched a cute little baby parrot. They named her Polly. Polly started growing into a lovely bird. She loved her mother, Jennifer and Jack best in the world.
One day Molly fell very ill and died. Polly cried and cried and cried. She missed her mother very much. She was so sad that she stopped singing and eating. When Jennifer saw this she felt very sad. She kept thinking how she could cheer Polly up.
Suddenly she got a very good idea. Polly’s birthday was one week away. Jennifer decided to organize a birthday party for Polly. Jennifer had many friends who had birds as pets. These birds were Polly’s friends too.
Next morning when Polly woke up, she saw her friends around her and saw lots of green peppers, wonderful fruits, nuts and crackers. They had a lovely birthday party and Polly was happy again.
