The Love Story of a Bird and a Whale
The Love Story of a Bird and a Whale
A bird and a whale shared a mutual love for each other. The bird was enamored with the whale's graceful swimming and beautiful smile. Meanwhile, the whale was enamored with the bird's white feathers and ability to soar through the sky. During the summer, the two would meet in the bay and talk about the moon, waves, and ships in the ocean. The bird would tell jokes that made the whale laugh, and the whale would sing beautiful songs that made the bird cry.
"One day you might meet my family in the ocean," said the whale. "And you could meet my friends on earth," said the bird. Everything seemed perfect. But life goes on, and seasons change. As summer turned to fall and fall turned to winter, the ocean grew cold, and all the whales migrated to warmer waters. "Come with me to a place where the waters are always warm and there's plenty of fish to eat," said the whale.
"I love eating fish," said the bird. "And I love being with you. I'll follow you anywhere, but first, teach me to be a whale," said the bird. "Of course!" said the whale, and she dove into the water. "Alright!" said the bird, following her and diving deeper and deeper. "I'm swimming!" he exclaimed with laughter. "I am a whale!"
But soon, he couldn't breathe and had to return to the surface, gasping for air. The bird tried and tried to swim, but every time, he ran out of breath. "I don't think a bird can be a whale," said the bird. "You better come with me. I live on the cliffs. It's warm and cozy there and every morning you can see the sunrise." "I love watching the sunrise," said the whale. "And I love being with you. I'll follow you anywhere, but first, teach me to be a bird," said the whale. "Of course!" said the bird, and he flapped his wings and soared into the sky. "Alright!" said the whale, she closed her eyes and flapped her wings like the bird.
It flapped and flapped, up and down. Water splashed everywhere. "I am flying!" she laughed. "I am a bird!" But when the whale opened its eyes, she realized she was not rising into the sky, she was still in the water. She tried and tried to fly, but she couldn't. "I don't think a whale can be a bird," said the whale. “We can't fly and swim respectively, where can we live together?” said the bird. “We will stay here, in the waves!” said the whale. But the bird shook its head sadly. “You love swimming deep in the ocean, that's what you like to do the most. You will never be happy here,” said the bird. "And you love flying and gliding in the sky," said the whale. “That's what you like to do the most. You won't be happy here either."
The bird and the whale, who loved each other deeply, said goodbye. Though they parted ways, they never forgot each other. The whale would look up at the sky and see a bird flying high and think of her bird, wishing that he was enjoying the heavens like that. Similarly, the bird would see a whale diving deep into the ocean and think of his whale, wishing that she was enjoying the ocean that way.
